That's a fact. Seattle is Stupid that's a fact.



There's an argument to be made that Flynn should be starting. Very few, if any of you, are making it. Instead your argument =

Oh and Vanderbilt?



Good one! You totally got me! Talk about reinforcing your non-existent argument

ETA: Flynn will get plenty of chances, more than likely this season. Enough with the Carroll wants to tank for barkley and Carroll picked Wilson cause he hates LSU nonsense please

Seattle was a team on the cusp of making the playoffs last year. The offense he led in W1 vs Arizona will not come close to leading his team there.

They needed a W1 win vs Arizona and he struggled with 98 yards through 55 minutes of play.

Wilson was a stud QB in college and he plays with a chip on his shoulder due to people saying he's too short. That can both help and hurt you; in the preseason, it made him look like a starter, but how many times have we seen guys excel in the preseason and disappear when it starts to count?

Pete sold his team short by starting Wilson this season because he isn't ready. Most rookie 1st round NFL QBs are not ready, let alone rookie 5'11 3rd round QBs.

It's pretty simple really. Flynn had every opportunity to lock down the starting QB job and didn't do it. Did you follow the Seahawks camp at all? Flynn started out getting the most reps and Wilson was 3rd on the totem pole. It was pretty obvious that Flynn got beat out. Pete Carroll declared it an open competition and Wilson stepped up while Flynn didn't.

So if you think one NFL QB should start over another, you must be a butthurt fan of the college one of the QBs is from...

By that logic, the only reason most support Wilson is because they love Wisconsin or hate LSU. Which category are you in?

Flynn had a much higher completion percentage. Almost every other category was either a tie or a slight advantage to Wilson. Wilson also got more reps while Flynn played more against the 1st string defenses. To say Wilson obviously beat out Flynn is a ridiculous statement. He was just as good as Flynn AT BEST. I highly doubt many other coaches would have picked wilson over Flynn, if any.

Thanks for confirming that you didn't follow the Seahawks camp at all. If it was really close, Flynn would've gotten the nod, but it really wasn't. Wilson made the decision pretty easy.

I followed the QB race since the start and it wasn't that close. I remember there was a poll of Seahawks fans of who should start and it was heavily favored toward Wilson. Lots of Seahawks fans loved the Flynn signing, but Wilson just outperformed him during camp.

Flynn's biggest mistake was not being as "exciting" as Wilson.

Seattle was stupid and wanted to start a rookie like everyone else. Only problem is they have a legit starter on their bench.

fricking glad Wilson had a good game and Seattle won.

Rantards acting like Flynn is an NFL star is fricking hilarious.
