With only one backup QB on the roster Flynn should get more reps in pre season and training camp and more work in the QB school.

Hopefully he'll start playing lights out in pre season games and we can cash in on him.

If we could get a second rounder for him that would be sweet, and help take away the nasty taste of the Brohm pick. The guy is still on his 7th round rookie contract so he's coming pretty cheap.

I just watched the game again, and that overthrow to Driver on the deep route looked like a miscommunication. I think Driver held up on his route just as Flynn let go of the ball.

We've been spoiled when it comes to watching our QBs play.

Rodgers can chuck the thing 70 yards in the air.

A 7th rounder making his first tentative steps of regular season play shouldn't be anywhere near as accurate or fast.

Yet he looked ok. My guess is that if Flynn had a cannon of an arm he wouldnt have lasted to the 7th round.

You never know. Brady only got picked in the 6th round. Brees fell to the 2nd because of his heigth and his 'considerable lack of arm strength'. Usually, some strength and conditioning on the pro level will do you wonders. Or just getting in another offense.

Flynn threw some lasers in that game. He might not have Rodgers' arm strength, but he was easily getting the range he needed on those deep passes. They where just off target. Something which really isn't that weird when you sit on the bench during games and mainly run the scout team during practice.

Like Greg said, as well. The long one to Driver was just some miscommunication. Something that's bound to happen when you just step off the bench while not getting a whole lot of reps with the first team. For someone who's in the situation he's in, he seemed very well prepared and ready to play to me.

I would love to see some more from him next week. And hopefully with Driver and Jennings, as well, so we can really asses his talent a little.

After we have Rodgers getting Driver over 1000 (996) yards and Jennings over 1100 (1084), that is.

Yes, I care about stuff like that.

I concede the point, the 'tools' may still be there on a 7th rounder.

We were all pretty much hoping he'd become a serviceable backup but I read a post from a guy on another forum who said Flynn could be really could. He read a report from a scout in the offseason who said if he was to become a GM the first move he'd make would be to trade for Flynn and make him the franchise QB.
It's just one scouts opinion but its interesting.

All I have to say is he looked better than Painter. Totally different situation, but I don't expect much out of a backup, and to watch Flynn not compeltely melt down and play horrible is more than i could wish for.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
