#raidernation #lasvegasraiders #nfl #raiders #aidano'conell Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell has a new number to go with a great system and supporting cast for this year.
It really is. His analysis is spot on most times. Usually doesnt let hype get to him. Thats hard to do as a fan. I trust this guy and he makes fun videos.
AOC had better numbers than Trevor Lawrence last year so I wish everyone would stop saying the Raiders need a QB. So many people wanted to sacrifice too many picks for an unproven QB in the draft. Build the team and if AOC isn't the answer then draft next year.
@@chowder4118 what does he do that is great? This is the question you asked me. O’Connell was a rookie last year. That’s the answer. Question for you. Do you think it’s logical to judge a players entire career projection off of their rookie season?
We got it covered…. Calm and Cool AOC and Wild and Crazy Minshew….. Remember Calm and Cool Lamonica and Wild and Crazy Stabler? With a Knockout Defense! Oh! And great Receivers and Tight End… Sounds like a totally winning record and Playoffs. Go Raiiiiders!!!!
Real Raiders fans can’t wait to see how this season plays out with the QB’s we currently have. WE ARE STOKED!!! After the signing of Wilkins then the draft, if you’re still grumpy about the Raiders outlook you must have an unshakable trauma.
Totally! So many are shidding on AO4 & Minshew while our squad is definitely sufficient in dominating the LOS while allowing either of these dudes to distribute the rock!
AOC has what it takes, I believe it. Minshew doesn't seem to have an arrogant bone in his body so he will work out well at QB2. Full offseason, more offensive depth, o-line help, better scheme, a defense that can keep the opponent's offense off the field, all this will serve AOC in his 2nd year development.
Raiders fans please remember that AOC was a Rookie last year and did not get the preseason prep that he would have had he been named the starter from day 1. If at the end of this season we all agree that he does not have the ability to be a very good to great QB, then it makes sense to think of him as a backup QB. Give this young guy a shot before judging him as many past great QB's in this league were not great as rookies.
I’m going to tell you. I’ve seen AOC throw some balls 🏈 that only high level QBs can make. You could see flashes of greatness in his game. He only needed time to adjust to the speed of the game. Also, our oline was not good at all in a division full of sack leaders.😅 I got a feeling things are going to be much better for him this season with all the amazing players we have with crazy versatility!
@microbe_rz31 I didn’t realize it was top 10. That is not bad. Everyone in the media appears to always bash us for our oline I thought it was much worse.
Aoc was a Rookie Qb last year and played better then all the rookie qbs except CJ Stroud .Cj had all training camp and started every game.AOC had McDonald's as a head coach and still produced. Aoc Drafted by the Raiders. Aoc is a Raiderrrr!!!!
Will Levis and Tommy Devito were both Rookie QBs with better passer ratings than AOC. If Richardson wasn't hurt he would've had a better year too. In his limited action his passer rating is better. Minshew backed up Jalen Hurts, Trevor Lawrence, and Anthony Richardson who are all ballers (Lawrence coming off of a dwn yr). Minshew has won 2 playoff games and balled everywhere he's been. Not trying to knock AOC but Minshew is better
@@Cry_AboutIt Richardson was starting and had 3 td in 4 games and in int 2 and 2 record.will levis is 3 wins 6 losses .Tommy who 4 and 5 losses.only one who still has a question mark is Richardson cuzz he got hurt but AOC out played the other guys easy.you are sadly mistaken
@emendoza4832 Yet they all had better passer ratings than AOC last year. AOC also played on a wayyy better team, so those wins are mostly on the defense, not him. I recall us losing 0-3 to the Vikings and him not completing a pass for 3 quarters against the Chiefs 🤣. Without breaking a sweat I proved your false claim wrong of him outplaying every Rookie besides Stroud. Deal with it.
@@Cry_AboutIt you don't know nothing about football. You play fantasy football. Here is the real stats PFF Grades for Rookie QB's - 1. C.J. Stroud - 81.1, 2. Aidan O'Connell - 65.6, 3. Levis - 63.3 ... 8. Bryce Young - 56.0, 9. Anthony Richardson - 52.2 Smh check your facts kid. I went back and watched michew highlights and je gots inflated numbers because his wr ate good real good. He was under throwing wide open wr and they still made the catch.thats how you can tell if the qb is good or not.when they hit the wide outs in stride.throw them open.
@emendoza4832 Since 1973 the NFL has been using passer rating as the metric to rate QBs, and you come at me with PFF? They rated Jordan Love a 60.8. They have zero credibility, and neither do you. Step your stat game up
Thanks CC for giving some clarity to that Brady thing and your honesty for making assumptions about it...I'm with you about our team can't wait for the season to start and see AP team on the field this could be a great season...LET'S GO RAIDERS RN4L
I think AOC will be the starting QB. He was a rookie last his numbers were damn near the same as Minshew's career numbers. A 4th round QB tossed into the fire without any real first time reps had to be hard. But he learned down the stretch. And I know that Vikings game is going to come up. But football is the ultimate team sport.AOC is not throwing it to himself. He's gotta have help. That's where BB89 comes in. The more weapons and options you have, the harder it is on the defense. Mayers and Bowers are going to be coverage nightmares. Add in Adams and Meyers with Zeus in the backfield, and it's pick your poison day! The defense will be a DOMINANT unit. The offense looks like they are getting up to battle with the Chiefs.
@raiderfilms6482 OH No! Raider fans understand, and we're not holding ANYTHING against him. I think the kid straight out BALLED last year. He made so INSANE throws. And he's only going to get better! I think this kid is the second best behind CJ Stroud last year. If he was a bit more mobile, he may have gone in the first or second round as well. But as a pure pocket passer, he can make all the throws. I'm still trying to figure out why these so-called experts keep saying he can't throw the deep ball?!? They clearly don't watch film. I'll be shocked if Minshew beats him out for the starting spot. The QB, I think, who will shock EVERYONE, is Anthony Brown. No one, and I MEAN NO ONE, is talking about him or giving him a shot at starting, and he can do it all!
I think all the pieces are there for a potent offense that will have success in Getty’s scheme. It will be good to see some ol’ style smash mouth football again. It’s time to get back to our roots and start dominating again. Love the videos and content as usual. Great job Carl!
This is Aidans team. Minshew is being paid like a backup and its what he was brought in for. What i find funny is how fans and the mediots keep click baiting Raider fans into believing minshew is the starter. Minshew has been let go by 3 teams already. Folks, if he was a starter, they would have kept him as the starter. His arm limitations is going to set the offense back. And second, if you were a starter, why would you take backup money. For all the Aidan haters. Stop your hating already, and start supporting your STARTING QB, AIDAN O CONNELL...
@elsalsero417 He's the highest paid "back-up" besides Zach Wilson and Trey Lance who are both busts on rookie deals. He's won 2 playoff games and has balled everywhere he's played. He's on a very short list of fringe starting back ups, and is at the top of that list. He's better than AOC & I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starter. Antonio Peirce also said he didn't want a bandaid at the QB position, yet here we are. Idgaf about AOC going into camp as the starter. It's his job to lose
@@elsalsero417 I don’t care who are opening day starter is I’m excited and think we are gonna win with either I just don’t believe Aiden is the clear cut starter no matter what I see on social media, he didn’t do enough, they were planning on drafting penix or Jayden but they wanted a back up plan if that failed and I think minchew is that back up plan, I can tell the new coordinator and AP wants a more mobile quarterback but i think they are gonna have a true QB competition. We going to the playoffs with either though
@@crob949 Ive known since last season, Aidan was going to be the starter going forward. Doesn't make him the franchise QB. Just the QB who will lead the Raiders to playoffs. As much as I am an Aidan supporter, he has to prove himself. Aidan has no excuses.
YES IT IS AND HE CAN HANDLE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m excited about the Raiders future, the west coast offense can be a very effective ball control offense but it takes a lot of discipline because it usually takes long sustained drives to score unlike a quick strike offenses so the more plays it takes to score the more opportunities for mistakes arise like stupid penalties, turnovers, dropped passes and such, but I believe if anyone can get this team playing like a well disciplined team it’s AP so our future could be promising.🤞
It's built around Minshew he's the one who plays great with the two TE set & he's going to win the starting spot he's way ahead of AOC in most things & his mobility will be the biggest factor imo
The mere fact that AP and Telsco wasn’t willing to give up a kings ransom to move up lead me to believe that AOC might shock a lot of us this season, just my opinion
People don’t get it Aiden was in west coast system in collage Purdue he was dominating in deep passes and good in targets it all comes down to pre season who does it better under Luke Getsy
Hmmm, now that AOC changed his jersey # to #12 like Aaron Roger's # when he played fior GB and DA kept #17 and with LG as the OC that will run the WC offense, does this mean we have become the Green Bay Packers of the west? So, this is probably why DA is happy. He killed it in GB with these numbers and coach combo.😄
Thanks as always Carl and thanks for laugh "STOP thinking it's hazardous for you" pertaining to those complaints about drafting Bowers. I am looking forward to see AOC this year
I think a dool threat running back would take the offense scary here's my reasoning O'Connell reminds me of Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk was the other essential peace of the greatest show on Turf
I really hope you’re right and we run two TE sets super often. This means not running Tre Tucker as much which hurts, but our oline cant handle blitzs or long time pass blocking. I just don’t see us doing it that often- definitely could be wrong.
Ok man- know what you did? Just put me back on the hope train. I was sitting ready to watch this season go by like a deep rebuild. But after watching this a couple times- I’m buying in.
its really all riding on him now. he has a chance to become a legend if succesful and with a scary D, a new stud TE and all around complete receiving corps that will now have teams conflicted about whether to double adams or not, he has the weapons(assuming everyone gels). alot of pressure sure but at the same time if he can be great, hell be laughing his way into raiders history and become the franchise. alot riding and its all in his hands now. he does good i think the raiders will put the league on notice and have a solid new reputation as being a team you do not look forward to playing instead of them basically being another bye week on teams schedules. this is thw raiders' chance to really change their narrative and make up for alot of bad football over the past few decades. its their time if they want it bad enough. cmon raiders, lets get back to being a team opposition feared instead of being on the backend of the other team's highlight reels all the time. GO RAIDERS!!!
Carl I want AOC or Minnshew to excel in this offense. I thought AOC did pretty good for not playing the entire season. The only thing I didn’t like was he seemed a little gunshy about hitting the deep guy or open guy at times. I guess that comes with more confidence in your abilities and teammates. I did like that he did launch the ball and we would’ve never gotten that Jimmy G or Hoyer. I’m excited for this season and can’t wait to prove all the experts and pundits wrong. We are expected to be in last place again. What’s this 10 years in a row now… lol 😂
As a reminder for those with a short memory: the Raiders set a points scored record with a 63-21 win over the Chargers, and Mr. O'Connell was the winning QB in that game. AOC!
Bowers is the anti-Waller... Darren would fold to the ground the instant a 180lb CB touched him... Brock plows through LBs and Safeties and, even if they can hold on, he drags them 10 yards up the field!
I like this guy's videos but I have to disagree with AOC as the QB fit for this offense. In Getsy's offense from his schemes from Greenbay to Chicago there was a lot of plays with boots, rollouts and some rpo. Looks to fit Minshew more which I'm good with
I think we get suspicious on anything our team does bec of all the stupid things they have done for over 20 years . But this year we made good picks n choices.
I think AOC makes major strides this year and everyone thinks he can't run but he runs a 4.6 40, maybe things slow down for him this year and he will learn to move in the pocket and run for some yardage
*If* Brady did come play for the Raiders half the season... Brady could wear *#10* his college number, so AOC wearing #12 wouldn't be a problem for Brady. Just saying Carl but i doubt that will happen brady playing
This is why rather use the QBs we have now over Tom Brady, Ryan Tannehill, Dak, or any other QB available not to mention Brown & Bradley battling for depth as well!
I don't know O'Connell's stats in that situation but his base package at Purdue was 12 personnel. But again, Pierce is the head coach and he said O'Connell is his guy until someone beats him out. Minshew isn't consistent enough to do that while O'Connell is still growing.
I'd say its built more around Minshew than AOC. But regardless it's not built around neither. We still need a QB to win the SB. Neither QB we have is it
