Welcome to Atlanta - Mike Penix Jr!

Kirk Cousins is coming off an injury and we don’t have a solid number 2 QB on the team. Heineke has only 1 year left on his contract. Outside of Penix’s injuries from 2018-2021, he’s a top 5 pick in this years draft. Statistically, he has the most yards and attempts in CFP in 2022 and 2023. (Best since Mahommes in 2015-2016). He was also runner up for the Heisman trophy. If the Caleb hadn’t won last year and Jayden this year, they probably wouldn’t have been drafted higher. (No shade to those guys) Also, Heisman winners haven’t guaranteed winning seasons or championships in the NFL. (Mariota)

Penix Jr. has proven that the ACL is fully healed and that he can produce at high levels post surgery. Cousins has not.

Considering Cousin is only on a 4 year contract and aging out (36 years old), this pick represents a “best available” player and allows us to have someone in place to learn the new system with a very high upside.

Cousins was the best QB available in free agency this year. The decision to acquire was made with that in mind. Penix Jr. in the draft fell into our lap as “arguably”one of best QBs in CFP.

Also, his age (2-3 year older than the other drafted QBs) does not equate to longevity against players who will not sit behind another QB. Think mileage on a car that’s only driven locally and on weekends. The sooner these guys are on the field the soooner they begin their “wear and tear”.

Just my opinion…

I was surprised by this pick as much as everyone else. I just spent the last 3 hours researching it myself, to better understand why that was the best choice for Raheem, Terry, and the rest of the front office. I’m comfortable saying this was a very good pick. It’s ok if you disagree, drop it in the comments.

As the possible No. 1 pick in this year's draft, Caleb Williams has already drawn lofty comparisons before playing an NFL snap. Some pundits have aggressively likened the USC quarterback's skills to Patrick Mahomes. Speaking to CBS Sports, Williams called it "really cool" to get mentioned in the same breath as the Kansas City Chiefs star. He's not shying away from the elevated bar.

Williams has been likened to Mahomes for his strong arm, athleticism, and improvisational traits. Plenty of scouts see the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner as a generational talent. He handled the Mahomes comparisons differently over the summer.

The Chicago Bears infamously drafted Mitchell Trubisky over Mahomes in 2017, so fans may be sensitive about hearing that name with the team unofficially on the clock. Chicago again must decide whether to use the No. 1 pick on a new franchise signal-caller or stick with Justin Fields. All the hype around Williams could make it for the Bears to risk passing on another star quarterback.

Mark Zuckerberg laid out Meta's game plan for "playing to win" against Alphabet and Microsoft in the high-stakes AI arms race. Meta's secret weapon: its walled garden of data.

Beyond the generative AI technology that Meta already offers in its battle against the other Big Tech powers (including Apple, which teased on its earnings call Thursday that it would launch a generative AI product later this year), Zuckerberg is aiming for “general intelligence,” the still unproven concept of a general purpose AI that can handle most tasks better than humans.

The company suggested this could be the new normal, noting that “we expect our ambitious long-term AI research and product development efforts will require growing infrastructure investments beyond this year.”

It’s probably no coincidence that Meta announced its first-ever cash dividend to investors on Thursday. The new 50-cent quarterly dividend ignited Meta’s stock, which shot up 14.5% in after-hours trading. Zuckerberg initially unveiled his vision for artificial general intelligence last month in an Instagram Reels video. On Thursday, he expanded on the plan, describing it as not just a far-off science project but an effort that will incorporate AGI into Meta products like Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp.

To realize his vision of Meta as the AI leader, Zuckerberg has yet to expand on how exactly Meta user activity will be used as training data for Meta’s AI and how the company will navigate the potential issues around user privacy. And it remains to be seen whether Zuckerberg’s confidence in the value of Meta’s training data compared to the vast corpus of web data used by Google is as big of an advantage as he believes. Google has the data treasure trove of YouTube, Google Office, and its search engine. Still, Google AI is close-sourced, so as fast as engineering talent, whereas Zuckerberg pointed to his company’s open-source Llama model as another advantage.

Earnings aside, this has been a big week for Meta’s head honcho. Yesterday, Zuckerberg was skewered during a U.S. Senate hearing where he, most notably, stood up and apologized to families whose children died from harm inflicted by social media. (Though he did not agree to compensate the families for what they suffered at Senator Hawley’s request.) While the apology may have been wrenching for Zuckerberg, his net worth rose by $1.6 billion (per Forbes) on Thursday with Meta’s stock performance.

Jayden Daniels: 2023 Heisman Trophy Winner

Senior quarterback Jayden Daniels from Louisiana State University was announced as the 89th winner of the Heisman Memorial Trophy during ESPN’s 2023 Heisman Trophy Ceremony Presented by Nissan on Saturday (Dec. 9), originating from Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, N.Y.

Fellow Heisman finalists quarterback Michael Penix Jr. of Washington, quarterback Bo Nix of Oregon and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. of Ohio State finished second, third and fourth, respectively, in the Heisman balloting.

Daniels is LSU’s third Heisman winner as he joins Joe Burrow (2019) and Billy Cannon (1959) among Tigers to hoist the bronze statue. He is also the 20th quarterback in the last 23 years to win the award and the 39th quarterback overall.

The 6-foot-4 Daniels, born in San Bernardino Calif., completed 236-of-327 passes for 3,812 yards and 40 touchdowns with just four interceptions while also rushing for 1,134 yards and another 10 scores.

He leads the nation in total offense (4,946), TDs responsible for (50), passer rating (208.0, currently above the NCAA record), yards per pass attempt (11.7) and rushing yards by a quarterback (1,134) while his 40 TD passes are tied for first.

Daniels earlier this week was named the 2023 AP Player of the Year in addition to winning the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, Davey O’Brien National Quarterback and Walter Camp Player of the Year Awards. He is also a five-time SEC Offensive Player of the Week winner this season.

He became the first player in FBS history to rush for 200 yards and pass for 350 yards in a game when he did it against Florida on Nov. 11, collecting 372 yards through the air and 234 on the ground. The 606 total yards broke the SEC record. Daniels joined Heisman winner Johnny Manziel as the only other player in SEC history to pass for 3,500 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in a season and is the eighth player to do it overall.

Daniels’ passer rating of 208.01 is a Heisman best and his 4,946 total yards is tied for the third-most by a Heisman winner, matching 2018 winner Kyler Murray’s total. His 50 total touchdowns are the seventh most in Heisman history and his 3,812 passing yards is 12th most.

Daniels is the fifth player in the last seven years who won the award after transferring and he is the first Heisman winner born in California since Matt Leinart won it in 2004. Despite the drought, California has still produced 14 Heisman winners, more than any other state.

He is just the third senior to win the award since 2006, the other two including Burrow (2019) and DeVonta Smith (2020). Daniels, the first Heisman winner coached by Brian Kelly, is the 34th winner from the SEC.

Penix Jr. is Washington’s highest finisher ever in Heisman balloting, topping defensive tackle Steve Emtman’s fourth-place finish in 1991. Nix is Oregon’s highest finisher since Marcus Mariota won the award in 2014. Harrison Jr. is Ohio State’s highest finisher since C.J. Stroud was third in 2022.

The 2023 Heisman Trophy ballots went out to 928 electors, which includes 870 members of the media, our 57 living Heisman winners and one overall fan vote presented by Nissan, premier partner of the Heisman Trophy. All ballots were submitted electronically to the independent accountants at Deloitte.

quarterback Caleb Williams on mental health

A powerful moment. The Heisman Trophy winner 2022 was devastated after a 52–42 loss. He went directly to the stands to sob in his mother’s arms. Asked about his reaction after the Washington loss, Williams said it’s important to be himself.  “I’ve been an advocate for mental health, trying to show your emotions and express yourself, things like that,” Williams said to the Orange County…

Caleb Williams: 2022 Heisman Trophy Winner

Sophomore quarterback Caleb Williams from the University of Southern California was announced as the 88th winner of the Heisman Memorial Trophy during ESPN’s 2022 Heisman Trophy Ceremony Presented by Nissan on Saturday (Dec. 10), originating from Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York, N.Y.

Williams, joined in New York tonight by fellow finalists Stetson Bennett of Georgia, Max Duggan of TCU and C.J. Stroud of Ohio State, is now USC’s seventh Heisman winner and the second straight sophomore to win the award following Alabama’s Bryce Young in 2021.

“To the men standing behind me, thank you for your passion to the game,” said Williams before hoisting his trophy. “Because kids like me have dreams and goals of being the best from watching you all.

USC’s previous winners include Matt Leinart (2004), Carson Palmer (2002), Marcus Allen (1981), Charles White (1979), O.J., Simpson (1968) and Mike Garrett (1965).

He is the sixth sophomore to win the Heisman, the 19th quarterback in the last 22 years to win the Heisman and the 38th quarterback overall.

This marks the third Heisman winner to play for USC Head Coach Lincoln Riley, who was the head coach at Oklahoma when Baker Mayfield (2017) and Kyler Murray (2018) became Heisman winners.

The 6-foot-1 Williams, who was named the 2022 AP Player of the Year in addition to winning the Maxwell and Walter Camp Awards earlier this week, has thrown for 4,075 yards on 296-of-448 passing (66.1%) with a national co-leading 37 touchdown passes against just four interceptions. His passing yards is fourth-most nationally, his quarterback rating (167.94) is fifth-best and his passing yards per game (313.5) is sixth-best.

Williams, who led USC to an 11-2 season after the Trojans went 4-8 in 2021, is third nationally in total offense with 4,447 yards with a total that broke USC’s school record (4,225, 2017). He has also rushed for 372 yards (the most at USC in at least 70 years) on 109 carries with a team-best 10 TDs.

Williams’ 47 total touchdowns lead the country, as do his 282 points responsible for while his total touchdowns are a school record. He threw for over 300 yards seven times, including twice over 400 yards.

Williams’ passing yards (4,075) is the eighth-most among Heisman winners, his 47 total touchdowns (49) are ninth most, his total offense (4,447) and quarterback rating (167.94) are 11th-most in Heisman history.

Williams is the second Heisman winner to wear No. 13 and the first since Miami winner Gino Torretta in 1992.

The 2022 Heisman Trophy ballots went out to 929 electors, which includes 870 members of the media, our 58 living Heisman winners and one overall fan vote presented by Nissan, premier partner of the Heisman Trophy.
