Bucky Brooks of NFL.com on the Seattle QB competition:

The Seahawks recently announced that QB Matt Flynn will start the first game of the preseason, and I fully expect him to have that job when the regular season opens. He looked completely comfortable directing the offense, displaying superb accuracy and ball placement in drills. I was impressed with Flynn's movement skills within the pocket during 11-on-11 drills, as well as his ability to extend plays with his feet. He repeatedly connected on deep throws after eluding pressure; that element of his game could enhance the Seahawks' offense. Veteran Tarvaris Jackson and rookie Russell Wilson certainly had their moments during camp, but the job seems like Flynn's to lose at this point.

Seahawks WR Ricardo Lockette continued what has been a very strong start to training camp, as he made a diving, juggling catch in the end zone on a long throw from QB Matt Flynn, and that was after he beat Brandon Browner on a deep ball thrown by Russell Wilson.

Kippy Brown, who coaches Seattle's receivers, was asked for an assessment of Lockette's training camp.

"Making progress," Brown said. "Making progress. Again, he's a guy who can sit there and tell you what everybody does now where he couldn't before. But we don't want to move him a lot because he performs better when we kind of keep him in one spot. But we could, and there will be times that we will."

SI.com’s Peter King attended Seahawks training camp on Sunday and tweeted that rookie QB Russell Wilson is very much in the race to be the team’s starting quarterback in Week 1.

"Seahawk thoughts 4: Sidney Rice tells me he's aiming to be healthy wk 1 ... QB race could go any of 3 ways. Russell Wilson absolutely in it."

Because of his accuracy and the ability to get the ball out of his hand on time, Wilson has drawn comparisons to Saints QB Drew Brees. While Tavaris Jackson is in the mix to start as well, it would appear as though Wilson is battling Matt Flynn, who signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract with Seattle this offseason.

Tony Softli, a former personnel executive for the Panthers and Rams, suggests that Seahawks rookie QB Russell Wilson will eventually win the starting job over Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson.

"I think that once he picks up this offense he'll be ahead of Flynn not only athletically but [in terms of] positional attributes as well," Softli said on the air with ESPN's John Clayton. "I like what Flynn brings to the table because he does have some experience, and I think it's going to be a good competition between the two, but when it's all said and done I think Wilson will be the guy."
