Matt Flynn
 

I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on bringing in Matt Flynn to be the back-up to the new incoming rookie?

If we get John Dorsey from Green Bay, he may actually value Flynn?

Would giving up a mid round pick and a not to big of a contract be suitable? I think Flynn might work out pretty good in Andy Reid's offense as a vet back-up. Much in the same role he is doing now in Seattle and as he did in Green Bay behind Rogers.

We aren't talking a Matt Cassel situation here in draft pick and contract.

**** Matt Flynn, and **** the dumbshits that think Matt Flynn has any value.

I originally liked this idea....but then again I don't like the idea of giving away a first day pick for someone that's just gonna sit on the bench, because that's what it will take to pry him away from SEA.

What is Flynn's contract in Seattle? Something tells me he won't be worth trading for at all.


Plus, I don't even want him.

I don't get it???? Why wouldn't Seattle just keep him as a backup rather than piss him away for way less than it took to acquire him. We'd have to give up more than a mid rounder to get him and then it'd be Cassel Deja Vu, retread/other team's castoff all over again. Cmon people.

Dorsey drafted him. Guess he might think Flynn has value...

Fair enough but we are going to have to find a vet QB somewhere. Unless you go after a old Matt Hasselbeck, your options are going to be limited for a quality back-up.

Matt Flynn isn't a veteran backup. He's essentially an unproven rookie that we'd have to trade picks to get.

Matt Flynn and Kirk Cousins are not options. AT ALL.

Anyone we "acquire" like this is going to take "starter level" picks to get. Do we really want to go through that AGAIN?????? Gonna have to be a Free Agent and I haven't seen the list yet of FA QB's.

That is why I asked... what are better options? Don't cry about Flynn unless one can give legit back-up options.

Only because of costing draft picks, same with Alex smith. Any three are free on draft picks and cheap on contracts I'd say they could be options.

He was beat by a rookie when all that he had to do was not **** up.

The Minnesota back up






I keed I hope you realize

.

Again I hear crying but no options are being given out...

Rich gannon

Go look at the UFA list for QBs this year, dumbshit.

There is your list of options for vets.

No I gave my option, now I want others options. I was waiting for someone to cry about looking up a f**king list (it isn't pretty)... I've looked at the list and Flynn was my option at a reasonable price. Again what is others back-up QB option?

If Kolb gets cut, I would consider him. At least he knows Reid's playbook.

OMFG NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Flynn at a reasonable price? We'd have to give up AT LEAST a 4th round draft pick. That's not a reasonable price at all for a ****ing backup, much less a backup likely with a sour attitude from being passed over for a starting opportunity for so long.

Matt Moore is a free agent. What's the difference between him and Matt ****ing Flynn?

Matt Moore sucks worse than Flynn!

Dude has one good game against a horrible DET defense, and gets huge contract. Wish life was that easy for the rest of us.

You've done gone full Blackbob. Never go full Blackbob

LMAO

It's a ****ing backup QB :facepalm:

I'd rather keep Quinn or Stanzi as the vet backup and use the pick that we would spend on Flynn on a qb in the draft. Makes more sense to me. Hopefully Geno is the franchise qb we think he is, but having another rookie to develop behind him is more appealing than a qb that just lost his job to a rookie.

It's gonna be awesome as Reid wipes the dumb off this fan bases collective think tank of the quarterback position. It's sickening that some still think about trading for the "Matt Flynns" of the NFL.

False

When did it become a good idea for everybody to name their ****ing kids "Matt"? Good christ there are a ton of Matts out there.

Moore is a pretty good idea. Well done SNR!!!

Yeah, I'd rather have Matt Moore.

Not sure of Flynns contract but I know he was paid to be a starter, he may just get cut.
Same situation with Alex Smith, it may not take draft picks to obtain either.

End thread please.


No to Moore, Flynn, Smith, Vick, or any other worthless backup QB. They're backups for a reason.

Uh, No.

Matt Moore would be a terrific backup if Andy Reid doesn't believe in Stanzi.

I'd take Moore as a back-up.

You have to actually play to be a vet backup. Stanzi doesn't qualify.

If you blame Scott Pioli for trading for Matt Cassel, then you have to be opposed to this.

I'd take him if they cut him. I wouldn't give up shit or pay him what he makes now. He's going to sit in Seattle and be a highly paid backup.

Not to be the starter, but as a backup. And someone who could help along the learning of Reid's playbook. He played respectably when necessary for Reid.

Kolb at backup - maybe. Let's pray that our starter doesn't get injured.

Kolb isn't gonna be cut from Arizona. He played pretty well last year...and Bidwell said he isn't ready to give up on him yet.

I wouldn't trade for him, either.

Just let Reid draft 2.

Unless Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or Aaron Rodgers is available for trade then **** off with these crazy ideas. I'd rather draft a bust at #1 and have to do it all over again 3 yrs later than to grab some no talent assclown like Matt Cassel again.

Why do people keep bringing this up.

ONE, he is under contract
TWO its a HUGE contract
THREE he ****ing sucks. Get the **** over it.

/end of discussion.

David carr is ready to start again

See that list, ChiefMojo?

Draft 2 QBs. Sign one of those guys. Keep Stanzi. Keep the best 3 after preseason.

Mission accomplished. No draft picks were wasted on tards like Matt Flynn in the making of this QB depth chart

This....

I can certainly give Reid the benefit of the doubt. The 99 draft was considered at the time a very strong QB draft. 5 QBs went in the top 12. Reid chose the best one out of Akili Smith, Dante Culpepper, Cade McNown, and McNabb. McNabb was selected after Tim Couch.

No thanks to Matt Flynn, I would like to stay away from anyone named Matt or anyone who is #7

What his contract is not huge at all.
He got a 3 yr 19.5 mil contract. Flynn reportedly received a $6 million signing bonus. He will make $2 million in salary in 2012. In 2013, he can make $5.25 million, but only $2 million is guaranteed.

Reid does not play rookie QB's unless he is forced by injury or feels the OL is ready to protect him. He sacrificed an entire season of McNabb starting Doug Peterson an entire season instead because he didn't feel it put McNabb in the best position to succeed.

Very strong possibility that whoever is drafted may sit a year while Reid feels out the team.

Seems well thought out, and not at all ignorant.

Flacco will be tagged, no doubt.

Drew Stanton

YES!!!

True, but that was back when sitting rookies was the thing to do. It's a different game today and guys are coming into the league ready to play and better than ever.

Could Matt Flynn fit in Kansas City?

By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com

This is If season.

It’s all about if this step happens, perhaps that step will be made. So, let’s play that game with the Kansas City Chiefs.


Green Bay executive John Dorsey is considered a heavy favorite to land in Kansas City as the general manager. New head coach Andy Reid has control of the franchise, but he needs a right-hand man. Dorsey is respected, and Reid and Dorsey are very close from their days in Green Bay together.

The first task of the Chiefs’ brass will be to figure what to do at quarterback. There will be several options. One could be former Green Bay backup Matt Flynn. He is now in Seattle. The Seahawks paid handsomely to make Flynn their potential starter last year. But they struck draft gold in the form of Russell Wilson.

Flynn could be available. Flynn was well respected and well thought of in Green Bay. If Dorsey is among his fan club, there could be a nice connection. Reid’s roots are in Green Bay, and he’d likely have little trouble taking on a quarterback from the Packers’ tree.

The key would be to not pay too much for Flynn in the form of a draft pick. I think he’d be worth a conditional mid-round pick, because there are no guarantees he will be the starter. Also, his contract might have be adjusted to some conditions.

But if those two areas were worked out, I think Flynn could be an interesting fit for the new Chiefs. I could see maybe combining Flynn and taking a quarterback such as Landry Jones or Matt Barkley or a Mike Glennon or Geno Smith (if they were available) early in the second round.

The Chiefs could let the two players compete. If one is great, then they have their answer for years to come. If not, Flynn would at least be serviceable for the short term. Then, the Chiefs can continue their search later.

There are no other clear answers this year. The Chief are going to have to take a chance and hope for the best.

If Reid and Dorsey think Flynn is the answer, he might be as good as any avenue to pursue.

Flynn will cost around $7 million in 2013 and $8 million in 2014 so Seattle could keep him but does it create a problem when you are paying your backup QB a lot more than the starter.

And you have to give up something for him? This dude hasn't even proven he can play!! Bad.Idea. KC fans should forget shit ideas like this.

He was a 7th round pick.

He made the team because other than Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, they had no other QBs.

After sitting on the bench for 5 years, he had one good game against a crappy defense.

He is a scrub.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I firmly believe that the only qualifications required to be a sports journalist is the ability to string two words together.

I bet we hear more of this as the offseason progresses. Especially because Flynn will have ties to the Packers, and the narrative continues where pretty much everyone believes there aren't any QBs worth drafting #1 in this draft.

They would expect to get a starter with the draft pick that they get in return for a bench player on their team.

I don't really want Flynn. But if we were to make a trade for him he would not be our backup. He would start at least the first year. Reid will not play rookie QBs.

People keep saying this, but all they have to base this on is Donavan McNabb, who really wasn't ready to start from day one.

That's not what Andy Reid believes IMO. He's old school in his thinking.

Reid has shown a propensity to not play rookie players at key positions. And has mentioned as much during interviews and press conferences in the past.

Came up in another thread... Matt Hasselbeck

I don't know what it would take to get him, but it's the perfect fit. Reid connections. Post-season/super bowl experience. Too old to be a long term threat to the position.

Just the kind of guy you want around your rookie QBOTF.

True Fan will love the Matt Flynn acquisition

Sound familiar?

I've seen it all over this board now, and this is one vet consideration I can get behind.

This. Go back to Facebook and never come back.

This.

It all depends on what Reid thinks of the roster. Does he believe the O-Line is ready to protect a rookie. He has said time and time again that he won't allow a rookie QB to start unless he feels good about the talent around him.

McNabb was easily the most talented QB on the roster in Philly when he was drafted. However, Reid quickly killed any hope of him starting as a rookie....Starting Doug Peterson instead. He threw away that year before it ever started. But, he felt it was best in the long run.

For those who are calling for him, him being a starter is much worse.

http://allsportcrossfit.com/wp-conte.../07/mugatu.jpg

McNabb was easily the most talented, but he was also a dumb shit.

He wasn't ready to start because he needed at least that first season to even begin to digest the complexities of an NFL playbook.

Care to tell me how Matt Flynn is worse than Doug Peterson as your starter for a year?
