Could Matt Flynn fit in Kansas City?

By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com

This is If season.

It’s all about if this step happens, perhaps that step will be made. So, let’s play that game with the Kansas City Chiefs.


Green Bay executive John Dorsey is considered a heavy favorite to land in Kansas City as the general manager. New head coach Andy Reid has control of the franchise, but he needs a right-hand man. Dorsey is respected, and Reid and Dorsey are very close from their days in Green Bay together.

The first task of the Chiefs’ brass will be to figure what to do at quarterback. There will be several options. One could be former Green Bay backup Matt Flynn. He is now in Seattle. The Seahawks paid handsomely to make Flynn their potential starter last year. But they struck draft gold in the form of Russell Wilson.

Flynn could be available. Flynn was well respected and well thought of in Green Bay. If Dorsey is among his fan club, there could be a nice connection. Reid’s roots are in Green Bay, and he’d likely have little trouble taking on a quarterback from the Packers’ tree.

The key would be to not pay too much for Flynn in the form of a draft pick. I think he’d be worth a conditional mid-round pick, because there are no guarantees he will be the starter. Also, his contract might have be adjusted to some conditions.

But if those two areas were worked out, I think Flynn could be an interesting fit for the new Chiefs. I could see maybe combining Flynn and taking a quarterback such as Landry Jones or Matt Barkley or a Mike Glennon or Geno Smith (if they were available) early in the second round.

The Chiefs could let the two players compete. If one is great, then they have their answer for years to come. If not, Flynn would at least be serviceable for the short term. Then, the Chiefs can continue their search later.

There are no other clear answers this year. The Chief are going to have to take a chance and hope for the best.

If Reid and Dorsey think Flynn is the answer, he might be as good as any avenue to pursue.

Flynn will cost around $7 million in 2013 and $8 million in 2014 so Seattle could keep him but does it create a problem when you are paying your backup QB a lot more than the starter.

He was a 7th round pick.

He made the team because other than Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, they had no other QBs.

After sitting on the bench for 5 years, he had one good game against a crappy defense.

He is a scrub.

Nothing more, nothing less.

They drafted him the same year as Brohm, who went in the 2nd. Brohm was complete shit, while Flynn less shitty.

Brohm is exactly what I was talking about.

He sucked, so other than Rodgers and Farvre, they had no other QB.

I can remember Peter King pimping Brohm on the Colin Cowherd show when he was set to be drafted.

It was the one time I wanted to call and tell someone they were a ****ing idiot.

Flynn also probably made it since Favre went to the Jets, which left the Packers with 2 QBs other than Flynn(Rodgers, Brohm).

I firmly believe that the only qualifications required to be a sports journalist is the ability to string two words together.

I bet we hear more of this as the offseason progresses. Especially because Flynn will have ties to the Packers, and the narrative continues where pretty much everyone believes there aren't any QBs worth drafting #1 in this draft.

Came up in another thread... Matt Hasselbeck

I don't know what it would take to get him, but it's the perfect fit. Reid connections. Post-season/super bowl experience. Too old to be a long term threat to the position.

Just the kind of guy you want around your rookie QBOTF.

I've seen it all over this board now, and this is one vet consideration I can get behind.
