But it’s the season of the backup QB, and the Chargers are rolling into Raider Nation with their QB2. Meanwhile, the Raiders will either continue to start a rookie or return to the starter-turned-backup.

The Raiders QB trifecta: Who will emerge as the hero?

Maxx Crosby’s out there, tearing up the turf with a knee that’s seen better days, but you won’t catch him slacking. The same, unfortunately, can’t be said for the Raiders’ starting quarterback saga. It’s been more of a QB carousel than a smooth ride. Jimmy Garoppolo kicked off the season, teaming up with Josh McDaniel, but their rhythm was like a broken record. In came Aiden O’Connell and Antonio Pierce to shake things up. O’Connell got his shot, but the QB roulette continued as Pierce now faces the ultimate quarterback conundrum. Enter Brian Hoyer, the potential starter, ready to sling it and bring it. Will the Raiders stick with the rookie or bring back the starter-turned-backup?
