AIDAN O’CONNELL THROWS ON THE RUN IN OTAs; SHOWS ZIP & ACCURACY WHILE COMPETING WITH MINSHEW FOR QB1

[@lindagreene3635]

Just goes to show you what hard work and dedication brings! AOC looks like a completely different quarterback!

[@tonycapil1022]

AOC making big strides and combining that with his accuracy=🤯. Minshew looking natural and smooth on the run.

[@improx6477]

AOC looks like a complete different person 😭 the difference in body type compared to last year is crazy. This season is going to be a good one I’m ready for it! RAAAAAIIIDDDDDEEEERRRSSSS!!!

[@rosspok]

The kid 12 is smooth you gotta give him that

[@SamsungSamsung-en8mp]

A mobile AOC is going to open up the offense.

[@idmemo3942]

As long as he starts doing it. He will be great.

[@RamonZuniga8311]

He's only doing that because of OTAs and because he's heard stuff of him being the statue in the pocket

[@RamonZuniga8311]

He'll be much improved this year

[@tylertoten6818]

AOC looking stronger and his voice has more authority. Hopefully he keeps improving, we need him!!!

[@davidvanwieren8067]

Huge improvement! His confidence will grow a lot this year too.

[@area51discgolf]

First team snaps! Adian didn't have that last year... he'll be fine I think.

[@VeganRaiderDMV]

Im trying to see more #13 to compare with AOC .he looked good last year, backing up Lamar Jackson ...he could be a diamond in the rough 🤔

[@thaynezito1257]

Omg. You mean. He threw running 3/4 speed vs no Defebse😊

[@dy0rama]

All I'm seeing so far in OTA's is Aidan O'Connell throwing darts left and right, #12 is the best qb in the room and it's not even close. He will start week 1

[@sparky1019]

I 100% disagree. This is a practice that a ten year old could do. How do you see all of that? And it’s a drill. Who knows if he will improve his mobility in games at all. He almost overthrew a few of those. The way he throws make them look more like “darts” than I think they actually are. He did nothing Minshew didn’t do. I thought Minshews were better and a little more like darts. They were not so much lift that can get intercepted.

[@dy0rama]

@sparky1019 I'm just commenting on what I've seen in the video. AOC looks better than the other 3 qb's in my opinion. But hey, maybe a ten year old knows better than the both of us lol

[@sparky1019]

@@dy0rama maybe lol. I just meant they were simple drills that (in my opinion) AOC didn’t stand out at all in. I think Minshew looked cleaner and threw better. I think we are going to have a great season no matter who starts. I personally think Minshew will take us farther. I think Aiden is a nice kid and works hard but he is not a leader. Maybe a Raider but not a Raider leader.

[@malibu_67lowridersofla70]

Looking good, I can’t wait until joint practices and preseason

[@shawnmartinelli9192]

He,s got a canon

[@raiderrog6412]

Who is qb number 13 and 14?

[@geno1825]

#13 is QB Anthony Brown Jr. that was a backup QB for Lamar Jackson/Ravens & #14 QB Carter Bradley(rookie )Gus Bradley's/defensive coach in NFL son

[@jerelstringfellow7040]

Every pass # 13 threw the receiver drop. Sad he caught everyone's else passes

[@Swoldemort500]

#13 is Anthony Brown

[@kingbryant82]

Yea whats that about .. they balls he threw didnt look bad at all

[@shawnstandiford6008]

I was wondering what you were talking about so I hung around and watched it. He dropped every pass and then put his hands on his head like oh me. What the heck was that about?

[@Bhuddiman]

Yea a few workouts ago I seen Carter throw better than Anthony

[@Bhuddiman]

As AOC over minshew

[@BaddHabitRabbit]

Just wanted to out it out there!?.. I was trying to think of a REAL nickname for our boy "AOC"👈🤮 SO generic right?? Anyhow.. I really sat back & gave it ALOT of thought ( I wanted it to be Cool af!!..And unique to ALL others!! ( ☝️of ☝️) with that being said? Watching Aiden 🧐 closely during these OTA's.. One thing JUMPS out at me from day 1!? ( His incredible accuracy!! ) So I wanted to HONOR our 1st year (under center) STARTING QB for our Las Vegas Raiders!! aka : "🎯ART VADER!! " 🙌

[@sparky1019]

Really? I think he always throws a little high. Easy to pick off

[@geno1825]

Farva 🤣

[@capecodraiders47]

Aidan is clearly the starting QB just from a physical perspective. I do think it is possible Minshew will come into the game like Mariota did a few years ago. However that's the physical assessment, the reading defenses and knowing the playbook thing will likely be resolved later. Raiders had one of the worst offenses last year, I could even envision Minshew and O'Connell on the field at the same time, if nothing else to get the team to burn a TO. Raiders have a long way to go. No one was rushing these QB's. No defenses were being disguised. No OL has gelled. No offensive team is a machine in general. Measured expectations.

[@edwinramos4910]

AOC is obviously the best "passer". He's accurate, smooth, and has a quick and very smooth release. But, the throwing while moving aspect of it still looks a bit like a work in progress. Minshew on the other hand looks good anytime he's on the move...smooth, quick, and comfotable. But, he's not as accurate as AOC, and that halfway sidearm release is a bit quirky.

[@EthanStenhouse-dp7ic]

You do realize this drill is about the QBs right the running backs just running up field. Like why are we going off the rollouts from the QBs throwing on the run to watch a running back just run upfield.

[@Bison_45_Dubs]

Uncle Rico and Farva, nasty work

[@1mchlvsn22]

just zoom out on the camera so we can see the play develop better

[@youngdrudown]

They’re not necessarily showing a play develop, it’s to show the QB practicing handing the ball off to the RB while also practicing short throws on the run.

[@1mchlvsn22]

@@youngdrudown right so why zoom to the point where you can’t see both players mechanics

[@youngdrudown]

@@1mchlvsn22 well, obviously you’re not just a casual fan, otherwise you wouldn’t be on KZbin watching videos of an OTA at the end of May. So, I understand why you would want to see the mechanics of all the players involved, I wouldn’t mind that either, but I think this is mainly for media and people who want to see QB’s, WR’s and big names like Maxx Crosby.

[@RK-ck6pl]

It's an rpo. But they're giving reps to the rb and qb. It's not a full play.

[@SantaBarbaraSongbird]

Take advantage of every single rep, Aidan. They all matter.🫡 Boom . . .perfection. There you go!!!😎

[@stevenalva8229]

The next Tom Brady 😅

[@ObliviouslyGifted]

You do realize he was drafted literally because he has Tom Brady traits that the former coach and GM show in him.

Aiden is Hungary

[@kodaboss8974]

Every film I’ve seen so far Garner is either under or over throwing it’s barely on point

[@sparky1019]

I disagree. . I think Aiden overthrows a lot. A few times on this clip even. Ive been watching a lot of past film on Minshew and the more I see the more I like. He was never hired as qb1 either i think that would make a difference. Plus every single team he has worked with says he is a motivator and a leader. He also gets literally no support from anyone. There is no news or mention of him at all. It’s all about O’Connell. I think they should all be supported and cheered on by coaching staff. Everyone is so far up O’Connell’s ass for some reason. He is nice and works hard. Doesn’t make him a leader though

[@toyasparkman9727]

I’m going to say this again, I would be shocked if Aiden is the starter. There is nothing wrong with Aiden sitting for a couple years. Then if he is ready let him take over.

[@LubeGehrig]

[@tylertoten6818]

why is number 13 stopping and jumping in the air every time he throws the ball?

[@LubeGehrig]

Because he is garbage

[@RobCipher]

#14 was very smooth with it. The worst one by far was #13.

[@sparky1019]

I don’t think he did bad. strange the guy couldn’t catch any from 13 even if they were straight to him.

[@RobCipher]

@sparky1019 Idk, too me he seemed slow and jumpy. Also, the fact that almost all of his throws were quite wobbly shows that his throwing motion and release isn't very fluid or great. It's also kind of concerning because this is a simple practice drill with little pressure, so that ball should come out like butter. Could be wrong of course, but that's just what I see.

[@sparky1019]

@@RobCipher I agree he wasnt the best but there was no reason for most of those not to be caught

[@RobCipher]

@sparky1019 I agree, but at the end of the day, I doubt the coaches are judging if they are caught or not, but rather, if they were catchable.

[@sparky1019]

And so did Minshew.

[@sparky1019]

AOC also almost overthrew it a few times Fingers crossed AOC will actually move in games too. but Minshew has literally no support and I think he will surprise people. I hope he gets his shit at starting and not just backup someday

[@DevanRock1]

@@sparky1019 yeah Minshew should be the starter. He's more accurate, creates out of broken plays, and doesn't fold under pressure. He's never been given a proper shot. I'm afraid it's about to happen again. Those throws on the run are a lot easier without a DE chasing you. Minshew has proven he can make those throws in a game, AOC has not.

[@toyasparkman9727]

The only way I see Aiden starting is if minshew gets injured or AP says that’s his guy because he didn’t cost him the job. And I like Aiden, and I think we can win the 🏆with him, it just would be more difficult.

[@408baylien3]

Let me guess, this is yall year?

[@sparky1019]

Hell ya it is. I just disagree with all the AoC fanboys. I think he is a back up. Tops. I think we make it because whoever the an is has an awesome team around him with an Amazing coaching staff that know how to light the fire
