Staffers with Good Vibes

• Maurile Tremblay: Penix plus Bijan, London, and Pitts under Zac Robinson project a balanced, efficient top-10 offense behind a sturdy line.
• Meng Song: The Falcons got crucified for drafting Michael Penix Jr. as early as they did, but it's turned out to be an astute move thus far.
• Phil Alexander: Michael Penix Jr. can play. This offense should score around 25 points per game and is one to target in fantasy.
• Tipp Major: Zac Robinson is leading the offense in his second year, and he has some exciting weapons at his disposal, including Bijan Robinson. I expect to see plenty of high-scoring matchups within the division in the future.
• Craig Lakins: With several top skill position players and a talented young quarterback, the Falcons appear ready to take a step forward. 
• Hutchinson Brown: The Falcons have a lot of good young skill position players, some key pieces on defense, but their future lies in the arm of Michael Penix Jr.
• Jeff Bell: Michael Penix Jr.'s cameo appearance to close 2024 gave glimpses of the highest quarterback upside play the team has seen since Matt Ryan's prime. 
• Mauricio Gutierrez: The team is full of weapons that will now be led by a young QB who promises to revive the explosiveness of this team.
• Ben Cummins: Michael Penix Jr. is an elite quarterback prospect surrounded by offensive talent. Atlanta's offense will be one of the top storylines of the 2025 season.

Staffers with Neutral Vibes

• Jason Wood: If Michael Penix Jr. performs like a young franchise passer, the vibes will skyrocket, but if he looks like he did late last season, the team will be considering yet another full tear-down and rebuild next offseason. 
• Tripp Brebner: The franchise thinks it has a win-now team, but you have to squint to see it. 
• Kyle Bellefeuil: Michael Penix Jr.'s progression in his second season will define how good things are in Atlanta.
• Julia Papworth: Throw in a dash of hopefulness, and you have the Falcons' vibe for the season. Their breath is held as they watch Michael Penix Jr. attempt to lead the team into the future; otherwise, it's back to the draft board they go.
• David Zacharias: Even with the 6th-easiest strength of schedule, the Falcons are headed for a .500 season.
• Jeff Blaylock: This is a .500 team unless Michael Penix Jr. becomes the player the Falcons imagined him to be when they drafted him eighth overall last year.
• Andy Hicks: This all hinges on how Michael Penix Jr.. plays. Up to his draft slot and the Falcons will be happy. If he struggles, everyone associated suffers.
• Jeff Haseley: They could compete for the NFC South Division title, or they could fall back. Quarterback play is a huge factor in how far they go.
• Colton Dodgson: The offense boasts star power, an effective offensive line, and depth at the skill positions. The defense is still a work in progress. A lot is riding on Michael Penix Jr.'s development in year two. 

Staffers with Bad Vibes

• No one.
