Matt Flynn losing a quarterback competition is starting to become an annual thing. For the second year in a row, Flynn has lost a starting job to a less experienced player.

Terrelle Pryor will be the Raiders starting quarterback in Oakland's regular season opener against the Colts, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Raiders coach Dennis Allen informed Flynn and Pryor of the decision on Monday morning.

Getting paid big $$ to sit on the bench. Not the worst situation. Beats playing behind that o line.

Pryor's mobility is what won him the job

b/c let's be honest... being behind the O-Line in Oakland... you better be able to run like hell

Very true, but it may mean the end to Flynn's opportunity to be a starting QB in the NFL, barring injury.

It's not about Flynn's skill, it about the inability of the Raiders to protect a pocket passer It was dumb of them to pick him up.

Damn, how do you lose a job to T.P?

Unless Flynn is just on the outs, he will be playing by week two.

Flynn will stay in the league and don't act like Pryor won't get banged up behind that line

It's the Raiders, logic and reason are non-factors. Pryor is athletic and can run better so let's put him out there to get killed when the real games start.

Flynn will be in by game 5 or 6.

This isn't the Al Davis Raiders chief there is new management now. We were left with Davis dumb decisions to draft anyone who can run a 4.3, anyone really strong or sign washed up superstars. Flynn will get killed with our o line. Pryor is the righ choice he made plays during the preseason moved the ball down the field better than Flynn.

It help to be able to scrabble when you have no offensive line.

How long is his contract? A couple of years in that organization and he's done.
