Yet Miami gets all the crap for not getting Flynn :rolleyes2:

Props to Wilson though! Hope he has a successful career

LOL $9 mil for a backup good signing seahawks

 

[Fintastic2124]

dodged a bullet it seems. Some articles on nfl.com were saying Flynn played well in preseason, but Russel was better. I beg to differ. I don't think Flynn has been playing well at all.

Dude, Flynn has played just as good as Tannehill played in his 2 preseason games. It's just that Russell Wilson has balled! Again tonight, his numbers are off the hooks - against the #1's. He looks better than every rookie QB so far, including Andrew Luck.

Russell Wilson named starting qb

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/26/seahawks-name-russell-wilson-starting-quarterback/ lol glad we didn't get flynn

That's one expensive back-up.

I wonder if they would shop Flynn to the division rival Cards for a truckload of pics? I think the Kolb experiment is over.

I could see this kid getting the offensive rookie of the year over Luck.

credit Ireland where credit is due...

 

[Despacio]

Wow.

 

[Hayden Fox]

Score one for Ireland and Philbin...at least they aren't batting .000

 

[Canadianfishfan]

credit Ireland where credit is due...

EXACTLY.. few people mention the deals he was smart enough not to make.

 

[phinatic1399]

well at least the kid has some weapons to throw to, edwards, rice, tate

 

[fakespike]

Typical apologist perspective. Praise Ireland for not signing Flynn yet overlook that we could have drafted Wilson, affording us the ability to draft future All Pro Mike LB Luke Keuchly.
