Since we are no longer in the running for peyton manning,im pretty sure were gonna make a hard run at matt flynn,i wanna know what makes him so desirable?..besides the obvious knowing joe philibin was his oc for 4 years and he was aaron rodgers backup,what are his pros & cons? and why should i be happy we are pursuing him? Finally,Is he really an upgrade over matt moore,who comes ALOT cheaper?

I'm soooo happy!!!! I can't stand Manning from the first moment, when he hit the NFL. Even if the Pats or Jets were playing against Manning, i cheer for them. Can you imagine, how i feel, when the rumor came up that the old & hurt Manning will maybe a Dolphin?!?

1. If Philbin wants Flynn, he must be good!
2. Rogers predicted, that he will be a Top15-QB. And that doesn't mean, that Flynn won't be better as #15, it says at least #15. Anyway #15 is in a 32-team-league better than average.
3. Flynn is more experience than a rookie-QB.

Give him a chance! I have a very good feeling!!!


 
Matt Flynn Pros and Cons

From Greg Cosell - Matt Flynn and the Art of Quarterbacking
http://nflfilms.nfl.com/2012/02/23/cosell-talks-matt-flynn-and-the-art-of-quarterbacking/
How does this relate to Matt Flynn in 2012? Flynn, at 6-foot-2, does not possess prototypical size. He has above-average arm strength, nothing more. There are power throws he will struggle to make, like deep digs at 18-22 yards, or deep comebacks. In fact, these are not throws you would ask Flynn to make. The bottom line: Flynn is not a top-level passer.

His attributes, based on film breakdown of his two NFL starts, derive from his talent as a timing and rhythm passer who’s decisive with his reads and throws, and has shown good accuracy in the short to intermediate areas. He’s primarily a plant-and-throw quarterback who makes good decisions, and delivers the ball on time. One thing I liked was his pocket movement. He showed the ability to slide and maintain his downfield focus. That’s a far more important trait than running out of the pocket.

Flynn, I believe, can be a successful NFL starter, but — and here’s where the Walsh archetype comes into play — he must be carefully manipulated by the schematics of the passing game, and helped by the play-calling.

Gregg Rosenthal's - Who's In On Matt Flynn

Concerns

The overall numbers from Flynn are outrageous: 908 yards, 8.4 YPA, nine touchdowns, two interceptions, and two fumbles in just two and a half games.

Flynn was promising in his outings, but he wasn’t that good. His arm looks average for an NFL quarterback at best. His deep ball was underthrown a few times. The Patriots did a nice job blitzing him in 2010, and Flynn looked a lot more comfortable out of shotgun in 2011. He occasionally held on to the ball too long.

Add it all up, and I’d easily take Flynn over Kevin Kolb from a year ago. I give Flynn a better chance of developing into a difference-making quarterback than Matt Cassel. Most likely, though, you will need the right situation around Flynn to make it work. But he can be a league average starting quarterback sooner than later, and that has plenty of value.

Peter King's interview with Matt Flynn
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/peter_king/03/13/matt.flynn/index.html

"In the Green Bay offense,'' Flynn said with the tape on pause, "we're what you'd call a 'best-play' team. I've been in the system for four years, and I know how it works. You study during the week and know everything you can possibly know about the defense. You talk to the coaches about what you like and what you don't like. Then, you get in the game, and checks like that come easy. We've worked on plays like that one every day in practice. It's just reaction for me now; I know what to check to. You run the hard count, and you see what they're going to do, and then you just know -- you just know the best play to call.''

If that's all he did in the game, big deal. But we watched his 49 pass drops (44 passes, three sacks, two scrambles), and I was more impressed than I thought I'd be.

Forget the garish numbers, the 480 yards passing and six touchdowns. His decision-making, his confidence, his ability to go no-huddle and call the plays himself (which is what the Green Bay system allows when the quarterback is going no-huddle), and his accuracy ... all of those traits are NFL-starter quality.

He completed three deep balls in the game, two of them thrown perfectly and one slightly underthrown and saved by Jordy Nelson. Does he have the deep arm some pro-style schemes demand? I'm still dubious. But he completed three of the four deep ones he threw in this game -- 36, 40 and 48 yards in the air from the line of scrimmage.

"We're a pretty methodical offense,'' he said. "The home-run shots come when you least expect them.''

I don't get the AJ Feeley feeling from Flynn. I think he will be closer to Schaub, than Feeley.
 
Stop it right now!!! I would advice you to believe in flynn once we get him, because at this pace, someone can really sell you on flynn... but once you're into him... someone's gonna have to sell you on other guy. So think twice before starting to really believe flynn can be it (I hope he is though, i guess... with all i've read).

However IMO i will wait until we get him to convince myslef and do the research to conclude he's the man.
