Stolen from MSB

quote:

Flynn's demotion is a strong statement by Allen. Oakland's front office gave up a draft pick and more than $6 million to acquire Flynn this offseason, and the coaching staff values him less than an undrafted rookie. Allen believes Flynn isn't even good enough to be a backup. General manager Reggie McKenzie also drafted Tyler Wilson in the fourth round. Wilson was released, and now resides on the practice squad.

"It is what it is. It didn't work out," Allen told reporters about Flynn's demotion.

If this was say the Patriots or the Steelers I would be concerned. But I just don't give much weight to the Raiders' opinions. They have been one of the worst franchises in football for at least the last ten years.

Jacksonville would probably love to have Flynn right now.

Wasn't he sacked 7 times Sunday? If that comes with the job, they can keep it.

Flynn looked good at times

he can play, one and done isn't fair

but with that horrible OL, a mobile QB is best option...

This just seems strange considering he worked his way up the depth chart, and had a couple of solid performances at Green Bay.

I wonder if his injury is more serious than the reports seem to indicate.

I didn't read the story, so I'm curious: did he also demote the offensive line to 3rd string?

frick it opt out go back to Green Bay. Oakland is a shite team to try and make it. Well, I mean demand a trade first if he is intent on keeping that contract.

Yeah. Because they are franchises that over the last ten years (or more historically) have shown the ability to consistently win i.e. they are actually good at evaluating their needs in order to win and stay relevant. The Raiders are the exact opposite of this.

Would you take Flynn over Gabbert? I know I would.

it's a toss up, probably Gabbert, while it's only 5, he does have some regular season wins

Put Flynn in as the starter for a couple of seasons and he would have at least five wins too.

Yeah. I'm not sure Manning, Elway, or Moon could succeed with that offensive line.... it's pretty offensive.

Pretty fricking harsh for one game where he played well in spots.. I agree he doesnt fit in their current system mainly because he needs to be able to run for his life while throwing to below average receivers with a running back who cant stay healthy longer than 2 quarter stretches.

Isn't Flynn in the Green Bay record book for top performance in a game, ever? The only one he started?
