From the article

The return of Penix also means someone competent will be under center to get the ball to do-it-all running back Bijan Robinson, as well as wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts. Atlanta has a dismal 23.1% third-down conversion rate so far, but I'm expecting we'll see this number will start to improve with No. 9 back calling the shots.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Penix's return should improve Falcons' third-down conversion rate and offensive efficiency.

Penix returns from a torn left ACL suffered in Week 11 last season to make his first start of the season. His return means a competent quarterback will be under center to get the ball to Atlanta's skill players, and the Falcons' dismal 23.1% third-down conversion rate is expected to improve with Penix back calling the shots.
