McGloin To Start For The Raiders

Battling a nagging knee injury, Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Houston Texans.

Coach Dennis Allen acknowledged that Pryor encountered a setback on Friday after sharing reps with rookie Matt McGloin in Thursday's practice.
 
Although Allen had been holding out hope, team sources told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport that all signs pointed to McGloin making his first NFL start once Pryor missed Friday's practice.
 
In the only action of his short career, McGloin completed 7 of 15 passes (46.7 percent) for 87 yards (5.8 yards per attempt) and a 65.1 passer rating in garbage time in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago.
 
As Gregg Rosenthal pointed out, a battle between undrafted quarterbacks McGloin and Case Keenum would be a rematch of the Penn State-Houston TicketCity Bowl in January 2012.
 
Just as in that case, this week's matchup favors Keenum over the former Penn State walk-on.

who

A Penn State QB.
 
 
 
That should immediately be a red flag lol

 

[elcheato]

He wasn't even good in college. I'm still really confused as to why he's in the NFL.
 
Raiders gonna Raider

 

[Teagz]

He's also starting over a guy they drafted in the 4th round this year.
 
 
 
 
Cokeland really doesn't give a fuck.

who

 

[elcheato]

Smh, if anyone should know who he is itd be fans of big 10 schools.

 

[Lake Louise]

I know who he is, and I knew that he is on the Raiders. Heck, this is the year where most backups and third string QB's are playing so why not have another one. 48 different QB's, to start a game, this year. Should be an unusual game for the Raiders.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Vince Young must really feel like shit now.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

18/32, 3 TDs. Guess we underestimated him, lol. 

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Did anyone actually watch him play? Besides his stats, would love to know how he looked in general.

 

[elcheato]

Money Matt McGloin

 

[Teagz]

He did play the team who's playing the worst ball in the league though. Let's see him against a good team lol

 

[Giantmetfan07]

lol. I remember a year ago when everyone thought Houston had a terrific D. Amazing how things change in a year. 
 
Though I too am curious how he looked out there.
