Green Bay Packers Report Cards, Player Grades

Career stats and more

3) Expectations coming into the season:  Flynn was the charismatic veteran that had the trust of Rodgers and the coaching staff and used his knowledge of the offense to win the backup job.

4) Player’s highlights/low-lights: In limited action, Flynn’s highlight was going 2 for 2 with 26 yards as the Packers throttled Philadelphia. His lowlight was in a home game vs. Minnesota. He threw a pick on the Packers’ 26 that should’ve never been thrown.

5) Player’s contribution to the overall team success: Basically a clipboard coach. He knew he wasn’t going to play much, but his main role was to make the position as a whole better while making the transition for Scott Tolzien easier.

6) Player’s contributions in the playoffs: N/A.

7) Intangibles: He’s a trusty veteran that has lost lot of zip on his fastball. He not only has played his last season with the Packers, but his final season as a pro.

  1. Yep. Could have issued incomplete grades due to small sample size. Could have been lower, too.

  3. I think Matt should be proud that he was part of Packers and he built in his few very good performances in different games. Unfortunately for him, he is not at the necessary level any more. But, I’m sure his efforts and his intention was to serve Packers the best he can and he did it. Thank you for that. Matt, I wish you all the best….

  4. Time to move on. Give Tolzien his shot at #2 and draft a QB to develop behind Tolzien as the #3. Thanks, Since ’61
