Is the rookie starting quarterback trend getting out of control?

Is a QB controversy emerging in Seattle?

When Matt Flynn surprisingly signed a three-year deal with the Seahawks this offseason, everyone pretty much expected the former Packers backup to trot into Week One as the bonafide starter, even after they used a third round pick in April's draft on former NC State and Wisconsin starter Russell Wilson.

Jake Locker needs to develop during the 2012 season

After finally getting around to watching Jake Locker's performance against the Buccaneers, all I can say is "wow," and not in the good way.
