They have called, but not probable that Kolb goes there.

Matt Flynn about to be traded (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter JHuber77
- Start date
If he was thought highly of by the league, he would have received a lot more interest than he did.Based on?Stopgap might not have been the correct term, but do you think he's capable of leading a team to the playoffs? I don't.Agree completely.What makes you think that Flynn is a stopgap? He's not old. And he lost out to a pretty darn impressive rookie. The last game he started was historic.

Two teams have traded for him now with the idea to have him start for them at quarterback. I don't think teams generally do this if they don't think the guy can lead them to a playoff game.Just say you don't know, it's okay.If he was thought highly of by the league, he would have received a lot more interest than he did.Based on?Stopgap might not have been the correct term, but do you think he's capable of leading a team to the playoffs?

Well since you say so without any reasoning, I'm all in.

This is just silly. We haven't even seen him play. Scott Mitchell led a team to the playoffs. So did Rex Grossman.Stopgap might not have been the correct term, but do you think he's capable of leading a team to the playoffs?

Eagle and Cardinal fans who have been around here will tell you that when it comes to all things Kolb, yes, G-King was basically in the room

Im going to bet this is 100% wrong.
Actually yes I was.Now how about you go be a tool elsewhere and ignore my info. I'll do the same with yours, keyboard dude.
It's clowns like this who keep good info off the board. I'll just continue PM ing 90% of my info to the group who actually contribute info and like receiving info, and leave you to ruining threads with smart### comments. Good luck

People need to simmer down.
I don't know if Flynn can win the Super Bowl. I do know he's more appealing than Palmer or Pryor and while I think a second round player like bray or Wilson has similar potential, I see no fault on taking on a guy who has shown nfl ability and knows the league. People greatly underestimate the "act like a professional" part of pro sports. Lots of talented guys never figure it out. Is Flynn the most talented guy available? No. But like smith he is a somewhat known quantity and the team doesn't need to worry about him sleeping through practice or being late to film sessions. When trying to turn around a bad franchise, every little thing helps.

Flynn could be a breath of fresh air, too bad I am not wild about the coaching staff there and also the fact Oakland doesn't seem able to develop a QB, almost like they don't know how so I am concerned that Flynn might not make it to the next level there.

Actually the Raiders have had great success bringing in veteran QB's for example Gannon. Where the Raiders have the problem is developing QB's they actually drafted.

He new about Kolb? Is he in his entourage or something. lolUmmm, is Kolb someone of value to know something about anyways?
He is a useless NFL quarterback lucky enough to sign with a third team after the other two made a mistake with him.

I think Seattle deserves some props for trading Flynn and giving him the chance to compete in Oak, certainly his future in Seattle was over once Wilson showed what he is capable of.
I think Flynn can still make an impact. He was in GB's system and I think Seattle saw something in him as well. They brought in Wilson to compete, I doubt they knew they had a potential franchise QB on their hands on draft day.

Your right, his knowledge of Kevin Kolb helps so many.
What does he contribute? That? Info on Kolb? To be honest I rather know nothing then inside info on Kolb, its virtually the same thing.
Kolb is useless in all walks of football, he is not a starter and should be watching the games on Sunday with us. He will be soon enough.

guess I missed the Easter update;
after reading that article I give the Raiders credit for stalling and trying, but i see no reason why Flynn would take a pay cut or restructure to go QB one of the worst run teams in the league. Just Back up Wilson for next 2 yrs, earn 12+ mil and be a FA again when your 29.... life is good for Matt Flynn

Have you looked over my 1327 useless posts?
Nope, so again there you go again thinking you know everything.

Glazer's reporting that deal is done for Flynn, two picks (one in 2014 and one in 2015) Both picks are later round.

I like the move, he is cheaper then Palmer and was supposed to be the starter in Seattle, but Wilson proved to be studly.
He shouldnt be any worse then Palmer, and maybe a bit better as he has something to play for. Palmer is a quitter.

awesome,

According to Shefter, the trade for Carson to Arizona also good as done.

Palmer did put up QB2ish numbers even if most of it was garbage time; Flynn should have a floor of 4000 / 25TDs
Raiderfan32904
Footballguy
That floor is crazy high....... You could be as well

Footballguy
Perhaps, but sort of silly to analyze this until we know exactly what picks we're talking about.
Hooper31
Footballguy
I'm going to vote no on this as a floor. Floor should be that the team sucks balls and they choose not to play Flynn at all through half of the season. Floor should be virtually no fantasy contribution at all.
KellysHeroes
Footballguy
Palmer had over 4000 and 22 last yr / in 2011 he had over 2300 and 11 in half a season; so Palmer's previous stats should be the floor for the better QB, not that crazy. Seriously, lossing DHB and Myers is going to prevent that?
1- It's not a given that Flynn is the better QB.
2- I don't think you understand the concept of what a "floor" means.
