I don't get the love for Flynn. He put up good numbers in an amazing offense. I think this is a bad deal. If I was them, I would have signed Jason Campbell or Kyle Orton, guys that have actually produced and would have been cheaper while definitely being upgrades over Tavaris Jackson.

I like it. Not a crazy amount of $$ and Pakers coach Mike McCarthy thinks he's the real deal.
Go Seahawks!

this makes more sense than signing a rb to a huge deal coming off a career year, oh wait they already did that. i guess flynn's worth a flier and i find it funny that a few months ago he was the "biggest FA QB" then got totally overshadowed by manning. probably cost him quite a few million in the process too. seattle just doesn't look like a contender to me.

Flynn's deal is better than what Cassell and Kolb got. There is a risk, but not a crazy amount of risk.

wait, i thought charles whitehurst was the qb of the future, what happened there? didnt carrol and the hawks give up like 2 #2s for him? and give him a bunch of money? wtf was that?

Cassell and kolb suck imo. Campbell and orton have produced on terrible teams.

As a Packers fan I think I can say with a certain degree of confidence that he'll be a pretty good one ... maybe not pro-bowl caliber, but Tom Clements appears to have worked his magic with him like he did with Rodgers; retooling his release and his mechanics. He's got moxie, he's tough and I'm kind of sad he's not going to be wearing the Green and Gold anymore.

What FA QB wouldn't get overshadowed by the most significant QB to ever be a FA?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

well at least they got a 2nd string qb this time

 

[bigbailes]

well before manning got hurt flynn was the best option out there, sucks for him that manning went on the market.

Green Bay coach Mike McCcarthy: "Based on what I see in the everyday classroom, practice field, he’s ready. It’s his time to play. And you don’t ever know. You don’t ever know if a backup quarterback can take that next step and go out and play 16 games. I know mentally he’s ready, emotionally he’s definitely ready, but until you play the position and go play those 1,100, 1,200 snaps, that’s when you really find out. And I think Matt’s ready for that.”

Can't be any worse than Jackson and Whitehurst. Those guys were steamping piles of shit.

I saw the title and thought PA had found a loophole and traded Jonny Flynn to his other team as a salary-cap dodge or something.
