Matt Flynn, backup QB for Green Bay is better then Tim Tebow.

The fact that this is even a toss up question says enough about Tebow's QB ability.

eh, Flynn was average at best even in college. Tebow isn't good, but he has to better than Flynn....lol, maybe.

Flynn has developed. He stepped in Green Bay and ended Brian Brohm's (a much better college QB more highly drafted) career. Awful QB's don't throw 6 TD's in an NFL game, which Flynn did today.wes_mantooth;1033607 wrote:eh, Flynn was average at best even in college.

Did Detroit play their starters on defense?

He probably made himself an extra $10 million today.
Someone was going to sign him anyway, but now this gives him more buzz and momentum on the open market to take over the position for some team in need of a QB.

Also, one game doesn't earn you $10 million, sorry.

It earned (and cost the Cardinals) Kevin Kolb a lot. Not 1 single game, but a huge performance can do that.

It was more than one game, and he wasn't a 7th round pick.Azubuike24;1033712 wrote:It earned (and cost the Cardinals) Kevin Kolb a lot. Not 1 single game, but a huge performance can do that.

What round was Tom Brady drafted? I don't think what round you are drafted matters.like_that;1033717 wrote:It was more than one game, and he wasn't a 7th round pick.

When you are saying he is worth $10 million more based off one game it does.said_aouita;1033746 wrote:What round was Tom Brady drafted? I don't think what round you are drafted matters.

Not saying he's going to cash in on 1 game. However, for a guy that some considered a future starter possibility, this game certainly elevated his name to the very top of the list of QB's that might be available via trade.
I'm still high on Kevin Kolb. Drew Brees and Matt Schaub turned out fine. Carson Palmer this year hasn't been bad for Oakland. Jay Cutler the same with Chicago.

Haha. Where Flynn was drafted has nothing to do with how much he will make on his next contract.

There had been talk of him being the type a team that needed a QB may target to be a starter.
Putting up those types of numbers in your 1 start will make some team that may have been considering it more likely to pull the trigger, and pay handsomely.

HAHA! Uhh yeah it does, when you only have 88 career pass attempts up until this last game. Might as well give Ryan Mallet 10 mil too since everyone in the Pats camp is saying he looks solid, and can be a good QB in the NFL.jordo212000;1033762 wrote:Haha.

It's a high risk move. I sure as hell wouldn't value him worth 10 million more, because of this past game.IggyPride00;1033778 wrote:Bingo.

Arian Foster was undrafted. Think this came up when he was negotiating a new contract?

The Packers will be in a position to also want to deal Flynn as he's been around 4 years.
The Patriots, given that Tom Brady will be 35 before the start of next season, aren't going to be as likely to trade Mallet who is only a rookie.

No, I think his performance on the field, since you know, he actually played more than one game determined his value. Not surprised you don't understand that logic. Nice fail though.jordo212000;1033789 wrote:Arian Foster was undrafted. Think this came up when he was negotiating a new contract?

You just said draft position determines how much somebody gets on their second contract? Now, no?

smh, do you really need this to be spelled out to you. Here is the quote, notice the bolded part:jordo212000;1033799 wrote:You just said draft position determines how much somebody gets on their second contract? Now, no?
88 career attempts implies he hasn't played often in order to evaluate him and determine his value. Arian Foster played last year, and was one of the top RBs in the league, thus obviously his value was determined based on his season performance. Is that logic that hard to understand, or are you really that dumb? Cue your spin machine now.like_that;1033781 wrote:HAHA!
