64 catches, 600 yards for Bowers.
Not great.
Seven touchdowns.
Went on this.
Kind of be cool if the Raiders made a little comeback.
Can you explain how quarterback competitions and training camp work?
Is there some sort of grading system that both quarterbacks are measured against?
Or is just how coaches, quote, feel is better?
I think at this point in time, I mentioned this earlier, that with the Kyler Murray and JJ, I think coaches go in
with some sort of idea who they think is going to be the quarterback at the first or second spot.
So most teams at this point in time, if you look around the league, don't have a competition at one.
I don't think the Minnesota Vikings have a competition.
I think Kyler Murray's their starting quarterback.
Is the quarterback competition with the Raiders a competition?
No.
In a perfect world, they want Fernando Mendoza to be the starter.
But if he's not ready, they go with Cousins.
To me, that's not a competition.
We definitely have some backup quarterback competitions.
And I think they're judged by every throw they make.
