let's be honest, there are plenty of good QBs that would be 2nd behind Peyton Manning
Matt Flynn to visit Dolphins
- Thread starter *Demi*God*
- Start date

True but if Flynn really was the one he wouldn't just be a fallback option.
I think a lot of quarterbacks in the NFL would be a second choice to Peyton Manning.
Manning pursuit I believe was being pushed most by Ross.

Unless Ross overruled Philbin, which is the likely scenario.

I sure hope that's the case, and of it isn't we're in a world of Hurt.

He is a very good QB. I would like this pick up. Knows the HC...will be an extension of the HC on the field and understands the system.

Agree. And I feel MUCH better about this signing if we can get him at a reasonable price and not have to break the bank for him.

Nothing is gonna energize the folks down there to spend $$$....

Yea, I hope its not a restrictive Kolb type contract.
Is it just Seattle and us for Flynn? Didn't realize the Browns aren't in...

That first round pick must be on a WR...
Nothing else.

I read somewhere that when the Browns evaluated Flynn, they didn't see any more in him than Colt McCoy... take it for what its worth
I know Moore went 2-1 for the 08 7-9 Panthers, 4-1 when he took over the 4-7 09 Panthers to finish .500. He sucked it up winning only 1 game out of 5 for the 10 Panthers which still represented half their victories in 35% of their starts. Bracket that against an upgraded Carolina team with a fresh coach in 11 where with more resources, Cam Newton started out 1-5 and 2-10. Moore also was one of the more accurate 25 or more yard passers in the league last season. Flynn's arm has been criticised and that was a rap against him coming out of LSU.
Long way to get to the point: Flynn has looked unbelievable, although his first impressive game vs the 10 Pats was less impressive than Moore's 09 win vs Favre's playoff bound Vikes. I'd love to get that guy.. if I was sure he was THAT guy!. But the fact is, Flynn did it as a plug in for an offensive juggernaut who won 78% of their games those 2 seasons of his 2 starts, unlike Moore who generally did more with less, including this past season. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with Flynn if he put up performances like Moore did for a subpar team than his lights out single performance against a porous Detroit D backfield on behalf of a 15-1 unit.
Still if Philbin wants him, I support it, but I still don't know that he's necessarily better than what we've already got.

At 50 mil it was insane to go after Flynn, At 20 mil it's a bargin and will jump start our new offense. The search for our next Marino will be postpond till next year ... again.
