The Raiders have signed quarterback Nathan Peterman to the practice squad, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets. Peterman will serve as the team’s scout team quarterback as new father A.J. McCarron welcomes his new baby boy at the hospital.
Peterman, a 2017 fifth-round pick of the Bills, was horrendous in his two starts for Buffalo this season. Heading into that draft, some evaluators were high on the Pittsburgh product, and then-ESPN analyst Jon Gruden was one of his most ardent supporters.
So far, Peterman has done little to inspire confidence. He has a career 52.3% completion rate across eight games and advanced metrics indicate that his 2018 performance is among the worst in modern NFL history when adjusted for scale.
It doesn’t sound like Peterman will see the field in the Raiders’ final two games, but if he impresses in practice, he could be a candidate for a reserve/futures deal in the New Year.
So peterman only gets another chance because mccarrons wife had a baby. Lol
Here Goes Gruden Doing Dumb Stuff Again
Just rip the band aid off already and leave us for Vegas lol. This hurts my soul
A better choice would of been Paxton Lynch. Better of the 2
I mean, does it really matter at that point if your choosing between Paxton Lynch and Nate peterman lol
And probably better than McCarrons.
The Peterman returns to salvage a number one pick for the Raiders
When I saw this on Twitter I thought it was a joke, to put it nicely Peterman is the worst QB ever. Being 100% serious a smarter move would be signing a kid that’s been on the bench all year for his high school team. At least if the kid had to play something good might happen, with Peterman you know he’s gonna throw 3,4,5 picks
Trade David Carr to the Giants for a 2019 2nd, 2020 1st, 2020 3rd. Start Peterman. #TankForTua
no way any team pays that.
I would sign and trade David Carr for those picks who wouldn’t?
Yeah David Carr still has some left in the tank. Great trade for both teams
Might want to mention the word practice squad on the opening title of this article before Raiders fans start jumping off the Golden Gate bridge.
Gruden did this because he’s Gruden, and he can fix any quarterback. Just ask him, he’ll probably tell you that. He’s certainly not lacking ego.
They are 3-11. Does this signing really hurt there playoff chances?
