7th round Pick that beats out a second rounder from that same class and has a record breaking game is overachieving given his natural talent limitations


John Madden broke it down on sirius, saying that good teams would be better served by having a QB like flynn because he's more of a system guy. Bad teams, like the raiders need a playmaker qb, more like a Pryor who can make shite happen when the play falls apart. I thought that was fair.

Rotoworld hates Flynn. They keep saying he has the weakest arm in the L and can't throw the ball 25 yards down field. Keep calling him "noodle arm", "embarrassingly weak armed", etc.

he'll never win any long distance throwing competitions but when healthy his arm is plenty strong enough. he has arm problems though.

That would make sense. I didn't remember his arm being that weak from his LSU days

Picking a qb over 1 avg performance over backups can kill a franchise. I love a team that did this when Johnson had a good game against backups of colts in week 16.

Is this even fricking English? I really don't get what you're trying to say.

When they hate someone, they HATE someone. They are relentless

They hate Pryor too, or atleast they did until he backed into competing with Matt Flynn

They were downright mean to Mike Jenkins, he must have fricked their gfs or something

They really do. They tore Alf Morris up last year after the Saints game. Kept saying his big game was due to the Saints' D, that he was a plodder who only got what was blocked, replacement level runner, etc. Lester still gives me a hard time for posting it on the fantasy board

It's funny how so many take the opinions as gospel when it really is just a few guys' opinions. I read the first part then form my own opinion.

If Daniel Thomas somehow has a big year, they will have to eat a lot of crow they get mad when reports of him being a rotational back come out

And theres also this....

NFL.com's Michel Silver says there are voices in the Raiders organization who believe Matt McGloin gives them the best chance to win. McGloin was a walk-on at Penn State and went undrafted in April. It's still conceivable that he's more NFL-ready than Terrelle Pryor and has better skills than noodle-armed Matt Flynn. The Raiders' quarterback situation is clearly the worst in the league -- light years behind the Jets and Jags.

I ain't going to lie. If I had all of his money, I think I would feel all right. Hold the clipboard for a few years then go coach some little ones or something.

I am sure flynn is laughing all the way to the bank. besides he could be matt damon's stunt double. pryor will wind up hurt from a shitty offensive line, screwed by his agent, and bankrupt.

What is this statement even referring to?
Can't possibly be referring to Flynn's GB game against Detroit.
