It is very clear that Aidan is the starter. All the BS talk about getting Daniels, then it was Penix. We could have gotten Cousins, we could have gotten Russell Wilson, we could have gotten Justin Fields. We didn't do any of that. But people say that we got Minshew so he can be the starter.....lol. It was obvious when AP kept heaping on his praise for Aidan. I see it too. He still has to prove it, 9 games as a rookie isn't going to tell you where his ceiling is. We will see how high he can go, but it's obvious that this coaching staff thinks he is going to improve significantly.
Personally, I couldn't be happier that the Raiders didn't pay for a QB in the draft. I know that might not be a popular opinion, but I saw enough out of AOC in 2023 to be excited about what his development can look like. I appreciate your fair assessment of him. I also enjoy our shared excitement. Been following you since the start. Happy to see you grow and have success as a content creator
One year of Max Crosby training and healing to go with all those perfect genes is going to be deadly. Biggest jumps year 2 1. AOC12 2. WILSON 3. TUCKER 4. MEYER 5. BENNETT So much talent it's going to be a great year
MAN, I couldn't agree with you more!! You are 💯% on what you said! And the MAJOR key to all of their growth is MCSCREWUP IS NOT IN THE BUILDING!! More importantly, though, is that AP is. No one, and I mean NO ONE, outside of Raider Nation knows what's coming. Tyree is healthy, hungry, and training, and he has Maxx, Wilson, Koonce, and the rest of the defensive linemen pushing him. What's really scary and crazy to think about that I don't know if it's ever happened before?! All for these guys could end up with 10 plus sacks this year. Koonce has 8 in 9 games. Wilkins had 9 last year. Tyree, yes, he only had 3.5 butcALL of those came after AP took over, and Maxx had 14.5. Now, Tyree has been working all off-season. Koonce will be starting. Wilkins and Maxx will be lined up next to each other. Tyree and Koonce will be next to each other. Byron Young, who WE ALL keep forgetting about is in his second year, and Adam Butler and John Jenkins are back. If I were a gambling man, which I'm not, but if I were, I would bet money Bryon Young has a breakout camp. He got zero playing time last year. I don't know if it was injuries or lack of effort, but I'm looking at him to make some plays in the preseason that will get him some in-game action during the season
And this year's draft class looks really good too...great coaching and some decent drafts can turn around a franchise super quick...need AOC to make the biggest jump though 🤞🏽
I know y’all are wanting AOC to lead, but as a Colts fan I suggest Minshew. AOC isn’t that impressive. With your weapons right now, I’d go with the one with the most talent and wins.
Any one elas notice when crapalo was I. Tre has 2 highlights just running and 1 high light from old ass hoyer.the rest are from Aiden oh conner Con Air
Dude, the raiders didn't address the qb situation because no other team wanted to trade with them. The raiders weren't getting Williams, Daniel's, maye, penix or any other of the top 6 qbs. Then telesco said there were no qb prospects worth taking after the 1st round. Why waste a pick on rattler or some other project when O' Connell is already their project, who by the way had the 2nd best rookie year among qbs, including overall #1 pick young. Look at draft picks we got. Who would you rather have, rattler or Richardson or eichenberg? Richardson and eichenberg have a much better chance of becoming starters than rattler. You sound like a young guy who needs a lot more time watching, analyzing and listening to people who are experts like Tom Telesco and Hondo Carpenter among others. Also take the emotion out of your analysis, it clouds the reality of things. Don't get mad because I critiqued you, take my advice(been an nfl fan since 1972 with the immaculate reception game) and make yourself even better at what you're doing. Just remember to listen to the experts before forming your opinions. I'm not saying O' Connell is gonna be a star but he has shown a lot in short tenure. Take into consideration all the turmoil that happened last year and look how he performed. The list of impressive things is so long, I can't fit it in this spot. Think about it. Would you rather have daniels or bowers, jpj, glaze and our top 3 picks next year? 6 probable starters compared to 1? No brainer..take the 6 starters. They aren't winning the super bowl this year. If we find out this year neither O' Connell or minshew is the answer, then they can address it after the 2024 season. One last thing. ... Raaaaaiiiiiiddddeeeerrrrssss!!!!!
Just be honest, the Raiders quarterback room is mediocre. It's not the worst, but it's very mediocre and you can argue that the lowest upside quarterback room in the NFL Now that can change if the Raiders trade for Hendon hooker from the Detroit Lions. Somebody who actually had first round potential last year and is fully healthy. Someone like that could actually make a difference. These guys are just going to be average at best. There's going to be good games. There's going to be bad games. There's going to be games where they don't really do much. We can't have that if we expect to actually win anything
Ladies and gents, who gives a rats ass what the mediots think. They want you to click... Let's rank all media writers and make fun of their bs they write.. We don't need their BS opinion on Aidan. Aidan is the starter and that's that...
It's like they expect all the rookie QBs to come out the gates without any issues. AOC has some games under his belt and while his numbers last year weren't the best, he didn't turn the ball over a lot and was put in under a horrible coach that was replaced by an interim coach. After all the issues with Jimmy G who was supposed to be the starter (That all of the media were saying was a "winner") he was forced on to the field earlier than he was supposed to be, behind a not so great O-line and without any first team reps. This year he will get the first team reps, he has an improved O-line, and some promising targets to throw to. That's why when they surveyed actual Raider's fans that know what's up they are perfectly fine with our QB situation. I actually feel more comfortable with AOC than some of the QBs that would have been available if the Raiders were to trade up. Also, Jimmy G is a more serviceable QB than half of the starting QBs in the NFL.
Technically their not wrong in their assessment, and if they are wrong why did everyone so desperately want to draft Jayden Daniel’s or Michael Penix at QB, but I do feel that the competition between Minshew and AOC will bring out the best in at least one of them.
OUR QB ROOM IS STRAIGHT GARBAGE!!!! THIS JUST PROVES HOW DELUSIONAL AND REMEDIAL MOST OF RAIDER NATION REALLY IS!!!!! LIVING ON HOPES AND PRAYERS AT QB BUT TALKING LIKE WE GOT LAMAR JACKSON!!😒😒😒🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤡💩
AOC is a lot better than all the rookies this year he played and best the best crybaby Chargers and the so call a great defense broncos yeah right lol! The best one was the making up excuses Chiefs Let's go Raiders!!!
All things considered, the ranking is fair. Their QBs are objectively, unproven. As a Raider fan I like to be the underdog. No one expects to get punched in the mouth by the underdog.
