Flynn has developed nicely, he will be the new Kevin Kolb, but actually good.
Does anyone think this hurts Rodgers MVP bid? It was largely assumed he was pretty much everything for the entire season. Now Flynn comes in and vs. a bitter rival and a playoff team fighting for seeding, goes for 480+ yards and 6 TDs on 70% completion rate, better than Rodgers has at any point this season.
QB controversy!
They might get a second for him now.
I'm a big Pack and Rodgers fan but he might've lost the MVP today. Sat out the game while Brees chucked his way into the TD lead for this season, Brady did his thing, and Matt Flynn ted on a (god awful) Lions defense.
LSU could have won 2-3 championships if Flynn started sooner over Jamarcus the Hut.
just goes to show you how replaceable Aaron Rodgers is. the dude fits into Green Bay's system well. nothing more, nothing less. you could plug virtually any decent NFL QB into Green Bay and that offense would still be damn good. its very similar to Brady in New England whenever they went 11-5 when he missed an entire season a couple years ago.
lol slow your horses son. Are you saying they would've won the SB last year with Flynn at the helm just because of this game?
no. I am saying this shows just how replaceable Rodgers is. Flynn came in and played better today than Rodgers has all season.
however the media declared Rodgers the MVP of the league back in preseason and have been campaigning for him ever since. so I'm sure he will still get the award even though he doesn't deserve it.

P. Manning MVP
well, maybe Brees
Brees and Brady definitely have an argument for the MVP. But to say Rodgers doesn't deserve it is plain hating. It's like calling Brees a stat-padder.
If he's replaceable shouldn't you think they'll be able to make a SB run with Matt Flynn? Since you've mentioned Rodgers and Brady having backups that performed well, should we wait for Brees' backup to have a chance at a great game in order to discredit him?
I was thinking of Brees when I wrote the question. They broke just about every record possible this year, he holds the advantage in several key statistical categories, and seeing Rodgers' backup destroy a playoff defense Rodgers previously did half as well against, I think Brees makes up a ton of ground, if not surpasses.
son its not hating. its truth and the stats show it. IMO ....
MVP of 1st half of season
1. Rodgers
2. Brees
3. Brady
MVP of 2nd half of season
1. Brees
.

.
2. Brady

3. Rodgers
Final Results should be
1. Brees
2. Brady
3. Rodgers
Personally I think the MVP should come down to more than just passing statistics (Brees) or team record (Rodgers). For me Brady has meant more for his team, especially with that god awful defense. While Brees is amazing and could win the MVP with no complaints, he chucks the ball more and has a higher powered offense.
Point is, I think all 3 guys have a good shot at MVP and at the end of the day. I won't be mad in either wins it, so I don't see any point in trying to bring one down to prop up another.
son if Brees was just chucking the ball then he would have a ty passing percentage, but he doesn't. he has a 71% completion percentage which is far better than both Rodgers and Brady which makes his numbers even more impressive. if he was just chucking and completing like 50-60% of his passes then you would have an argument, but that's simply not the case.
oh and all three teams have garbage defense. any given week one can be worse than the other. Brady more important to his team? wow really? ... should we bring up the 11-5 season the Patriots had when he was out injured?
lol son so do you think Matt Flynn and Matt Cassell can lead GB and NE to a SB run?
I guess you think Peyton Manning is the goat after this past season?
Son, why do you care so much about this award? Are you really gonna care if any of these 3 QBs get the award?
son who the knows for sure? none of us know what Flynn would be capable of if he had playing time. but the bottom line is that he played better today than Rodgers has the entire season and did it against a team fighting for playoffs.
why do I care? why do you care? son I have stated for months that the media declared Rodgers MVP way back in preseason and they have been campaigning for him ever since all the while ignoring the facts and stats. I have also said that he can have his award. we want another Super Bowl. however I'm not going to sit here and read some of the pure ignorance that has been posted on this board without responding to it.
I disagree. Flynn looked good, but there is no such thing as a plug and play system for QBs. It's the most important position in the NFL and there's a reason good QBs are rarely on bad teams.
Yeah right you don't care. You want that MVP so badly you'll actually bash Rodgers. Everyone here thinks it could go either way. Homerism at it's finest tbh.
son when did I say that I didn't care? I clearly stated why do I care, why do you care?
I post FACTS AND STATS. if you want to call that homerism then so be it, but you should first look in the mirror you hypocrite. you're one of the biggest homers on this board in the NBA forum. lozzzz
Oh, he shook.
Yeah facts and stats. Saying that Aaron Rodgers is a plug and play system QB is a fact/stat.![]()
so son you're saying that what Matt Flynn did today was nothing more than a fluke? Aaron Rodgers IS a plug and play system QB.
I'm not touching this post with a 20 foot pole.
because that is exactly what you're trying to say. that today was nothing more than a fluke. LOL at you too scared to admit what you really think.
Matt Flynn is a legitimately good QB. He played very well against the Patriots last year, if a team can get him for a 2nd rounder or so it'd be a good trade for them.
