It's interesting to see the parallels between Tom Brady's career at Michigan and Matt Flynn's career at LSU. Both guys had to wait to get their shot, though Brady started 2 years and Flynn only 1. Both guys had to spend time rotating with a more highly-touted recruit (Drew Henson/Ryan Perrilloux). Both guys were in balanced, borderline-conservative offenses where QB's didnt really put up big passing #'s. Neither guy was considered a star despite team success - Brady beat Alabama in the Orange Bowl his senior year and Flynn obviously won a ring. And so both guys fell to the bottom of the draft -Brady in the 6th and Flynn in the 7th.

Unfortunately for Matt, the comparison ended in college...

and Matt was behind JaMarcus, right? I know RP got a few snaps in the last season, but Id hardly call it a rotation...
