Buck Belue believes Michael Penix Jr.’s opportunity to become the Atlanta Falcons’ franchise quarterback may already be over.

On Buck’s Beat, Buck reacts to Cooper Rush’s brutal performance against the Steelers, questions Penix’s continued absence and examines Atlanta’s disastrous quarterback situation ahead of its home opener against the Carolina Panthers.

Could the Falcons be headed toward a 2–15 season—and a complete quarterback reset in the 2027 NFL Draft? Buck discusses Arch Manning, Dante Moore, C.J. Carr, Darian Mensah, Julian Sayin and the possibility of Atlanta tanking for its next franchise quarterback.
