Without looking, I imagine that's pretty backloaded. Good for Matt. I hope he does well.

Best of luck Matt Flynn. =d>

This is the 2nd backup QB for us who will be starting for the Seahawks. The first one went on to have a pretty good career.

I bet that Tarvaris Jackson is just thrilled about this.

Coach Pete Carroll released a statement through the team regarding the acquisition:

"We are really excited to bring Matt in here to compete with Tarvaris."
-- Pete Carroll, Seahawks coach

I really liked Tarvaris, but the kid just could never quite put it together.

My guess at this point is that Jackson will start the season, but Flynn will end up as the starter.

There's not as big of a market for Seahawks paraphenalia, which imo might be one reason they were robbed of the Supebowl v Pittsburgh.

Still, you take what you can get. If the Phins were lowballing, I'd have done the same thing. Tough circumstance getting screwed by the Peyton Manning circus, but Flynn's beat odds before.

I'll be cheering for him. PFT says he'll have to "beat out" Tarvarus. LOL

The competition is over. The idea that Tarvaris Jackson is going to start over Matt Flynn is laughable. Jackson is an awful QB. I don't know what he has on some the pundits, but it has to be something. Flynn is clearly the man in Seattle. I think it's a good fit. You have Sidney Rice, Zach Miller, and Marshawn Lynch in place. I'm skeptical about Lynch after landing a long-term deal, but we'll see how it goes. I think this is probably the best place for Flynn to get into the postseason, assuming Peyton Manning stays in the AFC.

That is what "did in" Chilly, far more than all the other b.s. cited by most Vikes fans, imo-

T.J.'s inconsistency hosed Colonel Klink, who is probably a better coach than anyone thinks. I know he is a smart man that did some "dumb things". Those dumb things would have been left without so much scrutiny if Jackson had panned out better. I personally do not blame Chilly for trying. I saw it to my satisfaction in Jackson.

As to the signing- If Bush hits the trail, the Pack should get a 3rd rd. compensatory. This deal wasn't sweet enough for Flynn for that to happen for the Pack.

Some members may know I want that to happen. I don't want that motherfucker in coverage anymore. I do watch sometimes. (lol, Kev)

QBs don't change their character. If he isn't an accurate QB to start with, he never will be one. Specially with athletic and highly mobile QBs. If they don't also have accuracy, the athleticism can hide the problem. But in the long run, accuracy is what makes a QB. Mobile or not.
