The Seahawks brought in a bright young quarterback who had backed up Aaron Rodgers and looked good doing it.
That situation can best be described as what Jimmy Garoppolo is to New England now.
Flynn was expected to take over the starting spot from veteran Tarvaris Jackson, who had a couple ugly seasons with the Seahawks. He was supposed to be the long-term replacement for Matt Hasselbeck, who’d signed with Tennessee.
Everything was looking good for Flynn in Seattle. The former Packer had received a lucrative contract from the team and was ready to don the new Nike Seahawks uniforms and start for the Seattle Seahawks.
