YUT !!!
well......he stunk it up.....was to be expected, he really does not have anyone worth a crap to throw to or a decent line to keep him safe.
Put this one in the "Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda" files.
Things aren't going the way it should have for Matt Flynn. From here he goes on to Seattle only to get the shaft there.
If we had kept him then perhaps he would have done better than Graham Harrell at the goal line and we would have had more breathing space against the Taints.
But a lot of fans on here were ready and OK with letting Flynn go. (I wasn't.)
What did we get in return?
Was it worth it?
Just think of this as the "Matt Flynn Appreciation Thread."What exactly is it about the situation that we "woulda coulda shoulda" done? Slapped a $15M franchise tag on a player that would have ideally never played a down except in garbage time? Traded Rodgers for a slewful of picks and made Flynn the starter? Those sound like potentially job and career-endangering decisions for Ted Thompson.
I'm just asking for some reasonable and realistic way as to how we could have kept Matt Flynn. You can't even say "match Seattle's offer" because 1) Paying nearly $9M a year to a backup is an enormous waste of resources and 2) There is no reason Flynn would have stayed here for the same amount knowing at the time he would have had no chance of ever starting here.

I say sign him too. Don't forget he played on Seattle! We could have a little "upper edge" with him knowing the playbook!Flynn's been cut. I say sign him
