    Raiders coach Dennis Allen doesn't need to play any games about who his starting quarterback will be this week.

    Terrelle Pryor answered those questions in the season opener with his game-breaking running ability and vastly improved passing that almost helped Oakland pull off a shocker before losing 21-17 at Indianapolis.

    After refusing to announce his starter last week for "competitive" reasons, Allen is all in with the dual-threat quarterback heading into Sunday's home opener against Jacksonville. Pryor spent most of training camp working with the backups while Matt Flynn ran with the first team.

    "Pryor is going to start for us," Allen said Monday.

    Pryor became the eighth quarterback since the 1970 merger to throw for at least 200 yards and run for at least 100 in a single game.

    "That's the element that he brings to the game," Allen said. "So, that's always going to be there, his ability to create, his ability to make things happen with his feet. The thing that we judge on the practice field is his ability to make good decisions, his ability to throw the ball on time, with accuracy. Those are things that we want to see that he continues to improve because that's what's going to make him a really good quarterback, is if he continues to improve in those areas."

    Flynn's only job was to be the Trivial Pursuit answer to:

    Who did Terrelle Pryor replace as the Raider's starting QB?
