[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 419452, member: 2232"] From Peter King on Flynn today: Now onto Flynn. Imagine the value of a 26-year-old unrestricted free agent quarterback in a market with four quarterback-needy teams (Indianapolis, Miami, Washington, Seattle and maybe Cleveland) who won't all be able to move up to get one of the two quarterbacks expected to go very high in the draft -- Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. That brings us to Flynn. He'll either be a free agent and get to choose whatever team he wants, or have the franchise tag put on him by the Packers and be traded in March or April to the team that likes him the most. My early money's on Washington or Seattle. The Redskins have to have a quarterback if Mike Shanahan is going to have any chance to win, and Seattle GM John Schneider worked for the Pack when Flynn was drafted by Green Bay. But we'll see. "That's an easy trap to fall into, to be thinking about that right now, but I can't let my mind wander to that, because I love this team too much, and this team has been too good to me,'' Flynn told me after his masterpiece against the Lions. He threw for more yards (480) and touchdowns (six) than any passer in the storied history of the franchise. "I have to be focused on doing whatever I can to help this team win now. So I won't let myself get caught in that.'' Flynn called it "humbling, unbelievable,'' to have played the game he did. "It just got to be a shootout,'' he said of the 45-41 Packer win. "During the week, I had a feeling I might play, and [coach] Mike McCarthy just said to me, 'We're going for it.' We were going to do whatever it took to win with the players who were playing. Aaron [Rodgers] really helped me. The history of developing quarterbacks really helped me, because I've learned to prepare like a starter, and I've learned to physically mimic him as much as possible because he does everything so well.'' Flynn now has started two games in the last two seasons, and you can bet sometime soon (maybe this week) Shanahan and his peers in Miami and Seattle and Cleveland will be putting on the tape of these games: [LEFT][U]Opponent Completions-Attempts Completion % Yards TD-Int [I][B]Rating[/B][/I][/U][/LEFT] [LEFT]New England, 24-37 64.7% 251 3-1 100.2[/LEFT] [LEFT]Detroit, 31-44 70.5% 480 6-1 136.4[/LEFT] [LEFT][B][U]Total[/U] 55-81 67.9% 731 9-2 [I]123.0[/I][/B][/LEFT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [LEFT][COLOR=#000000]Read more: [URL='http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/peter_king/01/01/week.17/index.html#ixzz1iMMvwHi1'][COLOR=#003399][U][COLOR=#003399]http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/peter_king/01/01/week.17/index.html#ixzz1iMMvwHi1[/COLOR][/U][/COLOR][/URL][/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
