Would you trade up to get blackmon if you signed Flynn?
Nope, because Flynn is not a sure-fire franchise QB. We'd still need to get a young gun at #6 or higher.

Maybe the Rams will be taking Blackmon at #6
True dat. Let me restate then: there's almost no chance that Blackmon falls to us at #6.

I am normally an advocate of cap-wise moves, but not when it comes to the Skins' next QB(s). The cap should be a non-factor.
I kind of agree. I mean there has to be some restraint and discipline, but compared to signing players at other positions there should be a LOT more flexibility with what the team is willing to spend.

What if we draft Dre Kirkpatrick with our 6th pick then pick up Brock Osweiler in the 2nd. Also pick up Payton Manning if he becomes available.
noooooooooooo. he won't be available anyway.

What if I push Shanny of a cliff for doing that? Who will coach then???

Peyton Manning's neck is also not available, so no dice.

I think I, along with the rest of us, are missing the key fact about Flynn. We all saw his TD performances against NE and the 6 TD's against the Lions. And after evaluations, the majority of us are saying 'oh thats all his receiver's, his talent, his scheme.' But the thing we seem to be missing is that he is Smart enought to get it to the right guy, the open guy, and he is Proven that he can grasp and get a hold of an offense and make the right decision.
Who knows how good he Could be if he gets a hold of the Shanahan's offense, and gets a great playmaking WR..
Didn't Jennings miss the last game? Put a bonafide #1 on the Skins and they have plenty of talent. Anyone think Fred Davis and Chris Cooley couldn't get their stat on playing for Green Bay? Who are their all-world running backs again? If Rex were their QB would anyone know Jordy Nelson's name?
Isn't their O-line, the same one that made Aaron Rodgers one of the most sacked QBs in the league just a few years ago, all banged up right now? What's their D ranked again? QB play is the difference maker on that team.
If all it takes for Flynn to play at his current level is talent, well then just go get Dwayne Bowe, draft WR and O-line early and often and pencil us in as NFC East champs next year;).
If Brees was playing in NO with Bowe, Hankerson, Moss, Gaffney, Davis, Cooley, Helu, Royster and Hightower would there be peeps bemoaning his lack of talent. No, they'd still be scoring 30 plus a game. He'd make Paul, Austin and Armstrong viable fantasy options.
With a good QB and some additional parts on Offense, there's no reason the Skins couldn't drastically improve their Offensive production. And with 9 draft picks and free agency, there's no reason to believe they won't get the pieces they need. For the record, I'm in the get Flynn AND draft a rookie high camp. Hell, get another one late for good measure. Cover all the bases, hedge your bets!
