The Facts:
According to Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle, Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie has named Flynn the starting quarterback as offseason workouts are set to begin. McKenzie said Flynn would have to compete with Terrelle Pryor and any quarterback the Raiders may select in the draft this week but it’s more that he was given in Seattle.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Even though Flynn likely thought he’d win the starting job last year with the Seahawks after signing a three-year deal with the team last offseason, HC Pete Carroll never said that would be the case. So Flynn already has a leg up in Oakland. As PFT's Curtis Crabtree reminded readers, McKenzie was with Flynn in Green Bay for the only two starts he’s made in his NFL career and feels he can be a solid quarterback in the league. “He has all the intangibles and I think he can play the position,” McKenzie said. "He can throw the ball. I think he’s going to be a solid quarterback. Now how good can he be? We’ll figure that out, but I think he’s got a chance to be a good, solid quarterback. ...” That chance is more than he got last season.
