Post your reasons why you think one would be better than the other.

I think Matt Flynn is better than Tarvaris Jackson in all likelihood. This is a stupid poll.

T-Jack was an almost dead-on .500 QB. Flynn on this offense was a turnover machine waiting to happen. I went with T-Jack.

I hope so because it's a good comparison.

This is a stupid poll. Nobody knows what Matt Flynn would be like as a starter on this team. There's no way to know.

This is an OPINION poll Zeb. There doesn't NEED to be a way to know. I'm just asking what people think and WHY.

This is a setup. You said yourself you were going somewhere with this. You got me interested, lay it on us.

I mean I assume it has something to do with Tarvaris playing better than Russell, but at least from the eyeball test Russell looks a hell of a lot better.

Edit: And for the record, Josh Portis is indeed the correct answer, good call guys :th2thumbs:

I don't know what the point is getting at either, but I'll play. Flynn, no question about it.

This, and it probably isn't even close.

The only thing I would give TJ the edge on is being able to survive. I think we would have at least 2-3 more sacks per game with Flynn or TJ under center (less with Flynn than TJ though), and I think that TJ is tougher than Flynn. Even if Flynn started the season we may very well be running with RW now.

I'm waiting to here some good reasons WHY people think one would be better than the other. I'll "lay it on you" tomorrow after the poll has run its course. Patience paduwan :)

I'm a Jedi, like my father before me.

Anyway, I think Throw already exposed your plot. But it's ok, I'll wait.

He is simply removing Russell Wilson from the formula or the Wilson vs Flynn bias people have. Then when you can not logically explain WHY w/ factual evidence Flynn would be better than TJax he will prove the Flynn believers forever wrong. He will show people just want to believe in Flynn w/ out any evidence.

I forgot to give my reasons. To play by the rules my reason is that I felt T-Jack has shown his entire ability and there was no upside left. Flynn is still an unknown and therefor the upside is an unknown.

Purely my opinion and only my opinion, no facts involved or implied...
Flynn starts and we are 6-1 right now.
