Raiders announce that they've re-opened the QB competition

[polamalubeast]

Coach Dennis Allen announced the Raiders have re-opened their starting QB job to competition.
Matt Flynn is gonna lose a gift-wrapped job for the second straight camp. "I think obviously we have to look at it," said Allen. "... Obviously, I thought Terrelle (Pryor) came in and gave us a spark." While Pryor at least gives the Raiders some improvisational threat and chance to compensate for arguably the worst O-Line in football, Flynn is a popgun player with zero mobility who's absorbed seven sacks on 34 preseason dropbacks. We're not sure Pryor will claim the job before Week 1, but it wouldn't be shocking. He's DEFinitely going to play early in the year.

The Jags are saying, "Thank God for the Raiders."

Matt Flynn ... a guy who NFL teams were falling all over each other to give a big contract to because of one good game at the end of the season. Then he gets to his new team and they're like, "Wait, THIS is what he actually plays like most of the time, when it's not a shootout against a team with no defense? Aw, shit."

If I recall, it wasn't too long ago that the Raiders had another QB like that. Real big guy, wore #2, I think? JaMichael, JaMarco, something like that? At least we know the Raider Way isn't dead.
