... but see James Jones... he's FA market was a lot smaller than Packers fans thought it'd be... and many though he wasn't gonna be back because he'd be offered too much. He's played and show a lot more than Flynn has.. and he's back. Could happen to Flynn too.

Teams throw around money pretty liberally to QBs. Good ones are hard to get, so if anybody out there thinks Flynn has a realistic chance at being a good one, he'll be rich whether he ends up earning it or not. I can't imagine that the Packers would match an offer for him from a team giving him a chance to compete for a starting job, because I figure the contract offer would be for quite a bit of money.

Tarvaris Jackson is starting and getting 4 million a year.

Flynn doesn't have a track record which normally isn't seen as good he's probably going to be getting closer to Wallace numbers (if that) than Jackson numbers.

How much do you think Thompson will pay a known (to the Packers) back-up, is the question... he paid Poppinga and Chillar good money to back-up LB spots... why not a more important position of QB?

Why ruin a good thing, we won the SB with Flynn as back-up, why mess with chemistry or whatever by adding a guy like Gerrard?

I seriously doubt the chemistry of this team is so tenuous that changing the backup quarterback would disrupt it.

No thanks.. not that I think Garrard is a rube or anything.. but nothing in his playing days suggest that he can handle the complexity of a MM offense.. and we have kept Flynn on the roster for a reason and that is he can.. see example last season in his first ever start.

Still can't believe a market didn't materialize for Flynn this preseason.. either way that is good for the Packers.. they retain both he and Harrell at this point.

I think Ted Thompson has decided that what he gets in the supplemental draft will not be that much less than what he would get in a trade. There only about six teams that could use Flynn. They are not good teams so I don't think they want to give up a high second but only a third or less. Ted Thompson maybe thinking he might get a third supplemental pick. As a QB Flynn should get a good contract. So on that basis it's worth keeping the security of Flynn.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

There is absolutely no way the Packers get a 3rd for Matt Flynn. Maybe a 4th, more most likely a 5th or 6th if anything. He was a 7th round selection and I think that factors into it too.

I was one of the few that thought David Garrard shouldn't have been given the job over Byron Leftwich when Del Rio made the change a few years ago. As talented as Garrard may be, I still think Leftwich is the better passer.

Garrard is a good QB, but he has no place on this team. Thompson didn't sign a single unrestricted free agent this season, and Garrard will definitely not be the first.

As for Flynn, he's definitely the backup. I'd love to trade the guy, but you'd think Thompson would've done it already.

If Thompson does trade Flynn, he will sign another QB. It just won't be Garrard.
