pretty interesting how it would have played out if we had not drafted Tannehill last season. 2 QBs we've discussed over the last couple of seasons - Palmer and Flynn being re-shopped, which says something. Even though statistically, Palmer was fine last season, he really just looks unenthused when he's playing out there.
- traded for Matt Flynn in 2012 (cost more) or 2013 and ended up overpaying another average QB?
- trade for Palmer this season?
- sign one of the crappy QBs this offseason like Kevin Kolb or Fitzy? shudder at the mediocrity
- one bright spot could have been to draft Russell Wilson.
given the lack of good solutions this offseason, and the lack of impact QBs in the draft (maybe Barkley might pan out, but Brandt states in the article that he would have been drafted after Tannehill if they were both in the draft this year), I have to give Ireland some credit for selecting Tannehill.

Idc what anyone thinks, but I'd want Tebow at this point.

No one really knows how good Flynn is yet because he wasn't given a chance to play in Seattle.

Wait, so Matt Flynn being sold off for a bundle of draft picks is supposed to be taken as evidence that Seattle was stupid for signing him?

Don't really think that's worth the $8 million they gave him in 2012 to warm the bench.unluckyluciano and BigNastyDB13 like this. -
Matt Flynn is a perfect example of how when you get a chance to grab a smartly valued asset at that position you should usually steer toward grabbing it. That doesn't mean you have to stop investing in the position any more than Seattle did. Even if things don't quite work out, if he's worth his salt he's a sellable asset.Da 'Fins likes this. -
B) They paid him a total of $6 million. #cashflow
C) He warmed the bench in favor of a guy who had quite possibly the best rookie quarterback performance the NFL has ever seen.Steve-Mo likes this. -
I think it is fair to say that Ryan Tannehill over Matt Flynn was the best choice for Miami last offseason.
At the same time I think CK is right, the downside to Seattle signing Flynn really isn't all that bad. Teams should always be looking to add talent at the position, regardless of circumstance.eltos_lightfoot, DPlus47 and Da 'Fins like this. -

I stand corrected, it was $8 million.
What's being reported so far is a pick in 2013 and a conditional pick in 2014. The picks have not been identified. -

I don't. And I don't think the market does either. -
