Seattle and Miami will not be giving up on their qbs so easily. Both need legit wrs in the draft and the qb numbers will get better.

Raiders could cut Palmer and keep Campbell as a backup,

Broncos could go with Flynn and Tebow as backup/HB.

Redskins need a qb right now and seem like the most likely team.

Now Miami might get RG3 in the draft because STL has their QB of the future and the Colts will be getting Luck.
Browns are another team that could go RG3/Flynn

Well I hope I don't have to hear all the crap about Flynn being only an average qb on the rant anymore.

Seattle doesn't have much invested in T. Jackson and I could easily see them moving on. He is pretty awful and doesn't show signs of ever being more than a bottom of the league starting QB. On the other hand, the Raiders gave up a 1st and 2nd rounder to acquire Palmer so there is absolutely no way they cut him. Broncos aren't going to give up Tebow just yet even though they probably should. If they bring in a QB it will be through the draft or possibly one that can compete with Tebow for starting spot. Pretty sure that Flynn will want a team where he is going to start from day 1 without having to beat someone else out.

For some reason I just don't see Flynn going to an NFC team.

I think his top possible destinations are:

1. Kansas City - Get ready for the buzz to build as soon as they name their HC, OC, etc... Pretty sure the Cassel experiment is over and KC's decision-makers LOOOOOVES to collect LSU talent (currently 4 former-Tigers on their 53-man roster). IMO - They've got some skill position talent in place but their O-Line needs some re-tooling.

2. Miami
- They don't seem to be an organization interested in taking the "draft and develop" route when it comes to their QB of the future. Situation similar to KC as far as personnel is concerned.

3. Cleveland - Not sure if they'll go the Draft or FA route... but there will be AT LEAST two "legit" QBs pushing Dizzy McCoy down the depth chart next season.

4. Denver - I bet Elway's already got Matt on his radar. Flynn's got the "likeability factor" and "intangibles" he'll need to ween his fan base off of Tebow.


On the NFC side - I think the only teams I could see making a move are the Redskins and Cardinals.

I think so too. It'd be pretty cool to see him reunited with Early Doucet and Peterson. As a matter of fact, I can't think of any NFL team with 2 former Tigers on it at the top of my head besides Arizona. I'm sure there is one team though

Oh nice, thanks. I knew there were teams with more than 2, just couldn't think of one with 2 standouts at the top of my head. I should of said that instead of just former LSU players in general.

I would love to see Matt in a Tampa Bay Buc uniform, except in good conscience, with the Bucs ownership (not going away) and coaching staff (temporary probably), I wouldn't wish that situation on anyone.

I'm with you, I believe it will be Seattle, Washington, or Miami. I think that the Browns like Mccoy. The problem is not Colt over there, they just dont have any weapons. One thing is for sure, Matt will have plenty of interest after this performance. Even when he was behind JR at LSU I told friends and family that he would end up being a better QB than JR.

That's fine by me, I hate the Redskins, but is fairly clear you have never actually seen the young man play.

Yeah I'm an LSU alum who has never seen Matt Flynn play.

You're a failure.
