    Apparently Flynn either couldn't wait to get here or has insomnia.

    Everything I have read about Flynn is he is a hard worker. Hoping it is a when and not an if.

    “He’s got a trainer over there (in Destin) and I’m sure he’s working out every day,” Owens said. “Matt doesn’t take a day off.”

    Like I've said in every thread that's discussed Matt Flynn...

    Although I'm not convinced after only 2 starts, if Joe Philbin is and if Joe Philbin WANTS him...then Ireland and Ross BETTER make this happen.

    I can see the headlines now:

    "Matt Flynn is no Peyton Manning"

    "Flynn is in but that's not good enough"

    "Dolphins have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, in March"

    "Flynn given Kevin Kolb money"

    "Flynn is a system quarterback and so is Aaron Rodgers"

    "Tim Tebow could be next"

    Totally agree. I just wonder how much say Philbin has in final personnel decisions. If Philbin is tailoring our offense after Green Bay's and will put his job on the line saying Flynn is the guy, it makes me a little more comfortable with signing him.

    I am not a big Flynn fan, but he would be a good backup to Matt Moore. Hopefully the Dolphins don't waste a lot of money signing him, because it is obvious that not a lot of other teams are really that interested in him. I think the long term answer at the QB position for the Dolphins will still be playing college football next season, because I don't see Moore or Flynn being the long term solution for the Dolphins.

    Actually per Ben Volin, who is doing quite a job in free agency I must say.

    Peter King is suggesting a fair deal for Flynn would be 3 years, $20 million, $8 million guaranteed. I can't see that right now, but man....if Jeff Ireland & Co could pull that off....

    I am all for Flynn coming in here. If Philbin thinks he can play, then until shown otherwise, I am going with the coach on this. Wish there was a larger sample size of NFL work to draw from, but we'll have to deal with it.

    I think this is far too much money for someone who has been a backup for the last four years. Matt Moore has started many more games than Flynn and he didn't sign for anywhere close to this amount of money last year. Other than the Seahawks, no other team appears to have an interest in signing Flynn and I'm not even sure the Seahawks are that interested. I think the Dolphins should try to sign Flynn for the same money they signed Moore for last year. I think it is very likely Moore will beat Flynn out for the starting job, so it would be absurd to guarantee Flynn eight millions dollars.

    The reason the Dolphins are in the cap situation they are at this time is because they have continued to overpay for mediocre talent. It is ridiculous that a team which has gone 20-28 over the last three seasons have spent so much money to achieve this losing record.

    He has been the back up the last 4 years for...who again?

    Yeah. Exactly.

    Would you start him?

    Seriously people. I understand your opinions about camp competition or letting Moore start.... but once you realize the FO doesnt want Moore to lead the helm this will be easier for you to grasp... I personally like Moore but its just not going to happen. Flynn is our best option atm. Although all of our options pretty much suck until proven otherwise

    Why not, they are certainly in need of a backup QB at this time? I don't see a lot of teams in the NFL beating down Flynn's door to sign him. In fact the Cleveland Browns would rather stick with Colt McCoy at QB than try to sign Flynn. I happen to think Matt Moore is a better NFL QB than Colt McCoy, so it certainly won't surprise me if the Dolphins do sign Flynn, Moore ends up being the better QB and Flynn ends up as the backup.

    2 games over 2 seasons compared to 13 games in one season is not a fair comparison.

    Cleveland has the draft position to not really NEED to beat down flynns door, per se. The fact of the matter is we are talking to him about a starting spot. Period. THE FO DOESNT WANT MOORE STARTING..........they have said it PUBLICLY.

    NOT TO MENTION.... obviously a lot of teams don't know much about Flynn....only a select few have some REAL inside information about if hes a bang or a bust.....like...for example.....oh..i don't know...maybe our HC that worked with him for 4 years?

    Ofcourse other teams are hesitant. THEY should be. but if our HC says pull the trigger then....well at this point in the phins offseason..
    YOU DO.

    Other teams not going After Flynn should be a more of a given understanding than a negative message.

    I certainly understand that the FO would sign Flynn with the expectations that he would be the starter. Of course this is the same front office that thought Henne was the answer at the QB position. When all is said and done, it is about winning football games. I happen to think that the Dolphins would win more games with Moore at QB than with Flynn as the teams QB.

    Personally I think Moore and Flynn are both nothing more than quality backups in the NFL. I just happen to think Moore is better than Flynn and neither of them are good enough to be the long term starters for this or any other NFL team. You are correct, all our opinions do suck and if Flynn signs, he will certainly be given the opportunity to prove me wrong and his supporters right. If they sign Flynn. I know he will be the projected starter, but that doesn't mean that the signing of Flynn is a good idea. IMO

    Everyone would be fine with that. But typically that's not how it works with that position in free agency.

    Then again, we're seeing some shorter deals (Soliai) as agents are anticipating the big 2014 cap increase, exchanging short-term risk with the team for potential future benefits.

    Just as you say that Flynn doesnt have enough proof that he will be the better starter,

    You don't have enough proof that he WONT be the better starter, starting in a new system that he has worked in for 4 years with a HC he knows. ....as opposed to Moores.....None.

    It works both ways in that spectrum.
     
  33. How about if we compare Moores best 2 games to Flynns?

    Here and there
    You dont think that the coaching staff looked at film of Moore with Ireland and came to the conclusion that they feel Moore isnt the answer? If they did then why chase Flynn when they could have tried to sign Henne or sign someone who is going to be cheaper to back up Moore? You think Cleveland knows more about Flynn than Philbin who has coached him for 4 years? Wow LOL

    I disagree, because I don't think that there are any quality starting QB's in this draft after Luck and RG3. I don't see Tannehill, Weeden , or any of the other QB's in this draft being effective starters in the future. So if Flynn is the future star that many on here seem to think he will be. It would make sense for the Browns to try and sign Flynn and use their two first round picks and second round pick to upgrade other positions.

    Mike Holmgren, someone who knows a great deal about the QB position in the NFL, obviously isn't impressed enough with Flynn to even bring him in for an interview.

    I am very aware that the FO does not want Moore as the starter next year. I am not happy with the prospect him being the starter either, since I view him as nothing but a quality backup in the NFL. I just don't see Flynn as being an upgrade over Moore, no matter what the FO might want me to believe. You have a lot more faith in the new HC than I do. The last five head coaches of the Dolphins have made me quite jaded when it comes to just accepting that they actually know what they are doing when it comes to signing or drafting a quality starting QB.
