Try him at safety?

It seems like everyone says no to seemingly every possible available QB out there. Granted, I want a QB at #1 too, and a later round as well, but what veteran, or young QB with NFL experience do you suggest we go after?? We will need someone with experience on staff at QB. I certianly dont want all Rookies on the roster.

Flynn may be a back up, but his back up work has been pretty good. 10 million times better than what we have now. I dont get the problem with giving this guy a look IF he gets cut. Trade? eh, Id rather see whos on te market, but IF he hits the market? Why not?

I don't think there's any chance in hell that Dorsey would trade for a backup QB. Matt Flynn is not a starting QB. If you think he is, or may be, then you're a moron and you can stop reading here. For those who are not idiots, at least in acknowledging Matt Flynn is not a starting QB, during Dorsey's tenure with GB the Packers had a pattern. They would acquire young, low-cost (i.e. late draft picks or FA acquisitions) backup QBs, develop them, and then let them go - either through trade, FA, or expansion draft.

See: Mark Brunell, Ty Detmer, Doug Pederson, Matt Hasselbeck, Matt Flynn

This leads me to believe that Dorsey will acquire his backup QB(s) later in the draft or through free agency - not through a trade.

And who else could besides speedy guys that can throw. I am skeptical any NFL team will run a read option permanently because of what happened to RG3 and because you need a QB that can roll like Kap/SF etc.

They will make each of these passers into pocket QB's just like Reid did with McNabb.

I'd consider it if they'd take a 5th or a 6th for him. He has to agree to restructure his contract.

This does not mean not drafting a first round QB.

The more the merrier. He is surely an upgrade over all those we have now.

Fail.

I would be cool with Flynn as a backup.

Yup. His idea was to draft them low and sell them high.

Trade them - not trade for them...

They were also able to do this because they already had a franchise QB who never missed a game. They never had to spend a high pick on a QB.

Draft Geno Smith, bring in Jason Campbell.

Trading picks away for a backup is ****ing stupid.

Did you notice I said IF he became available?? As In CUT from Seattle?? Im not saying trade for him. In fact, I say no to that. But if he hit the open market? I wouldnt mind Flynn as a backup in that scenario. Campbell? Eh, but at least you named a QB.

Molitoth 01-23-2013 12:48 PM

IF Flynn was cut, I wouldn't mind seeing him on the roster. That said, some team is going to be stupid enough to trade for him... just like the chiefs did with Cassel.

The problem with Flynn is that I doubt he is content with being a backup... and if he once again does not get a starting job, how much drama/split is that going to cause in the locker room chemistry? I think Jason Campbell knows by now, that he has had his chance, and being a backup/mentor to a young guy is his role.

I think Campbell would be a better mentor to Geno Smith than a feisty and competitive Flynn.

Then again, competition can be good.

It's a double edge sword.

You may be right. Cleveland comes to mind. Didnt they want him before Seattle took him? or even Miami...
