Raiders release Matt Flynn

[seer-12thman]

The Oakland Raiders released quarterback Matt Flynn on Monday, just six months after bringing him in to be the starter.
Oakland acquired Flynn in April from Seattle for a 2014 fifth-round draft pick and a conditional pick in 2015. The Raiders also reworked Flynn's contract to give him $6.5 million in guaranteed money this season.
But Flynn was beaten out for the starting job in the preseason by Terrelle Pryor and then fell to third string behind undrafted free agent Matt McGloin last week, leading to his eventual release.

I think I along with most seahawks fans are pretty shocked what a flop he has been.

I guess he truely was a product of an amazing system in GB. It is just so amazing he had the 2 games that he did, it definetly got him a payday!

I'm more shocked that it ever got this far

At least we got something for him.

He's the highest paid QB per game in the history of the NFL

He's done. 2 teams where he was beat out in training camp for the starting job, both of them citing his lack of arm endurance and strength. Then his disastrous start in Week 4 against the Redskins not only proved he isn't starter material, but that he isn't even fit to play a backup. With 1 interception, 1 fumble lost, and 7 sacks against one of the worst defenses in the league, you might as well have Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau at QB. At least then it might be funny.

Yeah, Pete saw that he had the second coming in Russell Wilson.

I know this much , at this point and time having the mobile Wilson is the difference between 5-1 and 1-5

I don't know about 1-5 but we would've def lost to Houston and probably Carolina.

You get my point ..... A pocket passer would be crushed with these injuries to the o- line .
