I am not sold on him either, but the double standard is hilarious. when he plays well in green bay it's the system or wide receivers, but when aaron rodgers plays well, it's because he's another franchise qb the fins missed out on. I'm sorry, but healthy or not, I can't see rodgers having the game flynn did against the pats. and sure, they didn't know what to expect since they had such little film on him, but I wouldn't just dismiss him because he's a backup. when rodgers was backing up favre, and never threw a ball, I'm sure we all would have said the same about him.
I am not calling him a system QB however I think the limited success Flynn had is a product of teams not having film on him. So often we see a young QB come in and have success and results, hell it happened with Henne. Then after there is a few games worth of film on them defensive staffs are able to determine their tendencies and comfort zones. That is when you really see potential. Can the QB find ways to make plays outside their comfort zone and expand their knowledge and use of a offensive system. Or do they start to struggle and the team limits the system.
By this many starts young QBs like Rodgers and Ryan had been given keys to the offense. While QBs like Henne and Sanchez have had systems dumbed down for them. So the question becomes which one will Flynn be?
