But when you base peoples paycheck off of 40 time and then they suck, what do you expect?

That was a planned move. They are taking the hit this year so that next year they will have more money than any team in the league. They released a lot of guys to take the hit now. MacKenzie is smart and he worries me.

Was it planned to waste 2 draft pics for shitty Qb's as well? lol

Taking a gamble on a stop gap QB is not a bad thing! Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. Chiefs have been doing it for years.

Raiders released QB Matt Flynn.
It's a stunning admission of defeat from out-of-his-depth GM Reggie McKenzie, but hardly surprising considering coach Dennis Allen's barely-concealed disdain for his would-be starting quarterback. Flynn had tumbled behind Matt McGloin — a painful to watch quarterback in college — on the depth chart, and was embarrassingly inept in his Week 4 spot start against the Redskins. The fact that he's bringing home a guaranteed $6.5 million this season is one of the most embarrassing GM gaffes in recent memory. Between his money wasted in Flynn and fourth-round misfire on Tyler Wilson, McKenzie has proven he has no idea what he's doing with quarterbacks. Barely a No. 2 level talent, it's possible Flynn will latch back on with the Packers, who lack a viable backup behind Aaron Rodgers.

spot on. All Reggie McKenzie has proven is how horrible of a GM he is.

I think RM is doing a great job. He's in his second year and isn't going to hit on every transaction. If he didn't get Flynn then who else to compete? Wilson is still on the team and Mcgloin has earned his spot. Most people with a brain can realistically look at what he took on last year (cap hell,no 1/2/3 draft pic) and give him time before they judge him.
