Matt Flynn agrees to a deal with Seattle

[Rayman]

Jeff Ireland really has to stop asking prospective Dolphins if their momma was a ho.

I am trying to rationalize things like this: nobody knows flynn better than philbin, if philbin couldn.t agree with going all in on flynn, then that means there are considerable
doubts whether he can be a franchise QB.

[Aso]

Sounds like Rob Johnson, minus trading Fred Taylor for him and all.

Horrible comparison. Rob Johnson would rather surf than play NFL football. That is why he ultimately flamed out. Matt Flynn is very passionate for the game of football unlike Johnson. Get that shit out of here.

It has nothing to do with coach Philbin and everything to do with Stephen Ross possibly being the worst in the league at what he does.

I don't get the Jackson hate either. He won't take us to the next level, but we could do a lot worse at QB.

This isn't a compliment to Tarvaris. Of course you can do much worse. I'll agree with that 100%.

[Rylo]

Dolphins management literally makes me sick.

Could be worse, you could be going into next year with Mike Vick and Trent Edwards at QB...

[Rylo]

I am all for Matt Moore.

I'm saying Ross can't land anyone. Missed out on numerous coaches, numerous possible FAs. Its just disgusting.

[Maynard]

I fucking give up, really, I have no idea what the fuck to do/think anymore. I am considering just cowhering in a corner on sunday's and just crying.

i been doing this since 1994

go browns

Im not convinced Matt Flynn will be considerably better that Matt Moore either, to be fair.

People are killing the Dolphins here, but is it really that horrible of a decision to pass on giving $26MM to a guy with two starts?

So the Kolb comparison is no good, the Johnson comparison is no good, the Mitchell comparison is no good...apparently only the Schaub comparison is valid, because it fits your narrative (after it took him half of his contract to live up to it).

agreed. what had flynn ever done other than play in a no pressure game with a super stud lineup around him. sure he did well, but that doesnt mean he is worth being courted like he is peyton manning.

just like the world having a hard on for RG3. it cracks me up at how people just jump on the bandwagon for these guys. everyone is so caught up in rg3 that they forgot the names of every other blue chip prospect coming out in the draft

[shag773]

The Dolphin fans are pissed because when they hired Philiben they assumed it would be a package deal with Matt Flynn, who played so well within their system, albeit in 8 quarters, with 4 only really meaning anything.

I'm not really on the Flynn train. My take is, if this coach can get that much out of Matt Flynn, lets see what can he do with a QB like Brandon Weeden, or Case Keenan....

To be fair every situation is different. I'm sure I could find a bad situation that matches up if I search hard enough.

And I'm not saying there is a 100% chance he succeeds either if thats what you took away from that.

At least it's not like the Seahawks trade for Charlie Whitehurst with 0 career pass attempts.

Matt Moore played a lot better than Tarvaris Jackson did. I'm not sure in his first year as a full time starter he would be better than Moore but I don't believe Moore has the same potential to become a franchise QB which of course is the trade-off.

I don't think this is terrible for the Dolphins either. They could always ride with Moore this season and try again for a potential franchise QB next off-season. This would be a much better plan than trying for Garrard or Smith.
