Cleveland Browns A.M. Links: The Browns should get Matt Flynn; RGIII is not the answer; do you trust Mike Holmgren?; Is Colt McCoy in the Browns' future?

Should Browns go after Packers' backup?

Joshua Gunter, The Plain DealerMatt Flynn .

Why force a rookie quarterback into the Cleveland Browns' situation when a veteran quarterback is available?

Marla Ridenour of Ohio.com writes how Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn is the best fit for the Browns:

It’s going to be costly to sign the soon-to-be unrestricted free agent, especially after Flynn set the Packers’ franchise records by throwing for 480 yards and six touchdowns Sunday in a 45-41 victory over the Detroit Lions.

Despite how great Flynn looked last Sunday, he still carries a risk for the Browns.

He’s 26 years old and has made only two NFL starts, against the Lions this season and against the Patriots in 2010. Those pass defenses finished the regular seasons ranked 22nd and 30th, respectively. He has thrown only 132 career passes (completing 62.1 percent) with nine touchdowns and five interceptions. Without the Packers’ talent and scheme, he could turn out to be Scott Mitchell.

Ridenour says the best West Coast quarterback for the Browns is Flynn.
