Merged: Matt Flynn to Seattle

Looks like Flynn price didn't get lower because of "Diva" Manning. I'm reall confused about what we're doing here... I can only hope Ireland isn't in the same state....
 
I am so ****ing confused right now. So now we are down to overpaying Alex Smith, signing a has-been in David Garrard, sticking with Matt Moore, or trading a bunch of draft picks to move up and get a QB that needs 2 years to develop in Tannehill. Dammit!
 
The rationalizing on this thread is sad. "Obviously Philbin didn't want Flynn." Really? Does everyone think that Philbin and the Dolphins didn't discuss Flynn during the interview process when Philbin was hired? If Philbin told the Dolphins at that point that Flynn was not a viable QB, why would they have bothered bringing Flynn in for a visit? Just to waste time? Why wouldn't they have shifted focus from Manning directly to Alex Smith? It is obvious that Philbin and the Dolphins were interested in Flynn. It's also obvious they gambled on getting him cheap, and lost. The contract he signed with Seattle is completely reasonable and much lower than all the speculation before free agency opened. Bottom line, Seattle got a potential starting QB for $10M guaranteed, and Miami just paid a nickel CB/FS $6M guaranteed...and still doesnt' have a starting QB.

This team is so far gone, it won't be coming back any time soon. An absolute disgrace.

It amazes me how there are still a few people on here who give this guy the benefit of the doubt. It could mean guys come in and just aren't impressed with the guy. I bet his approach is like " what can we do for u". Instead of hey we really like u. You will help our the greatly.
 
Not bad!?!?!?!? Thats about 9 mil a year people no effing way i pay him that much

These are my sentiments as well.
 
This doesn't mean Philbin didn't feel Flynn was worth it, this just means that Ireland didn't believe Flynn was worth the amount he signed for.

How could any rationale person think that if Flynn was better than what we have or better than what we could get in the draft. This FO, particularly this FO would let him walk? Ridiculous, this fan-base is whats embarrassing, stop being emotional little b$%^$es and use your heads for once.

Just think about this rationally for a second.
Flynn WANTED to go to Miami. Everyone in his camp from his GF to his dad were saying that Miami had the inside track.
He went to Miami second and was in Davie. They could have signed him and opted to work out Alex Smith instead.
If Flynn was really the guy they wanted an not just a stop gap then they would have signed him there is too much to lose.

It is obvious that they believed that Smith was a better option.
