For Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, he loves the competition. Not only does he see it as a healthy competition between the two quarterbacks, but he feels it brings out the best in the team as a whole.on Thursday. "It's great. I mean, the best part about it it's a friendly competition. And when I say friendly, we shake hands and kiss babies, but when we go out there, we're trying to both be the guy, and you love to see that, and our team sees that.
"There's competition in the running back room, that defensive line room, there's some boys in there. There's some grown men in there that can play football. Not going to be able to keep all of them. Our linebacker room, our DBs. I mean, there's some guys here that's really -- seeing the competition at quarterback has risen the competition overall on our team."
The Raiders have talent all across the board heading into the 2024 season. As training camp approaches, the coaching staff is searching for the players it trusts most to represent the Silver and Black on the field.
