Peter King: Flynn wants to prove small body of work as starter is no fluke

[BAMAPHIN 22]

Flynn just wants to find a home. He's not sure where that'll be. Maybe Miami with his former coach, Philbin. Or Seattle, with the GM, John Schneider, who was in the Packer personnel department when Green Bay drafted him in 2008. But I doubt Flynn will break the bank. This is not the time for him to do that. The time for him to get big money is after he proves he's a top-15 NFL starter in a year or two. If I'm Flynn, I'm looking for an unquestioned starting job now -- even if the money's not the motherlode.Read more: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/peter_king/03/13/matt.flynn/index.html#ixzz1pI47GdNq

He is still going to want starter money..Does Miami feel comfortable giving him that? That was the big road block with the Kyle Orton deal. Does Miami view him as a starter or a guy that has to compete with Matt Moore.

So you're telling me he's going to turn down big money ? LOL

I want him!

Although he has only played two games, he could not have done anymore during those games. Of all the so called QB 'busts' (Jemarcus Russell, Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, David Carr, Joey Harrington) I have never seen any of them look as accomplished in 1 game as Flynn did against the Lions. IMO where most busts fall down, is work ethic or/and a willingess to stand in the pocket without fear. Blaine Gabbert looks like he wants to tuck every time a ball is snapped, I have not seen that from Matt Flynn and rumour is, he is supposed to be superb in film room.

The main knock on him is that he is a 7th round pick, but surely in our division we know that low round picks can become decent starters!
