Guess how old Flynn was when this happened.

Try 0!!!!!

He wasn’t born yet.

As in it’s so old no one cares!

To say that you’re a moron would be to kind. No football history? Are fcking kidding me? The first team to win back to back championships, let alone first team to go to 3 consecutive superbowls? Don’t be so ignorant…

Theawkyardyears,
I hope somebody mocks you and pokes fun of you during the darkest part of your life so you can see how it feels. I will be right there pointing and laughing with everybody else as you try to deal with losing the most important part of your life. Your screen name fits you perfectly. I’m sure you’ve blown plenty of chances at normal social interaction with awkward comments like that. I’m sure you probably have had more than just awkward years. More like an awkward life time. No matter though. I’m sure your used to social interaction limited exclusively to a keyboard and computer screen.

He’s in Seattle because everyone, except our clueless owner, knows Jeff Ireland is the worst GM in all of sports! I feel bad for Joe having to work under Ireland & Ross, he deserves better!

Matt Flynn got a better offer from the desperate Seahawks. I didn’t know that he was a sure bet to be a great quarterback. I guess we’ll find out.

Philbin is about as useless as a poopy flavored lollipop.

I do not agree with your sentiment, but thumbs up anyway for the Dodgeball reference……..

I don’t understand the hatred towards Miami is the media, Fisrt of all thats what is steering players away from Miami is the media…
If I was Flynn I would of chose to play in Miamai over Seattle any day.
Miami has a top 5 Defense, Good weather and Seatlle just Blows! The team stinks the weather stinks everything about playing for SEattle stinks..
Your coach is a bust, Its very easy to be a good college Coach when you get all the best players.
I will bet anybody that Miami will have a better record this year than Seattle even with Dolphins having to play a much harder the divison

Pretty soon we’ll have Seahawk fans telling us the 49ers and Steelers don’t have histories.

—————————————————

This is one Seahawk Fan that does recognize some of the greatness of the past teams you guys enjoyed. In fact, there has even been some recent success. For that congratulations.

What does that have to do with Flynn wanting to go to Seattle over Miami? Fact is he picked Seattle and until we see how he turns out this coming season and beyond we all won’t know if it was a good thing for the Hawks or Fins……….My money is on the Hawks!

From a Miami Dolphin Fan…. errr… Seattle is better than my Dolphins right now for several reasons.
1) More cap space – can build better roster going forward
2) Solid Run Game – Marshawn Lynch
3) Two young Tackles – LT and RT!
4) WRs – Rice, Williams, Tate
5) Better TE
6) Defensive front 4 is solid

They need help at LB and secondary, but they are young and have cap space. The Dolphins are older and have less cap space.

Good Decision Flynn.

Philbin is just being realistic. The “perception” of the Dolphins is being exaggerated. Philbin understands there are many factors in the choice, and I still like Moore.

I love the Seattle fan a few posts ago talking smack. How many superbowls have you won again? Wait that is zero. Seattle might give Cleveland a run for it’s money for not winning anything. Between the Sonics(now the Thunder), the Mariners, and the Seahawks you have 1 championship. 3 sports 1 championship. At least the Brown won a few NFL championships before the merger. The Dolphins may very well be irrelevant now but the Seahawks are no better.

Maybe he feels it would be easier to beat out T-Jack for the starting job than it would be to beat out Matt Moore?

Miami having a great history doesnt mean they are run well under it’s current ownership. Seahawks fans aren’t protesting their owner and asking for their GM to be fired so I don’t even see how Dolphin fans can defend their organization. Must be in denial and no one cares what your team did in the 70s.

Remember the Dolphins passed on Drew Brees because their doctors advised against it yet traded for injured Dante Culpepper. So now they’d rather pay injured Garrard $3.5 million for one year rather than spend $19 million over 3 years on Flynn who’s salary is $2 million next year?

I knew the undefeated chants would come up. You puppets! Seattle is one of the winningest franchise in the past 12 years. We are closer to a winning team than Miami will ever be again. Dolphins! Lol!!!
When huge FA are signing with Buffalo and not Miami. You have a real problem. At least you get to “pop the cork” one a year. 17-0 hello NE patriots own you and your so called record!! Phons, lmfao!!

Because facing Tom Brady twice a year or facing Alex Smith/Kevin Kolb/Sam Bradford is a no-brainer.

Matt Moore might be a lot better than people think if Philbin coaches him up…already rumors that Flynn doesnt drive the ball on deeper routes.

Eveyone needs to leave Mike Brown alone the Bengals in no way shape or form have the worst management around as long as Miami has the Dolphins & Detroit has the Lions…. Oh dont forget the Cowboys too

Philbin told Flynn he was like a son to him. Flynn quickly realized that Philbin lets his kids drown and decided to go to Seattle.

juliusanonymous, oh I forgot the rich history of the Seattle Seahawks, oh wait let me rephrase that the few bright spots in a otherwise mediocore at best franchise. An upset win against the Saints last season that really did not matter after they got smoked by the Bears in the divisional round. A Super Bowl apperance in a weak NFC, I can still hear the Seahawks fans crying about the refs. Other then that they have shown the NFL they were a force to be reckon with haha get real. Atleast Dolphin fans are realistic about there franchise, you are just delusional about yours. Oh I forgot remind me what happened in 1984 when they once again played then in the playoffs. Yea they got stomped. I’ll take having the opportunity of watching Dan Marino his whole career then watching the mediocore Seahawks any day. Someone needs to get real about there franchise before they bash another.

“Maybe Flynn learned that way back when Miami was still relevant (way way back in 1983), they got their butts kicked in the playoffs by the Seahawks.”

Yeah, I’d brag that up too. Considering its about the only thing Seattle has ever done…in their entire pathetic history.

Oh, yeah, they yakked up the dullest Super Bowl even played. Guess there’s that.

But hey…at least they have the next Dan McGwire.

With your prurient sanctimonious little vendetta against the dolphins you really have managed to seek out football’s intelligentsia. I think you owe it to your followers to let them know when the collective iq reaches 87.

Gotta feel sorry for Philbin. He’s had a rough year. First losing his son, and now stuck in a bad situation in Miami with a bad owner and GM. I’m afraid they are betting everything on Mike Sherman’s opinion on an unprroven Tannehill is the answer. They had better hope some other team doesn’t move up and take him before Miami’s pick.

I really hope flynn gets his big money that means all of his INCENTIVES are reached and the hawks are back atop the division with Beast Mode & their top ranked defense!! all they needed was a qb, and Flynn was smart enough to see that…..If not no loss but 4 mil! and draft one next year cause Tannehill is garbage! Only a year and a half experience in college with a big 7-6 record last year! at least Flynn won a championship @LSU

So neither the Seahawks or the Dolphins chose to overpay Flynn. The only difference is the Seahawks got a young quarterback with upside out of it. The Dolphins got nothing.

The Hawks came out as winners. Flynn flew to Miami not because he was intent on playing for Miami given everything else equal. He flew there to check it out, just like he did Seattle (note Seattle did not even make an offer until after he visited Miami, reportedly). Seattle simply has a better team and front office right now. Just ask Matt Flynn.
