What is Matt Flynn Worth to the Redskins

Same here. I've heard the same thing from several sources, and even Kyle tried to dispell the mystique surrounding his "system". I think people get too carried away with the "system", and how long it takes to learn. All the crap about Al Saunder's 700 page playbook was ridiculous. It's not like they're running the run and shoot or wildcat or triple option Offense. They run the ball, they pass the ball, they utilize the TE, the QB lines up over center and in shotgun. When Kyle had capable talent in Houston, their Offense didn't look worlds apart from green Bays.

“You don’t need a guy that’s experienced with your system,” said Shanahan, who is in his second season with the Redskins after directing the Houston Texans’ offense in 2008 and 2009. “When [Matt] Schaub came into Houston in his first year, he played at a very high level. I don’t think it’s a system that takes a long time to learn. You can get better at it, but everyone in the league runs similar plays.”

That said, I'm not saying they should put all their eggs in the Mat Flynn basket. If they didn't have to trade for him, I'd be open to them grabbing him and still drafting a QB in the early rounds. We need 2-3 new QBs on opening day.
