Raiders release Matt Flynn.
http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4949/matt-flynn
Raiders released QB Matt Flynn. It's a stunning admission of defeat from out-of-his-depth GM Reggie McKenzie, but hardly surprising considering coach Dennis Allen's barely-concealed disdain for his would-be starting quarterback. Flynn had tumbled behind Matt McGloin — a painful to watch quarterback in college — on the depth chart, and was embarrassingly inept in his Week 4 spot start against the Redskins. The fact that he's bringing home a guaranteed $6.5 million this season is one of the most embarrassing GM gaffes in recent memory. Between his money wasted in Flynn and fourth-round misfire on Tyler Wilson, McKenzie has proven he has no idea what he's doing with quarterbacks. Barely a No. 2 level talent, it's possible Flynn will latch back on with the Packers, who lack a viable backup behind Aaron Rodgers. Source: Jim Trotter on Twitter Oct 7 - 2:21 PM |

Flynn was an awful idea for the Raiders. But unlike our former GM, at least McKenzie can admit a mistake and move on.

If someone searches it. I said flynn was cassel. Great games with allstar talent around him. Played into huge money. People fell for it. At least those teams gave up quickly. Not four years. But good on him. Got paid. |

Cassel was given the job without competition. He looked bad in preseason and in total from the start. Flynn had to compete and lost. Think how much quicker our change could have happened. What literally happened to flynn is what should happen to all players in that situation outside of the elite. |

If I were wanting to get QB evaluations from a group of people I wouldn't be looking around here.
