Well, if they need a spare million or two to extend Kam or another player, it does free that up. It is also possible that by the time their third date with Flynn came around, they had discovered they just didn't like him as much as they had at first.pehawk":2yyzv2e9 said:Scottemojo":2yyzv2e9 said:This team was good enough to win half the games where Wilson was handcuffed by playcalling more conservative than a Saudi girl's dress.

Agreed.
But trading Flynn now, gains this team nothing. It risks quite a bit, but gains it zero. Yes, alot of teams have bad backup QB's, but thats because they have to. Seattle doesn't have to.
Thats why I beleive the move is all about giving Flynn a chance, nothing else. It's just a move you dont make otherwise; as I said no gain and all risk (this year).
It must've been Russell 'The separation is in the defecation' Wilson.Scottemojo":lqs9b548 said:Flynn looked like somebody pooped in his mouth.

That stuff will only come from the people who thought Flynn was starting material in the first place. I think that if we kept Flynn and Wilson went down for an extended stretch, that we're just as screwed in that scenario as we would be with Tyler Thigpen or Terrell Pryor or some other journeyman as our backup.

I really, really, really wish he'd never had that game. It's clouded a lot of judgement on him.

I would hope sense their taking future picks that the raiders would give up a 3rd or 4th next year plus a future pick in 2014 and next year the Raiders could be picking 1st overall so i don't think its bad better than a late rounder this year.
