Why the Atlanta Falcons will choose Kirk Cousins over Justin Fields as their next QB

The Atlanta Falcons will have to debate on who their next quarterback will be, and it may come down to either Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins or Chicago Bears QB Justin Fields. Host Aaron Freeman breaks down why he thinks the logical answer is Cousins over Fields due to the perceived pressure to win, scheme fit, and an overall belief in the player.

Later, he discusses why the Falcons should avoid similar pitfalls of adding either Fields or Cousins as some recent NFC South rivals did. He discusses the parallels between the Falcons trading for Fields and the Carolina Panthers trading for Sam Darnold three years ago and those between signing Cousins and the New Orleans Saints signing Derek Carr last year.

Finally, he looks ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft to discuss a pair of defensive tackles from Texas in Byron Murphy II and T'Vondre Sweat. He breaks down why he thinks Murphy could be a sleeper for the Falcons to take in the first round and how his game mirrors that of Grady Jarrett and why he's not sold on Sweat as anything more than a two-down plugger.
