Because there is no contradiction on my part.
Maybe its because you feel that Flynn is the type of QB the Browns are looking for you see my post as a contradiction to your opinion?

But here is a fuller version of my opinion on why Flynn doesn't seem like a logical option for the Browns:

Many people suggest that Flynn is an option for the Browns.
I was pointing out that reason why I don't think that make sense:

(a) Flynn is going to get starters compensation. You don't pay starting level compensation to someone who is only brought in to compete. In short you don't pay starting money to someone that might end up the back-up.










(b) McCoy and Flynn have very similar physical skillset.
Why would any team go after the same type of QB they already have?

(c) During Holmgren's career he has drafted and traded many late round QBs like Flynn for draft picks. I doubt Holmgren values or perceives Flynn the way most fans or other teams perceive Flynn.

I agree with but "C" is what I wanted to reference, I still think your kinda right but if said QB has developed well into a really good QB after he left Holmgren I would think would realize that and might want him. Otherwise I agree with you. Their not going to pay 2 QBs starting money and sit one.

Plus I think with the Browns owner being infatuated with RGIII I think they make the trade and still have a 1st rounder to pick up a RB that they need bad. If the Rams are still simply wanting a one first and one second this year, a first and third next year.
