The Facts:
HC Pete Carroll has gone out of his way to create a sense of competition at QB this spring. We've heard a lot about field work being split equally between last year's starter Tarvaris Jackson, rookie Russell Wilson and the team's big free-agent signing, Matt Flynn. The average Seahawks fan would like to see Flynn emerge as the clear leader, but at least one teammate says that hasn’t happened. WR Doug Baldwin delivered a first-hand account Saturday: "As for Matt Flynn right now it's hard to tell the distance between him and Tarvaris Jackson, not as clear-cut as people might think."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Fair enough. It's June. It probably shouldn't be all that clear cut at this point. We still expect Flynn to emerge as the Week 1 starter but there is plenty of time until that has to be firmed up. In the meantime, Jackson is more familiar with the system, the staff and the supporting cast. In addition, as NFL.com's Marc Sessler points out, Baldwin and Jackson are close and this could be a case of a young wideout sticking up for last year's starter. ... Whatever the case, we'll be following up on this one throughout the summer. Stay tuned.
