One of the questions coming into the game for me was whether the Raiders have a worthy backup quarterback. That question may not have been answered tonight.
“The battle for us is who’s behind Derek [Carr],” said Jon Gruden, who pulled his starting QB after just one drive.
Coming in for Carr was Connor Cook. The third year pro was a pleasant surprise in the team’s first preseason game against the Lions, but since then he has looked absolutely dreadful.
In this, the third preseason game, against backups, he played the rest of the first half following Carr’s quick departure.
