Raiders QB Derek Carr spends nearly every waking moment with Jon Gruden and even some non-waking moments ‘I think he’s brainwashed me’

You won’t find a more symbiotic relationship than that of Jon Gruden and his new quarterback, Derek Carr. They are hand-in-glove just as Gruden and Rich Gannon were back in Gruden’s first stint in Oakland. Both of them simply couldn’t be happier about the arrangement.

“I can’t say enough about him,” Gruden said of Carr. “He’s special, that’s all I’ll say. I’ll let him speak on that. I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve worked with a lot of really great quarterbacks in the past, but this guy is as in to football as any guy I’ve met.
