What is Matt Flynn Worth to the Redskins

I would say there's a large difference between saying the Redskins have not improved at all at any position on the football field, which isn't true at all, vs. looking around the league at all teams and wondering exactly how many of them haven't improved at least as much in the last two years as the Redskins have.

In a vacuum, the Redskins under Shanahan have been great. Against other teams in the NFL, meh, not so much. And the quarterback situation is seemingly a large part of that.

I'm sure the bolded is an inaccurate assumption of many posters viewpoints.
I'm sure many like myself can separately judge decisions.
Making a mistake in one areas doesn't equate to making a mistake in all areas.
I think assumptions like that needlessly lumps people into pigeon holes.

Well like I said its my impression. Plus if I'm being totally honest I'm thinking of one person in particular who gives me this impression. But it's not you, and I won't call this person out

For some reason this popped into my head:

Oh, what you mean the sacks and stuff?

But, the QB position is kinda a big deal though.

sorry NC I'm a HUGE Shanny guy but he ****ed up with our QB sit and did last year too.

I'll be the first in line to say Shanny ****ed up the McNabb trade. Never liked that deal from day one.

This year? I think with the lockout and limited options in the FA market, he probably had no other choice. As soon as the lockout ended, training camp basically started the next day.

Also, I never believe paying a 36 year old Hasselbeck $21 million dollars was worth the slight upgrade he may have been at QB. Hell, he every well may have been worse than Rex here.

I'm worried that Shanny is going to draft Landry. He's got the tools, but the guy is locked in to one receiver at all times and when it wasn't Broyles, he sucked.

Back to Flynn.
Great option last year.
This year *meh* not so much.
He would be convient in that we wouldn't need to spend a draft pick on him.

[skinster]

I didn't see him play, but I'd prefer to trade for flynn (if he is good) over reaching for a qb (if we don't believe in someone). Trust our scouting. Whoever we think is best we give the first round pick up for. I'd guess it would be flynn. Word in the preseason this year was flynn was playing even better than rodgers.

If we strike out on RG III, Matt Flynn should be #2 on our list of priorities. All I know is, we cannot ignore QB for another second! I love the thought of us drafting RG III, but imagine signing Flynn and being able to draft Blackmon to go alongside Hankerson. Not to mention we can always draft someone like Kellen Moore or Weedon a bit later in the draft.

Free agency starts before the draft. Flynn will be signed with someone not long after that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Flynn gets brought in to Cleveland since Holmgren has ties to Green Bay. That would still give us a better chance to get RG3.

Thats true. And we wouldn't have to trade up to get our QB at that point. Especially if Landry Jones were to declare and make the Dolphins love him.

I don't think Flynn has the arm strength to throw consistently in Cleveland weather. If they look at QB I expect it in the draft. Luck and RG3 will go 1-2 and there is no other 1st round qb talent, imo, after Jones recent play. If this plays out, Cleveland will have to trade up to get RG3 and with Altanta's first round pick they could package it.
Flynn will get a blockbuster deal in the first couple of days of FA but I expect it to be someone like the Dolphins, Seahawks or Jets (if the rumored arrival of Manning falls through). All three could be an immediate QB starter from the playoffs next year.
If this happens, I'd like Colt McCoy for a 3-4 pick and take someone like Tannehill to develop. This would also allow for getting someone like Morris Claiborne, Dre Kirkpatrick or Jayron Hosley (all CB's, whoever they fell is best) with the 6th pick or trade back and get one of the 3.

I really hope we dont go after RG3, Im still hopeing we trade down and take Tannehill.
