And all of that happened before the season even ended. From opening day starter to practice squad of the Raiders in just 12 weeks. Nice!

Good for Nate. He's none of our concern any longer, and I will wish him well because, good grief, why not? He blew up spectacularly on the field of play, but I appreciated his willingness to put in the time and effort, and also answer every single last idiotic question posed to him by the press corps post-game each week, unlike some of our other "stars" during the dog days of this season. I will take everything negative back I've said or thought about Gruden if he can competently salvage this man's career in football. But I won't hold my breath either.

Gruden has had a love affair with Peterman...if anyone can coax good play out of him it might be Gruden

Obviously, he’s never going to live up to his draft selection but it doesn’t really make sense.  His rookie year stats would place him second in this year’s group.  I’ll admit I really rooted for the guy but I think he is getting screwed.  Peterman is one of the worst qbs in the history of the nfl.

 

I'm with you on this. I was a fan of EJ, he did and said all the right things. Clearly he wasn't a first-round guy, but he's certainly more than capable of being a #2 somewhere. I don't know what the heck Mark Davis was expecting when he brought Gruden back on. The guy obviously stays stuck on his evaluations and opinions of players, but it's becoming quite evident that his evaluations and opinions are stuck in 1996 and they're just plain bad. To look at the film between EJ and Peterman and say, "You know what? Nate's my guy," says to me that maybe Gruden should've stayed in the booth.

Jon Gruden has fantastic talent evaluation abilities.  The best talent evaluation abilities. ?

 

 

Not to mention AJ McCarron, isn't that where McCarron went?

 

Yup. And they gave Beane a 5th to get him, hahaha. Someone posted it elsewhere in this thread but the Raiders have scooped up JP Losman, Trent Edwards, Matt Flynn, EJ Manuel, AJ McCarron and now Nathan frickin' Peterman all after they played with the Bills. Watch Tyrod head there next season.

Lol

Peterman is on their practice squad.

 

In future news, all four of the Raiders defensive backfield have made the pro bowl after the 2019 season.  Their play drastically improved due to gaining an extreme amount of confidence during the team practices that year.

I tend to agree with this.

Wish I Nate all the luck with the Raiders. I hope he he does well and surprises everyone. Go Nate!

But that's just it--in t-shirts and shorts, this guy has proven to be a world-beater...if anything, their backfield may fold completely after being outclassed during practices by the worst starter since Randy Hedberg for the late 70's Buccaneers? Just sayin'

You have to understand what a genius Gruden is!

I'm starting to wonder about Gruden's mental health ,no joke.

So Gruden is the one who has had all of those "High Level" meetings.

Gruden is a genius.  He's going to get fired and retire filthy rich

[CIrvine]

I don't think that EJ is eligible for the PS.

[The Wiz]

Why do I have this cartoon image of all the Bills qbs the raiders have signed as little kids standing behind an adult Gruden holding out a hand full of candy toward barkley and Anderson as little kids cowering behind Billy Buffalo?

I've seen a lot of guys pick themselves up when they are down....they get back on that horse and ride her again until she bucks you off. Peterman, despite his shortcomings as football player thus far, is a solid kid and a great teammate.  Never once pointed a finger. Studied hard. Will help however needed. Maybe he's a career backup. That's fine. I'm happy for him. He'll never be quoted as saying some of the crap you hear from Jalen Ramsey.
