The media reports on the Raiders quarterback play has not been good of late. Reggie McKenzie disagrees with those reports. Not much positive mention has come from the media portrayal of the Raiders' quarterback situation this off-season. Those quarterbacks have a combined three starts in the NFL - Matt Flynn (2 starts), Terrelle Pryor (1 start), and two rookies in fourth round pick Tyler Wilson and undrafted free agent Matt McGloin. Reggie McKenzie vehemently disputes the judgment of those who would say there is great cause for concern among this group from either those media in attendance or those speaking of them second hand. "I don't know about those great evaluators that were out there (in the media) but in my eyes [the Raiders quarterbacks] had a pretty good off-season, pretty good OTA's, and they had some really good days," McKenzie told Bay Area radio station, 95.7 The Game. "Everyone has a bad day, but as far as the development of Flynn, the development of Pryor, the development of Wilson, all these guys, they have gotten a ton better from day one to when they left last week. "I like what the offensive coaches are doing with Pryor and they try to implement his plan. The way they're throwing everything at Flynn and the rookie to try to see if he can pick it up... they all can throw the football and Pryor's definitely working on his mechanics. So, it's encouraging to see what this staff is doing with these guys and I'm kind of anxious to see them in training camp and how preseason rolls along. "As far as the beat writers' evaluations, I really don't pay a whole lot of attention to that. Sorry about that, beat writers. If you were really good I'd probably get you in one of these scouting jobs." Source: SBNation.com
reggie, maybe you will prove us all wrong but i don't think anyone thinks Matt Flynn, Terrelle Pryor, Tyler Wilson and Matt McGloin inspire a ton of confidence. i 'think' i like reggie as a g.m., but i'm still somewhat on the fence. He inherited somewhat of a mess and has only had one full season to start to re-build things. I think they need to show something in 2014, though. That will have given him a few years to get things turned around.
I hope Flynn proves them all wrong. He's a good QB. He holds the Packers record for most TD passes in a single game.
