Matt Flynn Trade: Raiders Compare New QB's Path To Matt Schaub, Aaron Rodgers

Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen told ESPN Tuesday that he feels the progress of newly acquired quarterback, Matt Flynn, is similar to that of Matt Schaub and Aaron Rodgers, who both spent time as backups early in their careers before reaching success as starters. Flynn was acquired by Oakland on Monday after spending his lone season in Seattle backing up rookie sensation Russell Wilson after losing the quarterback battle in preseason.
