Sooo...what's your point?????????


Thanks for asking. The poster I responded to seemed enamored with the career earnings of Matt as a backup. I simply pointed out that while he earned those as a career backup, he signed his big contract with the expectation of being the starter. That’s why his career earnings are disproportionate to his career starts.

I’m a big fan of Matt’s and am glad he got paid. Was simply pointing out a reason for the high earnings.

Yep he went in for the Packers and threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns. He then made bank.

His most notable contract was a three-year, $26 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks in 2012. However, he didn't secure the starting quarterback position in Seattle, losing out to rookie Russell Wilson."


One of my dream jobs is QB with enough potential to sign a big contract, but then under-perform, ride the pine, and collect $$$.

The other is a failed SEC football coach. Sign a multi-year contract with a huge buyout, fail miserably and get fired after one season, head to the house, and enjoy all the $$$.

This was in reference to Jamarcus, not Matt Flynn.
