Matt Flynn

choco

^which would be completely Retarded to do, considering they also have findley to resign....so i guess what youre saying is that they will tender their backup QB to the tune of 14 mil rather than a guy that is top 5 at his position? then on top of that, trade him after a tag means they lose negotiating leverage on a new deal, and would likely be paying a high price which equates to high risk (see matt cassel/chiefs situation a couple years ago).

so nope...its not anywhere near a lock he gets tagged.

1 more season

It doesn't matter cause he isn't going to make it into FA. They are going to franchise tag him and try to trade him for picks.

No way he gets franchised. They probably can't afford to franchise him and at the tune of 14 mil for next yr no one is going to want him.

Pumpkin Eater

yep, cause Aaron Rodgers is only going to be making 8 million.

per Brandt on twitter:

If Matt Flynn received Franchise Tag, would be scheduled to make $14.5 million in 2012. Aaron Rodgers scheduled to make $8 million.

There's no way Green Bay is going to franchise Flynn.

Cleveland needs to get him!

Does the name Scott Mitchell ring a bell with anyone here?

I'm in Camp give Colt one more year I guess and draft some guys who can make plays on offense. If we draft RGIII, I'll own his jersey by opening weekend next season.

Id like to see him play more than two games before betting the bank on him.

They would Franchise him cause it would give them the chance to trade and I don't think that any team would have to pay the tag but instead sign him to their own contract. It's exactly what the Patriots did with Matt Cassel.

What would the trade Value be on Flynn? A third rounder, perhaps?

He made his $$ after he beat us, coming in for Marino. I would rather get someone else, let Washington or Seattle get Flynn.

SuperSteelers

I could pass for 500 yards and 6 TD's with Green Bay's offense. I think you better give McCoy another year because as much as it'd make me puke, he'll make the Browns consistent winners. Your D was 5th in scoring Defense and with some offensive help you guys are looking to a threat every year. WR's are your biggest weakness and should be the focus of your draft. RGIII would make a good wideout, but he'll not go for that, so you need to forget about him.

CantonLegend

god you guys jump ship so quickly

flynn played one game in the 2nd best offense in the league against one of the poorest secondaries in the league

while his performance would be impressive for anyone, its not anything to bank on.

1 game doesnt make a player.....1 season doesnt make a player either

give colt the time he deserves

What are the downsides to getting Flynn? It'll light a fire under Colt's ass to start producing. A pick we don't spend on a QB is a pick we can spend on weapons around him.

It will cost whatever contract he would get, which is sure to be more than that of a rookie draft pick.

miktoxic

yeah and if we did all the BS to get him don't you think we'd start him over colt? so where's that "burning the fire under his ass"?

man everyone just calm down. give colt another year, build up and fill in the rest of the team. if he doesn't produce next year then.....

like i said before, it's not like we're going on a superbowl run or even a playoff run next year. why not take the opportunity to grab 6 players next year. i mean heckert has done good by us so far.

you guys must be a pleasure to watch tv with. don't like the first 5 minutes of a movie so let's pull out the dvd and put another one in. for christ's sake, stop it.

A player can't be traded when he's not under contract. He's just has to sign somewhere, it's called free agency.

DawginIT

Sounds like a familiar story though. Oh wait! Last season Kevin Kolb took over for Vick with electric playmakers and earned himself a contract in Arizona. Then he plays for a team with Larry Fitzgerald and a bunch off plugs and he's garbage. Give Colt weapons, watch him succeed!

DawginIT

Remember last year when Vick got hurt early in the season? Kevin Kolb came in and put up some gaudy numbers for a back-up by playing in an offense with playmakers like DeSean Jackson, Jeremy Maclin, and LeSean McCoy. He earned himself a new contract in Arizona and we all can see he is garbage with Larry Fitzgerald as his lone playmaker. Also, Matt Flynn is not the answer. Does any one remember Matt Flynn as an average QB at LSU? He's throwing to Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson, and Jermichael Finley to put up those numbers.

What am I getting at?

1. Give Colt McCoy some weapons and see what he can do. You'd be amazed.

2. Stay away from Matt Flynn. He's the next Kevin Kolb.

That is all.
