Lowly Raiders Sign Lowly Rated Quarterback, Nathan Peterman
After a decade-long hiatus from coaching in the NFL, Jon Gruden’s first year in his second stint with the Raiders has been nothing short of disappointing and head scratching.
On Wednesday, Gruden made the most head scratching move of the season, signing free agent quarterback Nathan Peterman, after talking about it to the press earlier in the week.
Peterman has had historically bad performances this season and was cut by the Buffalo Bills earlier in November. The QB who has three career TDs and 12 INTs is back in the football business.
It was only natural for folks on twitter to make jokes, and also make the point that Colin Kaepernick still remains unsigned.
Point A) Nathan Peterman has thrown 3 touchdowns to 12 interceptions and has a job in the NFL.
Point B) Colin Kaepernick has thrown 72 touchdowns to 30 interceptions and doesn't.
Everyone who says that Kaepernick isn't in the NFL "because he sucks" please refer to Point A.
