What is Matt Flynn Worth to the Redskins

Shanny knows what the hell he's doing. I'm quite positive if he thinks Flynn is the type of talent he wants as his QB, he'll bring him in. From what I've gathered from a few insiders, they aren't interested in him so don't get your hopes up.


I still don't get why fans are still ripping Mike over the QB position with him having really 0 options elsewhere.

Draft? Locker got drafted before us.
FA? Vince Young is really tearing it up in Philly.
FA? Matt Hasselbeck? You want to pay a 36 year old 21 million to throw 6 fewer INTs?

Grossman: 16 TDs, 20 INTs, 3,151 yards, 72.4 QB rating (13 games)
Hasselbeck 18 TDs, 14 INTs, 3,571 yards, 82.4 QB rating (16 games)

Mind you, that's with Hasselbeck having Chris Johnson in the back field. The numbers aren't really that much different other than the INTs. Also, Rex has played 3 fewer games.

So where was this "magical fix" at the QB position you guys keep chirping about?

Well, Shanahan also didn't have to "stake his reputation" on these two bums either. There was a certain arrogance with which he stuck with Rex and Beck that was pretty annoying.

What else did you want him to say!

" Grossman is a Bum!!! and Forget this season! I am looking forward to the offseason."

C'mon think about it... Mediocre players need every encouragement to try and lift there game. Did not work.

Really? You think Rex needs any encouragement? That guy forgets the pass he threw 2 seconds ago. And Beck? Needing encouragement? Hahaha. He led his own "I'm the starter" media campaign in the offseason better than any QB in history that has never been a regular starter. Mike could have handled it better than to "stake his reputation" on either one of those joe's, neither of whom needed any sort of confidence boost.

You are right Grossman needs no encouragement! He is a gunslinger type...but the rest of the players needed to see the coach prop him up as he was all we had!

He Know the system and let the young players we have develop. Eveb if he did not help that much.

We are getting better...Record did not show it but just look at RB and D-Line next year and Reily stepped up

An arguably wise man once said: "five-n-eleven, not very good."

It would have been pretty moronic to rip on your starting quarterback before the season, but what was ACTUALLY said wasn't exactly much wiser. A simple "we'll explore all options" doesn't commit you to making a move and yet prevents you from looking like an imbecile at the end of the year.

Not sure what you wanted Mike to say?



Guys, these two clowns are the only real options available so I'm going to roll with them until next years draft. Hang in there guys while I'm rebuilding this ship!

Listen to the words and then watch the actions. Beck played in all of 3 games. I wouldn't call that staking your reputation on him. Having him play the whole season would have been.
