  • Its going to be between the Browns, Seattle, Skins, and Miami. One of those teams will end up picking RGIII with their first pick and I think it will be the Browns or Skins. I think Flynn will either end up with Miami or Seattle and my guess would be Miami with him being a southern boy.

      Especially if Philbin gets the HC job there.

      • Whatever happens, I hope it doesn't turn sour like the last time an ex-starting GB QB left the organisation. Slapping Flynn with a tag just to get a high second instead of a late 3rd without the consent and blessing of Flynn is a sure-fire way to show the remaining locker room that this is, indeed, a me-first business.

        The Packers presently look like a great organisation that allowed an up till now career second-stringer with one previous start a final chance to showcase his stuff in anything but garbage time. One could argue that made a lot of sense, because they wanted to protect the Franchise and at the same time, explore what they had in their back-up going into the playoffs.

        Still, as it stands, this is a win-win situation. The Packers, through their actions so far, could use their MO to attract UFAs and also in contract negatiations going forward. Especially if Flynn gets a bit contract.

          Is Philbin's name out there for a HC job? I guess I missed that...
          No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

            Sounds like they want Fisher, but if they don't get him, Philbin is reportedly on the list of possibilities.

              It's illegal to franchise a player for purposes of making a trade. As far as I can tell, the NFL looks the other way if compensation is modest. Check out Silverstein article.

              My guess is that TT doesn't mess with it and lets him walk. The franchise tag is needed for leverage with Finley.

                In this case, Flynn is not really getting "slapped" wit a franchise tag, he gets long term deal in end. I don't think it is a problem.

                  exactly. I don't think the players could see a guy treated more fairly than Flynn.

                    Fully agree - that's what I wrote, too. As it stands, the team looks almost heroic. That's valuable going forward. It's not worth rocking the boat, or an NFL investigation just to move up 1 1/5 rounds in a draft. It's petty at best, dangerous at least and damaging at worst.

                        look, the guy retired. TT bent over backwards accomodating the prima donna.

                          Was talking about Flynn and the Vikings always going after Packer players.

                                Yeah. MM and Tom Clements might be the best QB coaching duo in the NFL right now. The Packers have really helped Flynn along. When many GMs were saying, "bah, he's got no upside", The Packers were saying, "We're going to stand by this guy, get him ready. He has IT"

                                Flynn actually played a full year of college football and won a championship. Cassell was never even a starting college QB. Flynn has over 1,000 yards passing in the NFL and a 93 QB rating. I've watched Cassell play. He makes stupid mistakes. Flynn plays fast, plays with tempo. He seems to push the pace, more like Brady or Brees. AR and Manning take their time at the line. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

                                Flynn is a good athlete, tough, smart, good in the lockerroom. He's going to get us a pick. I'd bet on it.
