NAPA, Calif. (AP) – The anointed starting quarterback for the Oakland Raiders is strengthening his hold on the position this training camp instead of losing it.
Matt Schaub is showing signs that last year’s disastrous season in Houston might have been an aberration as he looks in complete command as Oakland’s starter.
The performance comes in stark contrast to what happened with Matt Flynn last summer. Acquired to be the starter in the offseason, Flynn lacked the necessary arm strength in training camp and ultimately lost his job to Terrelle Pryor before getting cut early in the season.
Despite the presence of big-armed rookie Derek Carr, Schaub is showing no signs of giving up the starting position with the Raiders.
