Report: Giants “reached out” to Matt Flynn

[Freak Out]

I want to see how he develops in TC and the pre-season but if the Packers go into the season with Toz as the #2 I'd be surprised.

[Patler]

I think Flynn's days are just about done. Something was wrong with his arm last year, he could barely throw 20 yards with anything on it. His arm never was a canon, but last year was ridiculous. Maybe the off season helped, but I wouldn't count on it.

Tolzien had no time to prepare. He and Wallace were signed after training camp was done, and Tolzien for the practice squad at that. With no experience to draw on, we shouldn't have expected much. Flynn had a significant advantage just from his prior years in GB.

Tolzien should be better this year. I certainly hope so, because he has twice the arm that Flynn does.

[Rutnstrut]

I saw enough of Tolzien when he played for the Badgers to last me a lifetime, he just isn't that good. He for sure isn't better than Flynn, not that that would take a whole lot. Going into the season hoping Tolzien has progressed, is as stupid as their plan last year.

[smuggler]

Did Flynn end up getting the Tommy John surgery, or was he trying to score a contract first?

IMO the main reason Flynn looked passable as a QB last year was because he had a clue what he was doing. We'll never know if Wallace could have won a couple games while Rodgers was out because he got injured in his first series in his first start. I'm beginning to agree with Patler, Flynn's arm might be shot and that's why we haven't signed him again. Matt has to know nobody is gonna come calling for him to start. There is no way he'll beat out Eli in NY.

Kimberly Jones @KimJonesSports 13m
Josh Freeman & Matt Flynn expected to work out for NYG tomorrow. Both to arrive in town today.

No, I don't know who Kim Jones is, but every other NFL beat writer has retweeted this info.

Hi ... I'm Kim Jones.



Hi ... I'm Kim Jones and really good looking ... errrrr actually ... I'm really screwed.

Matt Flynn's arm was pudding last season. Inspite of that he kept our playoff hopes alive. He needed to address that noodle arm issue with all the money he bilked out of NFL teams. Otherwise he'd look great behind a bar and talking NFL trivia.

Scott Tolzien looks like a calf trying to walk on ice and he needs some seasoning to be fairly assessed.

The bottom line as last season ended. We don't have a solid backup QB. I believe a contending team must have a very decent backup QB.

Ted Thompson !?

The second Kim Jones looks like Troy Aikman's sister.

He denied there was a problem with his arm. But I am with Patler. At times, his throws looked very different.

Because obviously an athlete can never be better or more mature than he was in college??

[bobblehead]

So what are the Packers gaining by gambling with the back up position again? If not Flynn, who? Please don't say Tolzien as he sucks ass, Flynn isn't great but he isn't terrible. I wouldn't be surprised to see TT bring Jamarcus Russel in just because he's cheap.

You lose credibility with that last sentence. Russell is so far gone he couldn't walk on to a major college team anymore.

[bobblehead]

If Flynn goes elsewhere, Tolzien will get first look, with some 7th rounder stashed on the practice squad. The Packers like Tolzien's arm and are planning that a full off season and QB school will make him a decent backup. They had figure out quickly if Tolzien won't cut it so they can bring in a street vet in time to learn the system, just as long as he is not Seneca the elder.

I think the newest CBA makes an offseason QB school illegal.

They can still have one, but it is shorter, more compressed. Players can't handle footballs at team facilities until mid-April, when OTA's start. McCarthy started with QBs in early March previously. Same for kickers and punters. No footballs allowed at team facilities before the start of organized team activities in April.

And it doesn't mean that M3 can't give Tolzien plenty of offseason homework .
