he played almost the entire game last week against a bad defense.
Rodgers is arguably the best QB in the league for what he has done with that running game and oline

i meant as the starter, guess i should have specified better.
i think getting the week to prepare will make a big difference. too bad he will be facing arguably the best team in the league.

they are average defensively. As a Saints fan, i hope flynn starts. It would be a crime if Rodgers didn't play with the playoffs on the line

I'd laugh if they win. Flynn will be the talk of the town.

Huge if Flynn starts and has an outstanding game. So many teams need a quarterback and from all accounts, he is one of the more solid backups in the league.

based on what?
I'm not saying that he isn't, but there isn't really any evidence to back this up

If he doesn't play it won't be his decision. This is his second concussion this season, and the NFL doesn't play around anymore when it comes to that. It's not like he has a sprained ankle here.

I do remember the sportscasters in the preseason proclaiming Flynn was "possibly the best backup QB" in the league. I love Flynn, and I'm not saying there's a lot of hard evidence for it, just saying i've definitely heard this before...

He may not be the best backup quarterback in the league but he is the best ex LSU Quarterback in the league. ;)

You really can't decide too much on Flynn after last week-he's a back-up in the NFL which means he hardly ever sees the field. In the NFL you make these backups sit the bench sometimes even with a comfortable lead and expect them to come in and run the team as if it was no big deal? What you expect? You have to let them play for a bit.

there was an article that came out during the preseason quoting various unnamed NFL people that stated this

Pats defensive line, except for Wilfork, is banged up very badly right now, so that will be one thing working in Matt's favor.

Huck, thought you might be interested in NESN's (Boston sports website) interview this morning with Bill Huber of PackerReport regarding Matt Flynn and how he is expected to perform against the Patriots Sunday night:
"NESN: Head coach Mike McCarthy has given some ominous news on Aaron Rodgers' status, so what type of scouting report could you give us on backup quarterback Matt Flynn?
B.H.: First, some history: Flynn took over at LSU after JaMarcus Russell went No. 1 overall to Oakland. All he did was lead the Tigers to the national championship during his only year as the starter. So, the guy knows how to play. The Browns wanted him during the offseason to be their starter, but the Packers wouldn’t listen to any offers.
I think I was the only guy in the media to be tough on Flynn after the Detroit game. He blew a few chances to make plays that might have led to a different outcome. With that said, now that he’ll have a week's worth of practice reps, that obviously will help with the timing with his receivers.
As for the scouting report: Decent arm, decent mobility, but a real gamer. He won't wow anyone with his skill-set, but he knows how to play."
Nice review for our man Flynn - and did you catch that statement about the Browns wanting him to be their starter?
I'm a lifelong Patriots fan, so can't root for him to pull an upset - that said, I hope MF has an impressive game on offense, but Pats win because Brady has an even better one.
