I don't know if he has an NFL future. It's hard to say when he is playing against nothing but undrafted free agents. However, he can't help who is on the field for the other guys. He has made the most of his opportunities tonight. Including some really nice throws into tight coverage.

He looked about as good as I can expect him to look.

BTW, the Packers definitely recovered that fumble and got it taken away at the bottom of the pile ;(

I thought Matt looked more comfortable than I would've expected him to. IMHO, he made some nice throws...nothing fancy...but he hit his marks pretty well.:thumb:

I thought Matt looked real good. Better than i thought he would. He made some nice passes with a lot of pressure in his face.

BTW..

LSU IS THE MEDIA DARLINGS!! LSU IS THE MEDIA DARLINGS. :wink:

The announcers had a lot to say about LSU.

How many QB on Packers roster? Rogers, Brohm, Flynn... Does Matt make the team? That would be real nice.

Flynn plays about the same as he played at LSU. He just plays his game, not flashy but makes plays and moves the chains.

I found this in a Packer forum, GREAT THREAD on Flynn!!!

And Flynn has been doing that of late. After getting off to a rough start in off-season practices, Flynn has slowly progressed to the point that he and Brohm are nearly splitting the snaps behind Rodgers. Brohm still gets the majority, but Flynn certainly is getting more this week, and he has responded.

"I think Matt, particularly, has taken a couple of big jumps here the last two days," coach Mike McCarthy said Friday.

When Brohm and Flynn were drafted in April, most figured Brohm would be Rodgers' backup. Brohm was a second-round pick, a polished collegiate player who started all 33 games his final three seasons at Louisville. He's got the big arm and could carry a team.

Flynn was taken in the seventh round. And despite playing at a high-profile school in Louisiana State - and leading the Tigers to the national championship last season - Flynn wasn't highly regarded coming out of school. The feeling was that he benefited from the talent around him and didn't get in the way. A Trent Dilfer on the collegiate level, so to speak.

But since training camp began, Packers coaches and front-office personnel have grown fonder of Flynn. They like his decision-making ability - his checks at the line have been spot-on and he has devoured the playbook - and the way he leads a team. Flynn is popular with his fellow rookies and often spends much of his downtime playing board games with teammates in the locker room.

All that adds up to a player who is no longer an afterthought compared to Brohm.

"I can see how it could be swayed a little bit different, Matt might not be getting the credit he deserves (compared to Brohm)," Rodgers said. "Matt's a talented player. He's got solid arm strength, he makes good decisions, I think his fundamentals are pretty solid. He understands the game. He's extremely bright, which has been impressive, they both are. But Matt's a good player.

"To see the difference of some of the guys we've had come in here and know that Matt was drafted in the seventh round, I mean that's a steal right there. I think Matt is definitely a guy that can be in the league for eight, 10, 12 years and be a productive player."
