Tua starts Week 1 vs. Steelers but faces competition from Penix; job security depends on performance.

Tua Tagovailoa is the Falcons' starting quarterback for Week 1 against the Steelers, though the source notes this doesn't necessarily mean it's his job to lose. Michael Penix Jr. is expected to take over at some point, and barring extraordinary play from Tua or setbacks for Penix, the source projects Penix could take over as early as Week 4. The source acknowledges that if Tua plays at a high level against Pittsburgh, the Falcons may have difficulty making a change.
