You may want to refresh the MBoard, and read Flynn's fathers quote about what the Dolphin thought of Flynn.
This has nothing to do with aqua and orange glasses. This has to do with common sense. You see this as a game to play, the men you constantly insult have families to feed and a living to make and they do their homework on these players and situations. Now if you want to constantly insult these men, more power to you, but do yourself a favor and use the facts not your opinion as facts to make an argument.
As I've said all along, my opinion is just as valid as yours. The thing is, I know my opinion is opinion, not sure you think your opinion is just an opinion.
They low balled him, because they didn't see him as a franchise QB. They obviously thought he was deserving of competing with Moore, which is why, again, they low balled him. I don't see any other viable reason, based on what has been reported in the papers, and now the quote from Flynn's father.

And I very clearly stated, in the very post you quoted, that my opinion was just that. I just take the blinders off when forming mine.
So they called him in, interviewed him, and gave him a "lowball" offer knowing full well he was going to get starter money somewhere else. Doesn't sound like a waste of time at all. "Hey, we know you're going to get starter money somewhere, but we want to offer you backup money to play for a 6-10 team and compete with another backup for the starting roll. How does that sound Bubba? Your potential head coach didn't think that highly of you, by the way, so it will definitely be a true competition. Oh, and is your mom by any chance a prostitute? Happy St. Patrick's Day!" Oh, that Ireland...
