Flynn a Seahawk

[ChrisPozz]

Peter King:

Flynn said a big factor in Sea over Mia was vibe in the building in Seattle: "The coaches, the staff--they were fantastic"

Not worried about this one at all. If Philbin, who has worked very closely with Flynn for the last few years didn't think enough of him to sign him when they are desperate for a QB, he must not be very good.

The Dolphins were extremely interested in signing Flynn. The Seahawks just won him over.

It's a good risk for Seattle, Flynn showed a lot of promise in his two starts. But, Seattle isn't Green Bay... Flynn is probably going to be confused at why tackling rushers from behind is flagged as holding now... and then confused at why Seattle's O-Line doesn't do that to stop defenders from knocking the shit out of him.

I'm not a big fan of Flynn, but I don't think that's a fair conclusion at all.

I agree, but people ran with the fact Smith hadn't much play to mean no one was interested in him when teams believed he was a foregone Niner and were waiting for Manning to choose first (Seattle didn't pursue Flynn until Manning rejected them), Condon was busy, and no one here knows every flier taken informally. (No, I'm not saying he was covetted, but the repeated absolutes "why has nobody offered Smith?" seemed slanted a bit.) So I'm not surprised if people run with the fact Flynn wasn't signed by his former coach.

Hmmm.. will history repeat itself?... Another Green Bay back up now a QB for the Seahawks...

The Phins reportedly low balled Flynn... So in a way, that conclusion does have merit

He is the next Scott Mitchell. One good game and people fawn all over him and sign him to a contract that is 4 times the guys value.

At least with Cassel the chiefs had almost a whole season of play to look at, but 1-2 games in a career is just stupidity. Anyone can have a great game.

They probably low balled him because they thought they had him in the bag b/c of the Philbin connection. That doesn't mean they don't think he's any good.

Wait until Willis gives him a big welcome to the NFC West. He will realize he made a mistake.

As long as Patrick doesn't hurt him, I don't want the Seachickens to find out the QB of the future is on the pine behind him.

Who?

Who?

Meant more as a, "He's sure not the guy" than a, "I know the guy behind is better" comment.
