Flynn didn't fail to win. Russell Wilson lit it up in preseason and Pete Carroll couldn't get over his hard-on for Russell so now he's starting. It would be foolish to trade or release him. That would leave us with a rookie and project QB at best to back him up.
Flynn is more than capable of...
I think with Wilson being named starter, we'll prob only see the first unit for a drive or two. Wouldn't be smart to risk injuries playing against Oaklands practice squad. However, this is Pete Carroll we're talking about and anything is possible.
How is Wilson going to come in with hurt finger and a blown ACL?! It'll be the beginning of the Josh Portis era in Seattle! I'm ordering my #2 jersey as we speak!!!
I don't want him to get seriously injured.... just a little tweaked pinkie on his left hand... only a couple weeks to recover. Just enough to take him out of the game and prevent him from starting week 1 :D
I feel awful for saying this, but I want Wilson to look horrible. Throw 2 picks, get sacked 4 times and maybe even hurt a finger on his non throwing hand. I'm serious, I feel bad, because I truly think he's going to be great for us, but he should not be our starter this year! Pete is crazy...
AZ defense isn't horrible. Not even close. They have a solid front 7. And even with shitty QB they can still get a 10 catch 130yard game out of Fitz any week. Plus, Peterson can always take one to the house on punt returns. I want our QB to be as prepared as possible.
Conspiracy theory time...
Pete to Flynn: "Matt we really want you to target TO. We want to see what he's got"
Pete to TO: "TO, need you to run the wrong routes and drop everything thrown your way"
My sentiments exactly. Give Flynn a 38 TO that's been here for less than two weeks and give Wilson a healthy Sidney Rice. And why rush Rice back?? It's not like ANYONE needs to see what he can do. But wants to make sure his guy looks good.
I guess I would feel better about all this if Pete had a better track record with QBs. Not only has he shown that he doesn’t know how to pick the right guy, historically, even established QBs seemed to have a decline after PC arrived.
