Petey can have Seneca Wallace 2.0 all they want. Their future is with Flynn.

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.


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.

I do think Flynn is going to get the starting job just because Seattle paid so much for him, but it sounds like Russell Wilson may get a shot if Flynn comes out looking less than perfect.

How do you know that Seattle's future is with Flynn and why are some of you so afraid of Flynn having a little competition for the starting job?

So I guess this makes him a better qb than Rodgers or Favre with this logic. Come on man you better than that.

actually it doesn't follow that logic at all

his response:

yeah flynn only has the GB record for yards in a game against a playoff team


All that shows is that you can't say a rookie QB is more talented because of 1) what he did in college in a weak Big 10/ACC conference 2) what he's done in 1 half of football in an NFL preseason game, over a guy who is a 4 year NFL vet, all as backup to arguably the best QB in the league, and has had a game in which he set Packers records against a playoff team and in another start thrown for 251 yards and 3 TDs against the New England Patriots in 2010. I think it's ignorant to say Russell Wilson is more talented than Flynn right now. And stating the records he set does not follow the logic that he must be better than Aaron Rogers and Brett Favre. It follows the logic that he's proven much more than Russell Wilson has to this point.

Also, another knock n Wilson going into the draft was the fact he'd never been a pocket QB. How many successful option QBs have we seen fail at the next level? plenty. Sure his height was an issue, but that wasn't the only reason he wasn't a 1st round pick.

It's the 4th preseason game. They are sitting Flynn to keep him from getting injured. He will be the starter.

I think it is more to see what Wilson can do with and against the 1's. He has looked great, but hard to tell if he is better playing against scrubs.

I think some of you are throwing out false hope and making it sound like the performances between Flynn & Wilson are miles apart when they are not. Sure I'd like to see Flynn start the season. But, R. Wilson is no scrub.

Yes he's in trouble. He has Pete Carroll as his coach and a team of retreads around him. He would have been better off signing a one year deal to stay in Green Bay.

yeah he should have remained a backup instead of signing a 27 million dollar contract Green bay wouldn't have come close to matching

I have no idea who will start. However, the talking heads on NFL and ESPN talk as if Flynn is the starter. I suppose if Wilson lights it up as the starter this week things could change. There are several starters around the league that have been less impressive than Flynn.
It appears that the Sea Hawks are in desperate need of receivers.
