Pete Carrol has already screwed Matt Flynn. The quarterback is the leader of the franchise. Flynn was paid $27 million to come in and be that guy. But from day 1 Pete Carrol has not given the team over to Flynn. Flynn can't be expected to lead the team when the head coach keeps dangling his job over to a rookie that played one good half of exhibition football against people trying to make a team. (I argued a little different for Jarrett Lee because he is just trying to make the team, not be a starter) Matt Flynn's first exhibition game he played pretty darn well. I think he completed his first 7 passes. The starters only played about 3 series and that was it. If Terrell Owens doesn't drop a touchdown pass in his belly in game 2, Flynn's numbers from that game aren't so bad.

I hope Russell Wilson breaks his leg and when Pete Carrol turns to Flynn, Matt just says, "Nah, I've got my $27 million, put in Tavaris Jackson."

(I know that all of Flynn's money isn't guaranteed, but the point is he's getting screwed badly here)

So I guess this makes him a better qb than Rodgers or Favre with this logic.


Yes. And you forgot Bart Starr.

Who ever puts the most butts in the stands will be the winner. If it is Wilson, good for him.

Is there a video of that long pass from Flynn to TO. It appeared that the pass was longer than I thought Flynn could throw.

Two passes from Flynn to TO that went through his hands would have meant a lot to his stats/ performance.

he was 0-5 to Owens, including a couple where Owens ran the wrong route. Carroll sounded like he knew this wasn't a big deal.

Pete's said from the start that the starting QB job has to be earned by anyone
