What is Matt Flynn Worth to the Redskins

[SmootSmack]

Cleveland will definitely show interest in Flynn. But from what I hear feeling isn't necessarily mutual

Are your hearing if the Redskins are interested and Matt Flynn's interest in the Redskins. I am sure yesterdays game will cause the Redskins along with everyone else to reevaluate Matt Flynn. I am sure he just popped on a bunch of teams radar.

So everytime a back -up QB plays well he gets a thread? Did anyone watch that game? Cause I did and Detriot has got to be the worst defense in the NFL. Piss poor tackling, a lot of break downs in coverage. Not saying Flynn didn't do his part but I'm not giving up a lot to get him.

Its not out in left field buddy. He was already the top rated free agent QB. The knock was there was such a small body of work. Well he still has a small body of work, but he went in and blew the doors of the building. He also set a record, C'Mon Man.

Living in New Orleans, I've watched Flynn ever since he took over the reins at LSU from Jamarcus Russell. I have always thought he was underwhelming, not bad, just not impressive. I did watch the Green Bay game yesterday and was very impressed with his play. He played a great game and MADE plays, not just managed the game. I have to say, that I would view Flynn as an upgrade over Rex, but with so small a sample of his body of work in the pros, I fear that most Skins fans will be in for a rude awakening if/when he would become our QB. I believe that in Flynn we would be getting a 'game manager' in the mold of a Brad Johnson. Above average as far as game managers go, but no really outstanding skills or playmaking that bump him into the elite category. I have no problem with bringing him in, I just would hate to see the fans get all worked up, (like with McNugget), only to be let down when reality comes crashing down once again.

I agree. He didn't really impress me when he was at LSU. Good college player but nothing more. Besides, if you put Flynn behind center here, does he have the ability to make the players around him better? No. We need a potential superstar. Not a potential game manager, or a slight upgrade over Grossman. I say we pass and draft our own guy.

Hopefully, IND signs Flynn.

Wait, having Luck and Manning isn't enough?

I hope and think the Skins stay away from Flynn. I could see him playing for the Jets though and maybe Sanchez is reunited with Pete Carol in a three way deal.

So Jets would get Flynn, Sanchez would go to Seahawks, what would the third team be? And by the way, Flynn is an unrestricted free agent so there would be no trade...

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.

These are the types of things that drive me crazy. Flynn is a FA. No one has to trade for him.

And in my opinion thats what makes Flynn so valuable; not only could he be a good qb, but the opportunity cost to get him is existentially zero. With Luck and RGIII it will cost us at a bare minimum 1 draft pick but in reality multiple draft picks and/or trading players like Orapko/T. Williams/Davis. If we sign Matt Flynn all it will cost us is Danny's money (inconsequential to me) and cap space which depending on the deal could also be relatively inconsequential.

My thoughts are RGIII or Luck may be much better qb prospects then Flynn, however, do you believe that the cost in the loss of 6th overall pick plus trading additional picks and/or players to get either of them will be more beneficial to the team then not having to trade anything and simply adding Flynn? Trading for a player is entirely different and more costly then signing a player through FA. In fact trading picks and/or players to move up in the draft is nearly identical as trading for a player on another team.

I think this is the key point. If flynn's the guy, we still have two picks in the first 2 rounds (potential instant starters).

so if we need a CB, QB, OT, and WR 2 high picks won't cover all 4. especially if you feel like we need safety help or a young ILB.

best FAs for us could be flynn, grimes (or rogers :P), one of the MANY FA WRs (bowe wallace etc), and grubbs at OG. you could take 0-4 or those and draft 2 guys (one of which could be blackmon, RGIII, claiborne, kalil - one will be available at #6).

If you traded with cinncy you'd be able to get tannehill and a CB (like jenkins) at 19 and 24.

for cheap FAs, I'd definately grab 2-3 safeties at the $1mill/year range and see if we can upgrade doughty and gomes. I'd do the same for ILB and/or look at the 3rd and 4th round as a place to draft there, assuming we fill at least 2 needs in FA.

I kinda think the #2 pick should be a new RT, and a FA WR is going to be better than drafting one since SOO many are available this year and its the easiest way to save a pick. grimes is a great CB, but I bet he and rogers get bigger contracts than we'd want to give - we can either pay one of them and draft a QB or pay a QB and take claiborne. Grubbs is just a good buy if we cann swing it, but he wouldn't alleviate the need at RT and we probably won't be drafting a good OG unless we get lucky in the 3rd.

that's kinda what i'm thinking, not that it really matters .

I really want to see what Beck can do with OTA's and minicamps.
