I think Flynn is an intriguing option. He's someone who has already shown promise in the NFL. I think he'd be worth a first round pick.
31 of 44 for 480 yards..... Nice choice Canada, I'll take that pick!
Same here.
He is going to get a big payday. And, much like Matt Cassel then, he was playing on an exceptional offense, but with far less game experience to suggest that he is for real. I would be fine with it. But I would hate to see all competition removed to make room for him.
I would want either Orton, or Cassel to remain, to supply us with a real starter, in case Flynn were to get here and struggle with the offense.
This is not The Packers' offense. And we have seen how a QB successful with an offense can struggle with a major change to the offense.
Would I go after him? Probably not. But, if Orton, or Cassel leaves, then I might.
It's just that so little has been seen of Flynn. This is basically one game getting him hyped up. Beyond this game, and some impressive preseason play, there is very little to look at, with Flynn.
This I tend to disagree with, only because there is a huge risk with Flynn. They'd have to first pay him, and then hope there is a trading partner out there that will A.) pay for him with draft picks and B.) take on the big contract the Packers gave him (or a Franchise tag). The franchise tag would make more sense, but they'd still be on the hook for probably upwards of $17M if they couldn't trade him.
The Patriots did this with Cassel, but only after he had an 11-5 season. Flynn has shown some promise, but in extremely limited action.
The Packers could go this route, but it is very risky and could end up being a huge hit to their cap if they can't trade him.
