Michael Penix Jr. is Atlanta’s future and appears to be a great fit for the Falcons. With that said, as soon as Tampa puts away New Orleans on Sunday the Falcons should send Penix to the bench. There is zero reason to risk the quarterback’s health once it is clear the Falcons have fallen out of the playoff race. Already needing a miracle one could make the argument Atlanta would be wise to protect the rookie after the first half.
