Jon Gruden Praises Nathan Peterman in Least Shocking News of Raiders Camp
By Max Scoli
Nathan Peterman is the worst quarterback on an NFL roster -- there's no two ways about it. And, of course, Jon Gruden absolutely adores him.
The head coach of the Oakland Raiders spoke highly of Peterman, stating that the former Buffalo Bills QB is "growing" on him.

Yikes.
This is a nightmare for Raiders fans, who might actually see Peterman take the field at some point if this trend persists. The two-year pro has only recorded 548 yards with 3 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in his career thus far. His QBR over that time is 32.5, by far the worst in the NFL.

Yet, these terrible performances haven't scared Gruden in the slightest. In fact, he thinks Peterman's terrible play isn't his fault.
"He’s athletic. I know he’s got some nightmare performances in the NFL, but when you watch the film, you can see why: It’s not all his fault,” Gruden added.
Have you even watched the film, Jon?
All we see is a deer in headlights.

As if this team didn't have enough material to work with for "Hard Knocks."
