What is Matt Flynn Worth to the Redskins

[That Guy]

is RG3 a safe bet? no. is bradford? is flynn? is sanchez?

If I was choosing among those four, I'd try flynn, grubbs and a FA WR, draft the best available (though an OT and CB would be prefered and maybe a 2nd tier QB).

I'd be on board with that plan.

I think a clear plan of any sort always beats just winging it out there on draft day, but I wouldn't write off RG3, Bradford, and Sanchez as being basically the same thing as Flynn. Flynn played one year in college plus two games in the pros. And his college numbers at LSU don't support the illusion that are his pro stats in those two starts. Schaub's did, and that's the big difference between him. Having the college career to support the limited sample size in the pros is really important.

I really like RG3, and don't really think Bradford and Sanchez profile as no. 1 QBs at this stage of their careers, but that's different than Flynn who has been and actually still is a no. 2 guy, and is the oldest option of the bunch. If Flynn actually profiled as a number one, you'd see the Packers franchise him and then try to trade him. And that would make him by far the least appealing option of the four.

I think Griffin profiles as a no. 1 QB in the NFL as a rookie. Would you be playing a rookie? Sure. But that seems like a lot better of an option than selling the farm for Flynn just because the QB position is a weakness.

I'm not saying they're all the same, just that none of those options are nearly as safe as say, signing drew brees or drafting luck would be. sanchez is the only one i'd be REALLY mad about, and i do agree that paying someone $8mill+ on the hope they work out isn't as appealing as getting RGIII from a cap/efficiency standpoint.

If we want RGIII or luck, we're going to have to trade up most likely though, and if we trade down we might miss the 2nd tier guy we'd like... we're bad enough that I'd rather not have a 2nd tier prospect. so if you can't get RGIII or bradford for sure, there better be a FA already in the fold. if they whiff on a QB in the draft, paying out the ... will pretty much be the only option beyond stinking it up again with rex next year.


btw, we should sign victor cruz :P just saying...
