The Facts: There are no promises is Jackson will still be the Seahawks' starting quarterback in 2012, but he appears to be in surprisingly good position to retain the gig. ESPN's John Clayton reported Sunday that Jackson will work with the first team when training camp begins next month.
Diehards Line:HC Pete Carroll has maintained the signing of Matt Flynn to a $19.5 million contract in the offseason didn't guarantee anything. Carroll maintained Flynn would get a fair shot at earning the job in camp -- Jackson, Flynn and rookie Russell Wilson will split reps -- but he didn't come off as being married to his new acquisition. According to Clayton, there might be a reason for that. "(Flynn) hasn't wowed anybody in all the offseason program," Clayton said. ... Flynn will, of course, have training camp to turn that around. We'll suggest the fact he's even in Seattle is an indication that Jackson hasn't wowed anybody in more than a year there.
