“Flynn = This years Kolb…..”

how many times did kolb impress you when he played for the eagles?

now, how many times did Flynn impress you when he played for the Packers?

Now rethink that comparison, cause it makes as much sense as comparing the eagle’s 2011 linebackers to the Steeler’s Linebackers…

I agree we need to sign Flynn but I think this guy has a little too much hype. He showed potential in those games true. But don’t sleep on my boy Moore. He deserves some credit for what he did last season. Looks like these two in a battle would be a really good camp.

They don’t want Flynn. The fins want asmith11. Cause pm18 is going to sf9ers.

How come people are saying Miami is “cheap.” They only have 5 million or so cap left (not counting what is needed to sign rookies). They are clearly NOT cheap if they have already spent money!

They are being prudent. If they overpaid him, Miami fans would have a coronary. Instead, they are giving themselves a stroke for no reason.

Football fans can be soooooo dumb.

Only miami and seattle want flynn?

Cleveland prefers mccoy to flynn?

Dolphins should forget flynn and draft tannehill who’s 2-0 v. rg3!

Oakland cut half their roster so they can sign Flynn. They are going to trade Palmer to Seattle for 2nd and 3rd round pick plus Tavaris Jackson. You heard it here first. Book it. Mark it down. I have inside information. My cousin’s uncle’s brother’s nephew runs the washing machines at Seattle’s complex.

Matt Moore throws a nice deep ball…. top 3 in the league in “chunk yard plays”

This better happen. The 2012 Dolphins need to go into camp with Matt Flynn, Matt Moore, and a QB we like in the draft. It’s time for us to DEVELOP our own QB’s instead of signing the QB someone else didn’t want. I’ve heard the questions about Flynn and they are warranted. However, I saw him make a lot of big-time throws in those games. That’s potential.

A lot of us are forgetting just how good young Matt Moore looked in the second half of 2011. He and the Fins got better as Fitzpatrick, and Sanchez faded badly down the stretch. Philbin may work miracles with him just like he did with Rodgers and Flynn. Moore is a young stud with talent which just needs to develop, from what I saw. Miami may win by losing the Manning/Flynn Sweepstakes. Manning is about selling season tickets though.

Nice of him to give his former coach a courtesy visit. Seattle had a better record. They are also in the NFC which Flynn has game planned against. They have deep pockets. Hawks also have an established staff and system. Miami is already talking Tebow which is enough to push another QB away.

Its obvious now, Miami has been holding this card the whole time. The Peyton thing was their gem distraction and negotiating tool. They wanted Flynn all along.

Interesting the comments that Flynn grew up playing in Philbin’s offense in Green Bay. In all honesty, Flynn grew up in Mike McCarthy’s offense. It was McCarthy who established the offensive strategy, and called all the plays. Philbin made sure McCarthy’s plans were executed.

Finally! I have to say while watching all the Stories for weeks and the Manning saga, it is nice to see the focus change. Why would Flynn feel slighted because the Fins made an attempt to sign one of the Greats? He knows full well HE is not in that same category. It is a business. That’s it. I tip my hat to Seahawks Fans, they want him too, but not at the expense of crippling their future financing. Atleast they show class in our verbal quips… Something Jets fans can learn from!

Getsome99 and jrcoop are on the money. Only Philbin knows his real value to the new system in Miami. Flynn must decide whether he wants to be successful or not. In the long run, if Flynn can do the job, he will make the money in Miami. If he can’t or is unsure of his talents, then he will push Seattle to the limit and take the money and run.

Perfect day in Seattle today nice and sunny. Just had a baked salmon sandwich in Pikes Market and walked back to work.

Hitting refresh on phone all day for some news on qb’s.

Item number one on that incentive-based contract:
1) Actually beat out Matt Moore in training camp! Seems to be a fair enough request considering he already is familiar with the system, which should give him a huge leg up on Moore-if he can’t do that, he shouldn’t be making crazy cash!

It’s funny how Miami gets all the bad press. The translation of this story is: Seattle low balled me too….
But Seattle won’t get a story about that.

Philbin knows better than anyone what Flynn’s ceiling is. I would think the Dolphins are listening to him. But all you experts know a lot better than I do.

Miami has screwed up the QB position at every possible turn since Marino retired. Why should this year be any different?

By: hamichel

hamichel — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 19:23:36 +0000

People….. a little logic here. Why would the Dolphins offer anything at this point without even having Flynn in town? Jason Cole claims a “source” which is already BS; probably a “hawks” fan on twitter under an assumed name to stir up crap. Also, who determines what “low ball” really is? I would imagine that Philbin knows what Flynn is capable of more than anyone else and if he feels Flynn is a better alternative to what the Phins have now, they will strike a deal and won’t let him leave. chillax…

Sherman is pretty clearly going to be running Philbin’s offense… Ross hired Philbin because of his offensive background. Philbin letting Sherman do whatever he wants with the offense would make zero sense.

You guys do realize that Flynn’s agent was probably the one who had someone leak a story that the Dolphins were low balling him. Fully taking advantage of a team whose name has been under tons of scrutiny these past years.

Tell me you guys aren’t so gullible.

When you watch ESPN and Schefter is getting a text his sources are just using him to again leverage and $$$$$$$$.

No inside scoop just duped.

It seems as if Miami and Seattle are both being prudent with their wallets. We have all seen huge contracts go to unproven quarterbacks over the past few years with poor results for the team. The same fans that are screaming for Seattle or Miami to show their balls and make a deal with Flynn will be the first ones to scream that management was idiotic to sign Flynn if he does not pan out.

I am a Seahawks fan and want an upgrade at quarterback. If Seattle management thinks Flynn is the guy then I am all for it. I hate to wait another year. But if Flynn is not the answer I don’t want them to give him a deal that hamstrings the franchise for the next few years. Think Arizona.

Flynn is a wise man if he chooses to explore all of his options before making a decision.

Let’s face it, until the draft shows up, he’s the most-sought-after talent at the QB position other than Manning, who can only go to one team. He should use that status for all it’s worth.

Once Manning decides, Flynn will be joined by Kolb, Tebow, Hasselbeck, or Smith. Still, there’s no reason for Flynn to hurry….nor is there a reason for a team to offer him a Kolb-sized deal.

Don’t screw this up Miami. Lots of season ticket holders will not renew if you pass on Flynn. He has been the answer since Philbin came to Miami, and you are lucky he is still interested after being put on the back burner for the 36 year old qb that had 4 neck procedures in 19 months. Thank god Manning is not interested (why would he be after you traded away the best receiver…..duh). Sign Flynn to a minimum 3 yr contract, get rid of Ireland, and let Philbin run the show!!!!
