Seahawk fan here. Wilson was named the week 1 starter on August 26, 2012 following the third preseason game.

 

Flynn started the first two preseason games against the Titans and Broncos.  Wilson was impressive in both games but the obvious point was made that he was playing against the backups.

Before the third game Flynn came down with an elbow issue and Wilson was named starter against the Chiefs. He tore it up against their starters and was named starter.

 

Matt Flynn never started a game for the Seahawks.
