Michael Penix told Mike Vick that success this season is a playoff berth, and that will largely be decided by the level of play that Penix provides at the quarterback position. While some hold a bit of hesitation it feels that many Falcons fans are expecting Penix to explode this season, and 92.9 The Game Insider Joe Patrick answers the question of whether Penix is coming into the season with too much hype.
"Locally and with Falcons fans, for sure. He's got so many things going for him, his general personality and demeanor is perfect for the QB position," says Falcons Insider Joe Patrick. "But if you look at national media they treat him as a pure question-mark, which is not giving him enough credit. There's a lot of optimism because he has all these raw tools, but there's certainly going to be a learning experience for him."
