Jets working out Matt Flynn

[Love The Drake]

I had a feeling this was going to happen.
Cant blame Flynn though he has a chance to play meaningful games there.
Here only if Brady suspension stands and Grap goes down or disappoints.
Goodbye Flynn.

I think Matt Flynn could be a very good QB. Not sure if even he could pull it off in the circus over there, but he's got a lot better chance than any of the other bozos they have at QB.

I still don't understand why Flynn had to be released so soon. Afraid of harming JG's confidence?

My guess would be, he just can't play, and there's no reason to pay him what he's making.

 

[Froob]

Isn't Flynn hurt...?

Flynn would immediately be the best QB on their team.

With the running game they have ... you make a good point.

The Jets can shelf him and play him when healthy its a no brainer move just wish we didnt assist them with it.
If Flynn has a strong game against us resulting in a loss the talking heads will go nuts.
Especially if Jimmy has to play meaningful snaps and cost us losses.

Not saying he will i think we can win games with him.

Why?

What makes you say that?

His 3-4 career record? His 85 rating? His 17 to 11 TD/INT ratio?

Just because he "almost" beat the Patriots once, he's gotten an awful lot of run from that, and made himself a ton of money.

How many backups sport a better TD/INT ratio? How many Jets starters do?

Ryan Fitzpatrick does. He was better just a year ago.

And Geno Smith is only in his third year, and showed some signs of progress a year ago. Especially against the Patriots.

Matt Flynn is 30, never been active for a whole season except for since 2009, and lost out on 3 starting jobs in the last two years.

He's this generation's Scott Mitchell. Or Billy Volek, remember that bum? If I have to pick one QB between Fitzpatrick and Flynn to start for the Jets against the Patriots? I'm picking Flynn every time.

Thanks for the correction on Fitzpatrick, I thought it was worse.

 

[Love The Drake]

As long as he doesnt play like Jay Fiedler when he was in his prime im good.
Fiedler gave us fits and always seems to be up to his game against us.

Fitzpatrick is a little artificially inflated though - he got to play the Colts twice.

 

[neuronet]

Damn I like Flynn, don't want to have to dislike him.

Until someone punches him in the mouth.

Whereas Geno Smith was initially out 6-10 weeks, Flynn would be out 2 years.
