Actually, TT is Moe. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!

And that’s why I said he’ll be like Kolb or Cassell because he’s closer to them than he is to those other guys. I’m going on what I see in him, not for how many yards he threw for against two of the worst pass defenses of all time the two starts that he got.

He’s a backup caliber QB who’s about to make alot of money, I hardly begrudge him that because I’d get it from some sucer too if I were in the position, but those carrying the flag for him really need to get a grip. He’s not elite in anyway and playing more will only make that painfully obvious.

For Dolphin fans’ hopes, Ireland will sign off on Philbin bringing him in so that he can get canned this time around too, instead of being able to weasel his way into throwing another coach under the bus while he skates.

It’s the same story: Matt Moore, Charlie Whitehurst, Matt Cassell, Kevin Kolb, Bruce Gradkowski, Billy Bollick, Troy Smith, etc. There’s a healthy list of those guys who simply are not NFL caliber starting QBs, but for some inexplicable reason, NFL fans and pundits talk themselves into “maybe this guy in the right system…” If you have to talk yourself into anything about your starting QB, he’s not one.

Matt Flynn is the next beneficiary of this phenomenon.

You’re so clever, but it’s not going to change me being right in 2 or 3 years. Said the same about Kolb and Cassell.

Cardinal fans can’t wait to dump Kolb and ask any Cheif fans if they have any confidence in Cassell taking them anywhere past winning the sorriest division in football, which was the only reason he fraudulently looked good in ’10.

I’m a Real Football Fan because I don’t have the silly player or team allegiances, which obviously seem to cloud your judgement on things. I simply like to see good football, and Matt Flynn is just another backup QB who’ll be elevated into starting for this watered down product of present day NFL QB play because teams are so desperate since there are only about 7 or 8 QBs worth anything playing right now.

I mean, Tim freaking Tebow and T. J. Yates started actual playoff games, at home this past year, lol. Enough said..

The contract could say that Matt could elect to ask the Packers to exit for another team if a) the financial offer from the other team was acceptable to Matt, and b) the other team offered Green Bay at least x draft pick consideration.

Would that kind of contract language work under the CBA? I don’t know.

The benefit to Green Bay is obvious and the risk is low. The benefit to Matt would be, I think, unpressured time to make the best decision on the ID of his next team.

Also, the universe of teams sincerely interested in negotiating with Matt is probably going to increase in size once a few squads that are hoping for a good draft result end up disappointed they couldn’t get “their QB guy” in the draft.

.

Favre, Rodgers, Hassleback, Brunnel. Even Ty Detmer was solid in Philly. Penderson and Nall were the only ones that were marginal.

I think they might know how to identify talent and develop them into starters.

Also that guy, Aaron Brooks, who started for several years for the Saints. He came from Green Bay.

You must be a real football fan, using only part of McCarthy’s quote. Read the rest about practice, meetings etc.

I’ll assume that the football that you’re a real fan of is Midget football.

******************************************
Is she hot?

If TT wants to gamble and franchise tag him it could backfire. The reason I am saying this is because the Kolb trade last year is still on people’s mind. Plus the teams noticed how Dalton and Yates played their rookie years. I would not be surprised if a team decides to pick Tannehil over a pricy Flynn.

Anyway, I wish Flynn the best.

Umm…yeah, you don’t understand the rules.

The 14 mill is what he gets if he plays under the franchise tag in Green Bay. If he is traded, he would work out a long term deal with his new team that would spread the money out.

And a team is not required to give up a first and a third in a TRADE. Only teams that SIGN restricted players are forced to turn over the pick that the original team tendered them at.

The new CBA only calls for a first round pick- the third is no longer included.

So neither the 14M or the first and third rounder have anything to do with him being traded.

Other than that, you’re right on.

Think Moe and Curley.

14 million for 1 year – yeah too much but don’t be surprised if he doesn’t do a 3 year 21 million (over all) kind of deal – incentive laden to the back end of it. Bradford got what 50 mill and he never saw an NFL defense at game speed in his life.

He’ll get more than a 14 million contract EASY.

He’s the #1 FA QB until Peyton’s cut. He’ll demand more money that some will think because he’s more of a sure thing than some college QB who’s NEVER played against top tier talent across the board and NEVER played at NFL speed.

For all the talk about Ried and Philly being a QB factory – their guys play well in Philly and tank elsewhere – GB cranks out guys that PRODUCE elsewhere. People know this. If McCarthy says he’s ready – he’s ready. He has nothing to gain by selling a line of BS.

Or how it takes time to see if a guy is durable enough to handle getting pounded week after week.

Cassel was essentially a proven commodity who got better as a player each week, even though defenses had more game film to scout. He only went for a 2nd round pick. I have to imagine teams are grading him lower than that… if they have any sense.

Favre, Rodgers, Hassleback, Brunnel. Even Ty Detmer was solid in Philly. Penderson and Nall were the only ones that were marginal.

I think they might know how to identify talent and develop them into starters.
