Most raider nation is pulling for AOC to win the qb position
I saw something special in Aidan in pre-season last year . His 10 starts during the season did nothing but reinforce my confidence in him becoming great !
I thought he looked great in preseason as well. And played well for a rookie getting thrown into the fire. Throwing 4 TDs in a game isn’t something to just gloss over, he balled out towards the end of last year 👍🏾
Did everyone just forget this dude was putting up 30 to 35 points every pre season game, any other rookie who preformed that well would have/should have got the chance to start. That first start against the chargers josh sabotaged him, when he finally did get the start he only got better. Those last 5 games, only one turnover come on!!!
I saw 12 win the starting job last year...easily....yes he won the job and tge whole team saw what I saw.....
@jamiecsala8449 he did so against 3rd and 2nd string players that don't mean he can compete against against full time starters
@@deetony211ypu do when it's against a weak defense that was averaging mid 20's a game. Do you henstly believe everyone got fired cause they lost to a good raiders team come on they all got fired cause they blew many games that year and thr management didn't like the black eye of losing to a bad team offensively.
O'Connell is being given the Brock Purdy treatment by the self-appointed experts. They'll continue to be overly critical of his game no matter how well he does. Since they didn't find him, they will assume that any of his successes will be either luck, or the credit will go to someone else the same way they did that to Brock Purdy. Many of these same East coast elite sports writers are still saying that the 49ers would have won the SB if they'd have had 'better' QB play. Theyre just too egotistical to admit they didn't see him coming. AO12 will have a solid, if not excellent, season and a long, productive career. This is based on his history of walking on at Purdue as the 8th QB on the depth chart, then proceeding to take Drew Brees's name completely out of their record books. Expect nothing less with the Raiders. I don't.
Boom!
Bam
Media falls in love and over hypes the 1st rounders. Remember Trey lance or Zach Wilson just to name 2 1st round busts
Difference between Brock Purdy and AOC is the stats that prove your point only reason AOC won games is cause of a defensive turn around. AOC didn't throw a single 300 yard game thr entire time even the so called famous 4 touchdown game. How many QB win games throwing 9/21 with 0 TD I'm going to say not many. What you sating just makes Brock Purdy story seem even better cause AOC got selected at a higher pick and preforms better game to game and more consistently.
What else is Hoyar going to say? Is he going to say AOC sucks? How does that help Hoyar in any way to throw shade?
I’ve been an Aidan fan from day one! He’s maturating at every level! I’m looking forward to watching him this year.
AOC all the way
Never thought I'll here anyone praise, "AOC", on a Raiders channel 😅
Aiden has very good accuracy and can read defenses well as a rookie. His upside is well above Uncle Rico.
I like both Qbs! But there is something special about Aiden! He is a tactician. As we will see here in the next few weeks into season. The kid is very smart!
Boy has heart shows it in that frst game against Chargers
Not sure if O’Connell is long term future, but expect him to take nice step forward this year. He demonstrated poise, leadership and clutch skills in his rookie year. Arm isn’t elite and he will occasionally look bad when he can’t escape pressure, but he can learn to move in the pocket once he gets used to speed of game. People sleeping on this kid! That said, he’s learning new offensive system, so have patience Raider fans!!
O'Connell had the deep ball connection with Tucker,Davante, and Jakobi last season with limited reps as a 3rd string rookie who only played half a season.
Minshew brings some things to the table but they arent the deep ball and accuracy.
O'Connell's the favorite.
I like Aidan. Hope he balls out and shows everyone what he is capable of
I'm impressed by AOC, not sure about him at first, but after watching him last year.. he is will be a good QB..
AOC looks like Jim plunkett back in the days he doesn't have to look pretty as long as he wins just like Jim plunkett
Hard work should be rewarded
The Autumn wind is blowing from the cow pile again this year. Just Win Baby during the season.
AOC ganna be a beast watch.
I don't see a scenario where AOC isn't the starter week one.
AOC's job to lose. Rooting for him big time.
AP has said that the job of QB1 is O'Connell's to keep or lose. So AOC will start the season. We did see massive improvement from him at the end of last season. So there should be no questions about it.
Good luck Aiden. Hope the best for the young guy. If it doesn't work, go Gardner!
O'CONNELL.......YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!!!!........NO DOUBT!!!!!
☠O'Connell #12☠RN4L☠
I think the general feeling is we want to see AOC just because we are not sure what his ceiling is whereas we think we know what Minshew is
AOC!!!
AOC for me!
I can’t speak for anyone else, but as for Me AOC12 gives the Raiders the best chance to compete for the division and even more.
He reminds me of a young Eli Manning.
Does he NEED to get better? YES!
Will he get better? Eli did and beat the Goat twice.
It’s puzzling that Vegas still has him as a betting under dog to be QB1 week 1, and that the Nation is so divided.
To me Minshew is a very good journeyman and a solid security blanket, nothing more than that.
Aidan needs to take the next step early in camp and solidify himself as “him”.
Been saying it all along. OConnell will be the starter. Go Raiders...
During the season I think it was Mariuchi who said Oconnel can play in the Nfl.
AOC. PERIOD.
I’m cautiously optimistic about AOC. Still has ton to prove but there is a lot of potential.
Being a Raiders fan and being burned so many times I can’t get too excited yet. I remember when we signed Jimmy G everyone including Max was raving about him at practice, and we all know how that turned out.
If he has fine tuned his pocket awareness, he'll be dangerous. He's accurate and has a strong arm. If they stay patient with him, he could be really good. It also depends on the rest of the team. No quarterback can carry a football team on his own.
I want the best player to be the starter, don’t care about the politics or coaches favorite, there is no room for that. The best player has to start
What about potential?
I really liked AOC last year. As things speed up for him year I think he will move better in the pocket. What most people don't know is he runs a 4.6 40 yd dash which is faster than Mahomes 4.8
They both ran a 4.7 at the combine but I do agree if you watch his tape from college (which it seems that almost no Raider fans did) especially an entire game , he moved around in the pocket pretty well. He's not elusive like Mahomes is but he scrambled pretty well too.
AOC all the way !!!!
If the competition is neck and neck then I think you should go with Aiden.
RAAAAAIDDDERRRS LETZ GOOOOOOO 💯❤️🔥🩶🖤✔️
Do not underestimate the Autumn Rifle!
We got a starter…his name is Gardner Minshew! But it’s nice to have a young guy who’s learning!
GARDNER is a reliable backup, that's it.
Believe me, we know crappy quarterbacking and that ain’t AOC. Smooth, accurate, and funny. Bill Walsh would’ve loved him! I don’t think it’s close -unless Minshew becomes more careful with the ball and can confidently manage the game without going off-script.
Since you asked at the start of this vid, I will answer now. It’s Aiden!
*AAAAAAAAAA-DENNNNNN! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
I want AOC to succeed. He has a lot of things going for him: He’s resilient. I saw improvement in his accuracy toward the end of the season. He’s got a quick release. He seems to learn from his mistakes. He appears to have gained the trust of players and coaches. He showed flashes of being able to connect with Devante, Jakobi, and Tre on deep routes.
That being said, if he gets the starting nod over Minshew, he’s going to struggle at times. His lack of mobility in the pocket is my biggest concern for him. When the pocket breaks down, he hasn’t yet shown the level of athleticism needed to buy extra time and make a play like Minshew does. And they both tend to make mistakes when making decisions under duress.
I’m predicting that AOC gets the nod over Minshew because of potential upside. But the growth and progression that we all hope for as Raider fans is not going to come in OTAs, it’s not going to happen in training camp, and it’s certainly not going to happen in a preseason game. If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen from making mistakes (and learning from them) in real games. That means he’s going to struggle at times this season, and we as Raider fans just need to accept it. Don’t have unrealistic expectations. Don’t buy into all the offseason hype.
Everything points to AOC moving forward this year. The fact that one of his WORST games statistically was a crushing of the Chiefs in K.C. says a lot about his leadership qualities & potential.(& the score should have been higher,everyone knows the refs will never give the Raiders any breaks!) Already chomping at the bit for the season to start. Go Raiders !!! I think All of their draft picks will contribute, especially Dylan Laube & some of the later round picks. Love how Bowers would have been a great pick to any team... But Las Vegas, of course.losing Jacobs hurts but White&co. should be alright Silver&Black attack in 2024! Raiders !!!!- D M.J.
Let him throw deep from midfield to score TDs rather than settle for 3 or nothing at all.
I JUST WANNA MAKE THE PLAYOFFS AND GET OUT THE FIRST ROUND AT THIS POINT ITS BEEN A REBUILDING YEAR SINCE I WAS 13 IM 34 NOW SHEESH LOL
I like O’Connell. Unfortunately, there’s really no way of getting around the fact that he can’t create with his feet. He started to compensate toward the end of last year by getting rid of the ball faster. Which helped. But it also led to inconsistency. It’s difficult in todays NFL for any strictly pocket QB to be effective when you’re lining up in shotgun on 83% of your snaps. The o-line would need to be a pass pro juggernaut (which the raiders do not have) & the offensive scheme would need to be tailored to O’Connell specifically (no idea what Getsy has planned). I hope he does well. But Minshew is a gamer & has the ability to evade some pressure. We’ll see. But I think the raiders will be relying heavily on that defense as they did the last 9 games of last season.
Just over 2 weeks ago , you people ( experts) say Aiden O'Donnell is struggling. Now you say different. Make up your mind.
They're struggling reports are based off the OTAs where Minshew and O'CONNELL were struggling qt the time. But like Adams said it's practice, that's the time when you want to get mistakes out the way. But their take on O'Connell now is based of what orevious okayers, currents okayersandciaches have said. Their takes equal what's said plus their own opinion, so technically their minds have been made up. It's not their fault you don't understand how journalism works.
AOC WILL BRING US BACK TO EXCELLENCE
Let’s be HONEST AOC is a “decent” backup HOWEVER, neither he nor Minshew are top 15 QB’s, AND THAT’S WHAT WE NEED.
Heard Dak is on the market. If that’s true, and the Raiders can get him, that would INSTANTLY make us a SB caliber team….with the defense we have!!!
Win, lose, or tie, RAIDERS TILL I DIE!!!!
Gardner will be the starter 🏉
All reports say both QB's played bad in minicamp just saying
But, they were installing a new offense and the Defense is on its 3rd year in the same system.
@theonlykog imo no matter the case if your playing bad you can't be that impressive, especially in mini-camp where you should be impressive
When training camp hits the defense is coming even harder, they have a long way to go before the word "impressive" should even be thrown around
@@R8erRay510CARRBAGE IS 🗑️
@@R8erRay510not true at all just because the offense over all struggled that doesn’t mean Aiden did !
@dabking3611 I agree I hated Carr n wanted him gone
If it were up to me Jimmy trash never gets signed & I give Ziegler the green light to trade up for Stroud the guy I wanted the whole time
AOC & Minshew are a waste of time we still need a QB
AAA-Dennnn! All the way!
Only one person has that decision and that’s coach AP
7-9 AO benched DA traded to jets or saints raiders trade for JF from Steelers or KC from falcons. Another year, #23 and counting to chalk up towards tebuilding
Anthony Brown
Minshew should be #1
AOC…
Wish AO12 didn't have to learn a whole new offense. Ideally, he should've sat out his rook season. Regardless, it's hard to build on whatever progress may have been made, even if just timing or the game slowing down, when having to learn a new playbook under a new OC that wasn't even the organizations first choice. Call it consistency, call it the 'Aaron Rogers' or 'Patrick Mahomes' path to success. Unfortunately, AO12 hasn't had much of that since being called on early to start, but I do like glimpses of what I saw. Best case scenario, we have the next Kurt Cousins. Worst case, the next Andrew Walters.
He has proven he can play in the NFL already, Walter just looked good in practice he never even looked good in preseason games.
Everyone except espn
If only AOC had legs.
AOC. #1 2:53
You’re asking people employed by the raiders lol 😂. No one is gonna say anything
Neither qb is a great qb1!!!!!
Dismiss Hoyer’s comments all you want, he’s got no incentive to make up a bunch of sh!t about a QB he’s no longer teammates with
I think there’s a good chance AOC takes this opportunity and makes the most of it
lol 😂 it’s practice dude isn’t getting hit chased or anything. Lol 😂
Aidan came in and PRODUCED wins immediately. What the heck do you want?! Minshew was a great addition. But somebody wants a NAME. A NAME may/may not produce. Speaking of...Prescott has been discussed...puke 🤮🤮🤮
If you want a 3d guy, get a kid to be developed.
PRODUCTION WINS GAMES!

AOC
Listen he walk on at purdue from a coach word of mouth he was like 6th qb didn't start full till junior year mom had a bad car accident lost his brother all going threw this he matured so much think he be special maybe not a top ten we see that a story gd night all
AOC is a second string on his best day! Don’t believe the hype
I hope you're wrong
Clown!
Hoyer is gaslighting Aiden sucks lol
Nobody is impressed by O'Connell outside of delusional Raiders fans. He's a back up caliber QB in a division with two elite QBs in Mahomes and Herbert, and a 1st round rookie. The Raiders will be lucky to win 4 games this year, AP is bankrupt. The bright side for the Raiders is they'll probably be picking in the top 5 in next year's draft, maybe they can get a real QB then.
They said the samething about Brady and Warner u clown!!
Says you nothing wrong with Raider fans believing in AOC it's funny how haters like you just come on any Raiders channel just to hate. Nobody talking about the Herbert who hasn't won a single playoff game since he been with lac..Raiders already proved that they can beat kc...And you dumb talking about 4 wins when you know you don't watch Raiders games..Go hate on another team
AP being bankrupt has nothing to with anything your just another hater just running they not having a clue what they are talking about and looking for attention you haters need to shut-up already we heard it all..Get a life and your lame opinion is not needed andrewbird..fly away
Impressed lol? He has to be the slowest and worst athlete as a QB I have ever seen .
I'm not sure he's even back up material. More like practice squad.
He ran a 4.7 at the combine the same 4.7 that Mahomes ran. He's not insanely elusive like Mahomes but if any of you armchair GMs would have watched any of his games from college you would know he moved around pretty well in the pocket and did a fair amount of scrambling too because his o-line wasn't very good. I'm not trying to say he's going to be a good pro QB because I don't know but neither does anyone else. The coaching staff seems to like him and they know a hell of a lot better than you guys who keep saying he sucks when you never even watched him play a game in college. Rookie QBs usually suck it doesn't mean shit, in fact he was pretty good for a rookie who had no reps as a starter and switched coaches and wasn't even supposed to play. I'm pretty sure the staff used a truncated offense with limited reads and he didn't have the ability or the option to scan the field and throw to whoever he wanted to. I expect him to struggle a bit early because he's already learning a new offense in his 2nd year. I'm 59 and have watched a lot of football and I think he has a good arm and he's accurate, what I don't know is does he have the brains to make fast reads because that will make or break any QB in the NFL.
@@jameshannagan4256 I'm 67 and have learned that Raiders fans are the most delusional fans in all of sports. O'Connell is not a starting QB, not if you want to win.
So was Brady... What's your point?!?
You’re comparing Aiden O’Connell to Tom Brady now? lol! Raiders fans truly are the most delusional fans in sports.
He had no prptection and still ball out now its time to give him a better oline
