Jon Gruden warming up to QB Nathan Peterman, in the hunt for backup job

NAPA – Derek Carr is the unquestioned started around Raiders training camp. He has been for years now but his backups have cycled through, with annual competitions to be his No. 2.

Mike Glennon’s certainly the favorite in that quest, though discounting Nathan Peterman might be a mistake.

The former Buffalo Bills starter, who has thrown interceptions by the bushel when given a chance to play has found second life working under Jon Gruden.

The Raiders head coach liked Peterman’s game when he was a television analyst and Peterman was draft eligible out of the University of Pittsburgh.
