Coach Pierce Names Gardner Minshew II as Raiders Starting Quarterback | Raiders | NFL 

Ima just say what's on everybody's mind. We NEED a QB1.

Gardner almost threw a pick every drive

Here to support the sheild.Just win baby.Raiders 24.

I don't care who starts as long as we win

Everyone mad like either option was a good one. 😂

No loyalty pierce wouldn’t even be the coach if it wasn’t for Aiden. Adam’s had Aiden as the 1

WRONG call coach smh

I don’t think this is what AP wants. It’s what telescopes want

Aidan is more accurate as a passer, he was by far the better passer in the games BUT i definitely think Gardner being mobile played a huge factor in the decision

People forget that Jim Plunkett was a “failed” QB before the Raiders got him and the rest is history. Just saying. 😉😎 RN4L!!🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Awesome we get to play with Garoppolo 2.0

Why do the Raiders always choose opposite of the common opinion? If it went their way sometimes I could understand but it always blows up in their face. I am no longer questioning the predictions of a 5-6 win season. 😔

His coaching staff helped him decide this not just him

Not a good choice. Gardner almost had 5int's in the two preseason games. We have bigger issues than 'Who's at QB". Your coaching has been questionable, Tyree Wilson is too slow of foot to play at this level, he's big but doesn't have strength. Line backers have not made any plays this preseason.

Really disappointed with this decision. Reminds me of seasons past. I had high hopes and enthusiasm until today...

Where is the Lotalty? Obviously, AOC earned the starting spot and Gardner didn’t do anything last night to validate him. Cheerleading should not be the criteria for making a QB selection.

I don't agree with this decision

Minshew puts receivers at risk, feel bad for Devonte

Bad call, you give AOC one drive with better players in the first game and give him no weapons in the second game. Minshew is a loose cannon and was close to three or four picks in the second game. Madness!

Think they made a bad choice

Wow. Long time fan here, over 5O years. It’s 💩 like this that baffles me. Minshew played subpar at best. I wouldn’t be surprised if Tay bounces. I’m not hitting the panic button, more like the “here we go again” button.

How long before Devante names AOC the real starter?

i do not like the choice, AOC was way more consistent 14 play drives, Minshew runs himself into trouble, disappointed but i support our QB, Go Minshew Go Raiders! damn

Absolutely zero excitement for the season.

I’m rollin’ into the 2024 season with it. Let’s get it! Just win baby! Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiderrrrrrs!! 🏴‍☠️

Carter Bradley looked the most solid we need to see more playing time from him

Minshew looked terrible to me. Minshew has terrible footwork dude throws from his tip toes . Minshew is terrible in the pocket dude freaks and gets himself into trouble.

I thought he was a savvy coach, now he just looks like a bonehead ☠️

Glad he made the decision and let everyone know no more split reps just get ready for the season with the ones. And for everyone mad it didnt matter the QB team will be led by our defense. Go Raiders ☠️

Daaammm all bad

What in the world are you doing and what are you thinking man.... Gardner might be a bit more experienced but what I saw in both preseason games there's nothing I saw that is starting qb worthy....I'm not sure that AP knows what he's doing.... I hope that I'm wrong.

He made the wrong decision we need an injury to Gardner ASAP to save the season

Here is to hoping Minshew plays well this team fits his personality and this is his big shot to go be the guy. If he struggles a lot we will find our next QB in the offseason. Go Raiders.

No loyalty by pierce he wouldn’t be the coach without Aiden he is week!

Gardner Minchew, was not my guy, but AOC had a terrible game Minchew also had a lack luster game, my prediction is minchew if he's lucky will play five games so either minchew gets hurt or gets benched because hes mot winning enough I guess I never thought AOC or Minchew was our ideal qb, but in AOC's case I thought we were going to develop him bc I feel from watching him he has a ton of potential, so keep your attention on AOC because I can assure you AOC will once again just be thrown in to an haphazzardl and inevitable qb crisis ,Man AOC will become a great qb you can bet that other teams are going to try and nab this guy his NFL Story remains unwritten, Minchew is a back-up qb , he is now a starter Lamsr Jackdon is still trying to perfect the r-qb, M. Vic and P. Mahomes are seasoned vets and still run in to trouble out of the pocket, If Minchew continues with the happy feet syndrome and his premature rolling out of the pocket, this will not work when he has to man up and let his WR's get open which in most cases you have to take a hit to plant your feet, throw an accurate pass with zip and good ball placement, once again I am uncertain about our current team, why did we not draft a qb? excuse my ranting, this is still my team silver and black every season is an edge of your seat roller coaster ride but it gets worse now we have to base jump because we let the other team tie -Go Raiders Lets Goooo!!!!

I was excited about the coming season not anymore lol

Speechless

Bro it had everything to do with wat happened last night 😂😂😂😂 im so sick of this bs!!!!!!

LET'S GO GARDNER YOU HAVE THIS SEASON TO SHOW WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF JUST SLOW DOWN A QUARTER SECOND AND PLAY BEAUTIFUL FOOTBALL.

AOC is way more accurate QB, disagree with decision! Uncle Rico is ruthless

Whether it was the right or wrong choice, AP does not look confident in the choice. AP hasn’t been himself for the last several conferences.

Well, that’s interesting. F it, let’s go Raiders Nation. We gonna ride this out baby!

Yall act like Minshew will play the the whole season 😂. Yall gotta stop being so damn gullible!

Minshew gonna get Davante killed

Did Coach forget how AOC demolished the Chargers at the end of last season? That’s our first regular season game this year.

Crazy that we have all that talent and the most important position is mid at best🤔 This is not the 2000 Ravens, But as a raider fan always hoping for the best👀

Smh..bad decision

Wonder what Devante said about this

Sad Should not be head coach. You let AOC DOWN BIGTIME. DEVANTE IS GOING TO LEAVE. RAIDERS ARE GOING TO TTTTTAAAAAANNNNNKKKKKK.😢😢😢😢

Reminds me a lot of this past situation with Jimmy G half way through AOC will be QB again 😂

Are we in tank mode?

I like how people are mad that they picked a 2nd string QB over a 2nd string QB

Please enjoy Adam’s last season as a raider

I am all for It! We are riding with the decision and I like both quarterbacks regardless. Only thing left to do is construct the offensive line the best way so that we can run the ball a whole lot better LT.Miller, LG. Peat, C.James, RG.Powers RT.Munford! AND R,R,R RUN THE BALL🏈 (IN MY RICHARD SHERMAN VOICE)

Feel sorry for Maxx and Davante

The simple fact of the pop up "this meeting is being recorded" I think sums up the state of things right now 🤣💀

Hate to say it, but maybe those rumors of Devantae to the Jets got more sustenance than we think 🤔

right back to rotating QBs every year, lets see whats the number of starters up to now since Carr got canned? 5 or 6? Is Devante going to have 20 different QBs in his time with the Raiders like Tim Brown had to deal with?

don't agree but I respect your decision. we'll see and i'm a fan either way.

Whether it was Gardner or Aiden that got the nod as QB1, “Raider Nation” was gonna be upset with the result regardless. Real Raiders fans, The real Raider Nation, will support this team no matter. You gotta remember this is the NFL where anything can happen at any given time RN4L⚪️⚫️☠️🏴‍☠️

Minshew throws balloons 🎈 he’s going to get DA killed ,

Disappointed, i was rooting for AOC, however its whats best for the team and thats what management are paid for, to make the big calls. To be fair, its not like either of them really stood out, so its probably the little intangibles that made the final seperation. Lets get behind the Shield for 2024, RNFL 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏈

I didn't see one good pass from Minshew last night. His body language was terrible. Horrible decision AP

That decision may haunt us and AP for the season and his career. #12 is the Truth! AP just let Aiden and the Nation down by not keeping his word.

No AOC!!:(

I stand by our coach! RN4L 🏴‍☠️

it should have been AOC man wtf you didn't even let him play that much last night you let minshew have More play time than AOC that's fucked up... ur first bad mistake AP

We are officially a forth rate football team. I have been the most optimistic fan throughout the years of ineptitude, but this is one of the most disappointing and depressing moments in Raiders history. They seem like they want to fail. In the offseason and in the regular season. Sell the team Mark, you have no idea what you’re doing. Antonio is not a head coach.

AIDEN O'CONNELL WILL BE PLAYING AFTER 3 GAMES💯

Don’t know about this one!

When Minshew starts 0-5 l, then what?

SEASON OVER 😢

Yeesh, that sucks. Minshew looked bad, AOC looked better with worse weapons on the field. I know neither are actual starters and I dont expect even coming close to a winning season but its sad its come to this. Should have traded Adams when we had the chance. Going in to a 3 year rebuild now with nothing to show for it. Wasting Maxx and Adams careers.

Damn

Minshew Mania. Let's go, Raaaiiiddddeeerrrsssss

You just can't have a statue back there in today's NFL. Plus, he's way to slow in his progressions.

They definitely chose experience over game time performance. I thought Aidan was better and more consistent in both games.

AP , FIRST BAD MOVE BY YOU !

Good job. Coach I'm really for this football team a great potential 💪 It all starts with AP . Winning we can due this we are geared for winning . Good way to start the season God bless the RAIDERS . love attitude s

Expect the defense to always be on the field with #15 as the starter. AOC would not be a sexy pick, but he'll protect the ball and put the defense in a better field position. Gardner will burn out this defense with his reckless play.

I think Aiden is better overall. I would rather have possible too many sacks vs having possible too many ints. I also wish a decision would have stayed behind closed doors till the night prior to the game against the Chargers.

Gonna root for the shield no matter what but can’t lie this decision dropped my excitement.

Going 5:1 pass to run, idk how they could accurately assess either QB

first bad decision by AP

every great head coach need a quarterback

WHAT ?????? AOC SHOULD START!!!!!!!!

Stash da' Gard Dawg LET'S GO RAIDERS!!!

Even though I like his ability to scramble. I don't like where he puts balls for the receivers. He is going to get someone hurt like Jimmy G did last year

Will be interesting to see how this turns out. Don’t understand what the advantage to announcing a starter is, would seem wise to keep our opponents guessing

Devante wanted AOC. This is a message to him. Adam’s is gone. The only reason I can see this possible is because our oline is so bad we need mobility. I’m in absolute shock right now. As is Adams

Mistake #1

Munchew had the worst PFF score last night at 42.5. This is got to be a joke.

If it wasn’t for Aidan AP wouldn’t have this job. Bank on that. Did him dirty. Aidan is the better QB

JUST WIN BABY!! Nothing's change.

Roll with Aiden come on man WTF!!!!!!!!!!

Most of us wanted AP as head coach, he's made his decision we now need to get behind Gardner Minshew.

Guy can't even hit open receivers in the flat

sucks cus this will end up getting ap fired when gardner gets 5 wins

He fucked up

It hurts really bad when things don't go the way it is expected to be. There's always another game. I'll see you all in Vegas for the Steelers game in October.
