What is Matt Flynn Worth to the Redskins

So, we sign Flynn and draft Blackmon with the first pick and then OL or CB with the 2nd.

Actually as someone pointed out, Blackmon is a good candidate to end up in St. Louis. Either they trade back with us or Cleveland for RG3 or the Rams just keep the pick and draft Blackmon. And no way would I count on us draft an OL in the second. Maybe a CB, but if we're going with generic positions I'd elect/predict a safety or an ILB. Either way it'll probably be some obscure position that no one is really expecting to be a position of immediate need.

Then again Matt Kalil has also been linked a lot to the Rams but how many more lineman can the Rams draft before the fans say they've had enough?

What do you think is so different about there system?I would explain,(excluding the obvious like personnel)
but to avoid an uneccesary quibble:

Do you agree that McCarthy's offense is different from Kyle's?

is RG3 a safe bet? no. is bradford? is flynn? is sanchez?

If I was choosing among those four, I'd try flynn, grubbs and a FA WR, draft the best available (though an OT and CB would be prefered and maybe a 2nd tier QB).

I'd be on board with that plan.

I might have an idea as to how much Flynn will cost.

On October 28 2011, Fitzpatrick signed a six year, $59 million contract extension.[11]


Probably something in the $10 million a year range. Give or take $3 million (mostly take)

In all seriousness though he does remind me a bit of Schuab. In part because he's had not only strong preseasons but strong showings in limited regular season action. Both QB's also didn't have the strongest arms. I believe theres something there with Flynn but either way the Skins have to plot the course early.I think Schaub has a stronger arm, but that's neither here nor there because I actually think Flynn could be better then Rex in this scheme.
I base my opinion on skillsetand not their production.
By that same token I also think Josh Johnson could work, I wouldn't even be surprised if Jimmy Clausen was more productive then Rex in this offense.

I think all of those QBs have physical shortcomings.
And given the choice I prefer the most talented QB possible to groom.
And the hopeful outcome for that prospect is beyond being better then Rex.
The hopeful outcome would be a QB with the skillset to be great.
At the same time I acknowledge that not all great QB have a great skillset.
But why look for a needle in a stack of needles?


Do you make a strong offer for Flynn or do you hope you can trade up in the draft to get RG3 . You can only try both if you loose out on Flynn in Free AgencyI'm not convinced Griff won't be there when we pick.
And if he's not there another QB should be available like Bradford or McCoy then Flynn could be a distant fallback option.

I'm still upset by the lack of forsight at the QB position that has lead us here, now.
The FO should have been thinking about Flynn last year.

If it is true that the Packers wanted a 1st and 3rd for Flynn I would be hesitant to pull the trigger. Think about what Arizona gave up for a mostly unproven, yet somehow highly touted, back-up QB in Kolb. And look how he's working out for them, not the greatest....

Not sure you can pay a guy that type of money and not even know he can be the starter on your squad. Hell, he may not even beat out current QBs on the teams looking at him.

Flynn's a unrestricted FA right?

I'm not convinced about RGIII either. It's too tough to figure out if he can make the transition to a NFL style offense.

MS does his homework. I'm sure they've studied Matt Flynn well before today.

I'm not against this route, assuming our FO thinks highly enough of him.
