The Jets went with Matt Flynn to be their veteran backup quarterback because he had the right mix of intelligence, adaptability and talent.
Or something.
Actually, Jets coach Todd Bowles shined the light on the current state of the free agent market when asked what stood out about Flynn.
“He was the only one available, too,” Bowles said, via Kevin Armstrong of the New York Daily News.
You can read into that what you will as it pertains to the hopes of quarterbacks such as Rex Grossman or Tyler Thigpen or Michael Vick.
