I believe that was also one of the top ranked rushing teams in the NFL. A good run game takes a lot of the pressure off the QB.
Cassel played pretty good for NE when he had a chance against a really weak schedule. He's also played pretty good for KC. He hasn't been consistent. I never said Flynn was the reason the system was successful. I said the system has proven to be very successful and Flynn has 4 years in it so he knows it very well. He has also done very well when given the opportunity to play in it. Given that the Fins new coach is likely going to implement that same offensive system, Flynn is a great fit.
My point is simply that Flynn has barely played. Hard to say he's going to be this, that, or the other until he's really been given a chance.
He has shown very positive signs of success in that system. He broke the Packers single game passing yards record. They've had a couple of decent QB's in there history ... Of course you can't say with certainty that he'll be good or great, but I'd be more comfortable betting on him than any rookie QB in that system.
I didn't say that doesn't mean he wasn't good, just saying he isn't guaranteed to be great. Included with the fact that he didn't have a ton of success as a qb in college.
Who is saying he's guaranteed to be great? College success doesn't mean much in the NFL. Tim Tebow, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, the list goes on and on.
Good to see that we've all set our sights on second place and have conceded the division to the Patriots every single year.
No. Feeley was a snap taker that one 5-game stretch when he filled in for an injured McNabb. Feeley was not the reason why the Eagles stayed afloat. Flynn, on the other hand, actually played very well when called upon to play. There is no comparison between Feeley in Philadelphia and Flynn in Green Bay. You need to examine guys like Matt Hasselbeck, Mark Brunell, and Trent Green. They were all backups who became quality starters with new teams after several years of being a backup somewhere else.
