Kirk Cousins' journey with the Atlanta Falcons had started off on a great note with the team winning four of their initial six games. Then the train began to derail and with just three games to go, the Falcons are at 7-7, having lost four of their last five games. And now head coach Raheem Morris has run out of patience with the veteran QB.
On Tuesday, he announced his "football decision" to bench Kirk Cousins in favor of rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. Most Falcons fans welcomed the move. On Wednesday's episode of the "Kay Adams Show", former New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski sided with HC Morris and said that the decision to bench Cousins was great.
"I think it's a good decision because Kirk Cousins hasn't been playing up to the standards that they need him to play. This is the NFL, the best man plays," Gronk told Adams.
