To tell you the truth, I don't have a clue what is going to happen when Smith is healthy. I won't be stunned if any of the top 3 are gone. Think right now Petty is the only one who is safe

I was thinking the same thing. That would be predicated on Fitz absolutely being horrid, but Petty is the only one who we can truly 100% assume will be on the roster Week 17.

i think it's not just filling in for geno until he comes back. It's also insurance in case fitz gets injured. Flynn would be the only thing standing between petty and nick mangold's butt in that case.

Wait...that didn't come out right...
Manwich!

Meh.... I thought he was marginal even at LSU.
I guess when your options are this guy or a Jugs machine, you take him

yep, he's all that's out there.

Actually his stats aren't horrible. 17 TD's 11Picks, 85 rtg. At one time he was a hot item.

Like ya said better then a Jugs machine.........................I hope

If this guy ever sees the field, we know the season is over. He is a cut as soon as Smith is healthy. There is a reason he was on the street

Agree, he's really here in case Fitzpatrick gets hurt

Fitz is playing 2 quarters this week and 2 quarters and 1 drive the following week. if he went down in those 4+ quarters, Jets would be hurting. I agree, Flynn is here just in case that happens.

Nooooooot quite.
Flynn, while not possessed of a big arm, is incredibly aware of his surroundings in the pocket and quite accurate in the dink&dunk semi-WCO played by both GB & SEA.
HYATT™ suspects there will be a lot of those WCO elements present in Bowles' playbook for The Amish Rifle - they certainly would have helped GeNOT.

The REASONS Matt Flynn didn't beat out Russell Wilson in SEA and anyone else in OAK or BUF, is because he was suffering a long-lingering tendinitis in his throwing elbow during his UFA period.
When he came back to GB in 2013, he was very productive, pulling out a game against MIN to a tie, losing to DET, making a 2nd half comeback from (26-3) to win against DAL and then losing a squeaker to PIT (38-31).
He may not have the big arm, but he CAN play, and play well in this league.

New England cut him this year because he had a hammy issue and couldn't pass their physical after being signed.

You can ask questions about Flynn's physical readiness & his arm strength, but HYATT™ would caution against questioning his brain and ability to be a win-sustaining NFL QB.
He's a ballsy QB who will make plays and can move around quite well if there is pressure on the pocket.
With a defense as good as the one in New Jersey, Flynn can get you to, and win in, the playoffs - IF he can stay healthy.

At least we have two capable veteran QB's available. Its a much better situation than we have been in over the last 6+ years.

There's probably a good chance that he wins the starting job altogether, Fitz has been terrible and Geno is a punk.
