He has a few million dollars in the bank, a vested NFL pension, and his health. He'll be all right.

The raiders need a mobile QB with that awful offensive line. All things being equal, Flynn is the better QB.

If the 49ers had Flynn and Pryor on their roster, Flynn would likely be 1st string. The Raiders just have specific needs because of how pathetic they are.

No, I'm sure he wants to play. My opinion is the alternative is better, as long as he's getting paid.

It sucks that he has not been given a chance to play in a real game. He has lost out twice in training camp. A real game is different.

It's comical the excuses some of y'all come up with.

I've come to realize that Flynn is just not a good QB on his own. If he doesn't have a legit WR squad or rock solid ol, he is useless. Other QBs in the league do well despite their WR squad. He's like Sam Bradford or Matt Cassel. Matt Cassel did great with the Patriots squad then when he only had Bowe in KC, he was shown to be less than mediocre.

I know you need WRs, but you can't make that excuse after 5 years and 2 teams.

I will say that he still has a chance to succeed because I don't think TP is the answer either.

With Terrelle Pryor at QB, Oakland will be lucky to win 2 games. This team is horrible. At least Matt Flynn won't get beaten to death behind that O-line.

Trust me Flynn will be back stating sooner rather then later. Pryor is a turnover machine. At least Flynn want give the games away. His elbow injury is why he isn't starting. No zip on the long throws

Pryor is awful. I suppose the only reason he got the nod is the fact he can run. First 3 turnover game they will turn on him. His arm is marginal, at best.

Just lose, baby.

Raiders know they have a crappy OL. They want Pryor to be able to escape and make plays with his legs, but he's reckless. Flynn has actually completed 70% of his passes, Pryor under 60%.

Raiders are simply the QB Graveyard. A mess of an organization.

Sucks for Flynn. Put him under center in Dallas and he takes them to the playoffs. Put him under center in Oakland and he gets killed.

put aaron Rodgers under center with the raiders , sure he would be better than Flynn but not near the qb he is with the packers .....when Flynn signed with the raiders I knew he wouldn't be successful there.....except for the $$$$$$$

It's funny that Flynn is better off not playing and if they had a better oline he would be. But for Jmarc he was just a lazy pos.

Matt Flynn loses Raiders QB Competition


Matt Flynn gets paid millions of dollars and doesn't have to get pummeled behind the turn-style that is the Raiders Oline. Sounds like he won out in this situation.
