- alex smith quarter back
lmao! i think ive heard it all now. today ive heard people compare flynn to rodgers and brady and now..... brees. could some please let me know where , when and what they have seen out of flynn to warrant these types of claims. i mean cmon, there is nothing to go by , what are you guys looking at? his stubbly beard, twinkle in his eye, the way he dresses? what are you guys seeing that i am not?
Part of the appeal with Flynn was the hidden potential because of his limited exposure. Alex Smith is a very known quantity. No NFL bust has ever gotten as many chances as he has. You'd rather shoot for a wildcard than settle for someone you know is not good enough. Not to mention Flynn's contract with Seattle is perfect. You pay him to be a starter which he has to be, but if he busts you haven't committed that much money to him and can get out of it easily.

Who the heck cares what the annual money is anyways? The guarantee will be like 10 million and that's on Ross not our salary cap. If he flops and we end up with the first pick we waive his ass. End of story.
Flynn signed for 3 years at $26M. You should check your math.

If they do this, its to buy Philbin another year in searching for a QB.....in other words, we're not getting our future QB this off-season folks
My fault OP, more irresponsible journalism by the media. On what planet is Matt Moore more athletic than Alex Smith.
I completely agree with you. Smith is only 27 and was not a number one pick for no reason. He is mobile and I think will look great in the right system ie harbaugh . I honestly would rather have smith than flynn at the right price of course

exactly what I thought reading the quote. if Flynn gets $8.67 million per year, Alex Smith is definitely worth $8 million
I seem to recall the standard opinion on here (and nationally) was that if Philbin doesn't want Flynn it would be very telling. Now, we don't sign him and all of sudden we missed out on a franchise QB.
The Seattle fans should be the people questioning what they have with Philbin passing, and yes, I believe we passed, especially knowing the numbers he signed for with Seattle.
The theme on here of whatever move we make is the wrong one is getting VERY tired.

Call me crazy but I think having Moore and Smith as our QB's is better than our current QB situation. I mean who is our other QB besides Moore? I don't even know is it still Losman? Plus Smith's numbers last year we're almost close to Penny's numbers when we won our division. And Smith went to the NFC championship. I won't mind Smith on our team.

That is merely a rotoworld quote, verbatim. It was not his opinion.
Moore signed for $19 million. The other 5 are incentives in his deal. 2 million is included as not likely to be earned incentives to get to $26 million report.

I'll take a QB that has won in the playoffs over Flynn or any of the guys that will be available to us in the draft this year. He finished the season with 7 straight games with no ints. He didn't throw 2 picks in a game all season. Take away the two punt return fumbles and he would've been playing in the superbowl. He's still young and he has a lot of upside. His confidence is at an all time high and I wouldn't be surprised if he had a breakout year next season. All that being said, he'll probably resign with the niners unless they get Peyton.
The Dolphins brought him in, interviewed him, went through the paces. It's not like Philbin had never met the guy before and decided after interviewing that he'd pass. It doesn't seem the Dolphins passed. The contract Flynn wound up signing is pretty ideal for someone you're taking a chance on. Incentive laden with low guaranteed money. Don't know how much better the Dolphins could realistically have expected it to be. You have to at least consider the possibility that Flynn chose the ****ing Seahawks over us.
