Hazed and Amuzed Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah and he got beat out by a 3rd round rookie. Trading for Flynn=The Rob Johnson trade IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah and he got beat out by a 3rd round rookie. Trading for Flynn=The Rob Johnson trade IMO This!! A million times this!! If he couldnt beat out a 3rd round rookie, after the team just invested in him, why would we trade for him instead of picking our own rookie?

Maury Ballstein Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 sounds like 3 sucky qb's its kinda like who would win the bikini competition between Rosanne Barr, Rosie O Donnell, or Hillary Clinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judman Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I just watched the last season's DET/GB game rewind on NFLN this past weekend. I'll admit, the thought crossed my mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pondslider Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah and he got beat out by a 3rd round rookie. Trading for Flynn=The Rob Johnson trade IMO How is it Rob Johnson? He's not going to cost a 1st and a 4th and the Bills wouldn't have to immediately sign him to a big contract before he played a down. If Seattle wants to get rid of him he's not going to cost that much. It's possible Seattle has confidence in him as a backup though and wants to keep him.

shrader Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 They had him in and throwing during garbage time of the 58-0 game this weekend didn't they? Sounds like a showcasing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a RJ scenario to me because the guy is a legend off of a one game performance. No one would give a damn about a Matt Flynn if he hadn't had such a great game that ONE time.

Pondslider Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 He's not a legend. You're not giving up that much for him and hopefully he'd be brought in to compete against either another veteran free agent or a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sweet. Let's get another team's trash. He was basically Trent Dilfer in college. Here's an idea: no more retread coaches or QBs. Let's move up in the draft to get a legit 1st round talent (Smith or Barkley) and get an up and coming coach (David Shaw). Might not work but at least it would be an original move for this team.

Trent Dilfer was like the 6th overall pick in the draft and Matt Flynn was like a 6th round pick (you'd have do double check those, but I'm usually pretty accurate). So it's really nothing like that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Pro_Bills Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) The book of work on Flynn is pretty light given how few games he's played. He parlayed a 'showcase' performance with the Packers into a free agent contract during the offseason but now finds himself on the bench in favor of a rookie 3rd round pick. I would prefer the Bills 'find' their own franchise QB through the draft rather than sift over the scraps that other teams throw out there. Getting a guy that everybody else would want vs. a guy that nobody else wants would be a nice change of pace. IMO, they need to go into the draft next April with the intent and purpose of resolving the lack of production from the QB position and make it a strength rather than a weakness and restraining factor for the team. We've seen enough of this recycled leftovers from other teams routine since the Kelly era ended to know it is not likely to solve the problem here. And this management team has not instilled a lot of confidence in their ability to evaluate pro-level free agent talent on a consistent basis when pursuing and signing free agents or making trades. For example - the T. Jackson trade, while only costing a 7th rounder, made absolutely no sense given the fact the guy has not seen the field at all this season. Probably could have picked him up on waivers or free agency for nothing after March 1st next year if they wanted him so bad while letting him sit on the Seahawks roster for the 2012 season vs. paying him to do nothing.

So it's really nothing like that at all. I meant how he played at LSU. He was Trent Dilfer for their title team and that's why he was a 7th round pick.His job was basically not to lose games for them and they had a very loaded offense.

filthymcnasty08 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Should have drafted Russell (@#$ing) Wilson - now were sitting waiting for Seattle to crap out something for us to call a franchise QB. Going to enjoy his career like 16 root canals every year for 10-15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Flynn is not an "answer quarterback." He's a "question quarterback" as in "I wonder if he's good enough to start in the NFL." He reminds me of a cross between Fitz and Matt Cassel. No thanks for me.
