Well Q wouldn't be the first 'slash' QB to overrate himself (Taysom Hill anybody?)

During the game thread there were all sorts of comments on Flowers' lack of pocket presence, but the point was for him to jumpstart the offense, and for two quarters it worked with Corndog. The point of people who wanted Flowers in on that goal-to-go series wasn't for his passing.

Vipers overall are a good team. But yes, Trestman is terrible. As for Flowers, he wasn't good either. Just give Corndog all the reps and he will get better. The main reason they liked Flowers was the South Florida connection.

DC defenders are pretty anemic at the moment, any QB would look pretty stellar against them

He knows there's no other jobs right? He is basically saying "I quit football". Green Bay is going to pick him up?

maybe he's buying into the rumors that Jameis is on his way out with the Buccaneers and has plans to fill out an application with them? lol..

he's apparently requesting a trade out of Tampa. Supposedly he was almost traded to NY last night but it fell through.

Good riddance. Q was a gimmick QB anyway. I didn't mind using him here or there,trying to get him the ball some, using him in the slot or out wide, occasionally putting him behind center, but Corndog and Murray are both better "true" QBs. Tampa wasn't going to win week in and week out with Q playing full time at QB.

He was a gimmick change of pace kind of guy. His public expression of discontent wasn't beneficial to anyone.

Time to move on Q.

He's starting to remind me of Seneca Wallace, except Wallace was decent. If Wallace is your starter, that means you got problems (2008-09 when Hasselbeck was hurt, briefly in 2013 for Aaron Rodgers).

And what exactly does he think Williams is for NY?

I think we have our secret leak from a couple weeks back.

Flowers met with the media today. Per a tweet by Eduardo Encina (@EddieInTheYard) of the TB Times:

"Quinton Flowers just spoke to the media. Said he did ask to be traded, but also said he wants to be here in Tampa. Ended by saying he will do whatever he's asked to do, including playing RB. Said whatever happens happens."
