We've been spoiled when it comes to watching our QBs play.
Rodgers can chuck the thing 70 yards in the air.
A 7th rounder making his first tentative steps of regular season play shouldn't be anywhere near as accurate or fast.
Yet he looked ok. My guess is that if Flynn had a cannon of an arm he wouldnt have lasted to the 7th round.

You never know. Brady only got picked in the 6th round. Brees fell to the 2nd because of his heigth and his 'considerable lack of arm strength'. Usually, some strength and conditioning on the pro level will do you wonders. Or just getting in another offense.
Flynn threw some lasers in that game. He might not have Rodgers' arm strength, but he was easily getting the range he needed on those deep passes. They where just off target. Something which really isn't that weird when you sit on the bench during games and mainly run the scout team during practice.
Like Greg said, as well. The long one to Driver was just some miscommunication. Something that's bound to happen when you just step off the bench while not getting a whole lot of reps with the first team. For someone who's in the situation he's in, he seemed very well prepared and ready to play to me.
I would love to see some more from him next week. And hopefully with Driver and Jennings, as well, so we can really asses his talent a little.
After we have Rodgers getting Driver over 1000 (996) yards and Jennings over 1100 (1084), that is.
Yes, I care about stuff like that.
