Both picked QBs in the draft that are now hurt. Geno may be back, but apparently, he isn't doing too well. They signed Brady Quinn.

are we just going to ignore the fact that flynn lost his starting job due to injury since that doesnt further people's argument?

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.

this is the argument some of you came up with after he lost the job in Seattle. Oh wait, it was a conspiracy by Pete Carroll because he hates LSU.

I don't think anyone expects the same level of success by the Raiders under Pryor.

I don't think Pryor is the same talent as R.Willson. But, shouldn't be focus on what Flynn did wrong to lose both QB1 jobs two years in a row.

I think the line of thought in Oakland is that they can go 4-12 with Flynn, or take a chance with Pryor to see if he develops. Worst case scenario is that they are the worst team this year and they can draft a qb 1st overall.

Flynn wiil get another chance soon. Pryor did nothing to warrant being started. Just don't understand some of these so called coaches.

Pretty much. His elbow has been killing him for a couple of months now. He'll get some rest for it and Pryor will look like Jordan Jefferson out there.

No way. Had head started in 06 and been a worse qb than JR, we would've won the title.

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.


Are you serious?

Right. Flynn just lost to a guy that can't throw the fricking ball. Flynn isn't a good qb. DWI.

The controlled narrative is that he "lost" the competition.

The truth is he's hurt.

But that doesn't fit the narrative

Against a Detroit team playing for nothing and missing 3 starters in the secondary. In the snow.

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.


Holy shite.

You may be the only person more angry at MF than Jbeam.
That's saying something.

Why you so mad?
Tell us.

i would love the saints to pick up flynn for a low price(he has plenty of money in the bank), and promise him a starting job after brees is done(brees is 34)


You promise the starting qb position to a guy that doesn't have 2 career starts? I'm glad you aren't the gm of the saints.

Fact is he isn't horrible


You know this how?
What's funny is JR got his money is out of football without taking all the punishment and he is a lazy pos frick up. Flynn got his money and doesn't have to take the punishment and he has won in this situation. Its laughable.
