Film Study: Gardner Minshew Or Aiden O’Connell For Raiders Starting Quarterback

[@jamesjross]

AOC is our starting QB. We had money left to get the BEST backup in the league - so we did. AOC will not give up his job.

[@BenRahi]

I’m seeing so many fans high on AOC. 😊 AOC was a rookie with an inexperienced OC running the offense. AOC will acclimate to NFL level speed and mental agility. He played better than most first round QB rookies. Peyton Manning had a rough first year and shined in his third. Hope Aiden gets better fast and he does have a good team around him. Especially pass catchers all around.

Coaching Qbs for years and having to evaluate Qbs and make decisions of who will be the starter, my experience lends to think that Aidan will beat out Gardner. Gardner does have better off schedule play making skills, that is easy to see. However, Aidan plays the Qb position better. The kid has the poise and the football IQ needed to last a long time in this league. When looking at these 2 as a comparison, one has to look at the defensive units and defensive minds they faced. Gardner faced some stiff defensive minds from New England, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Cinncinati. Played well in 2 of them. Struggled in the other 2. Aidan, who I thought played well in his first start but no way was it a master piece, to me is a wasted game to even discuss because of who was calling the plays. Not that Aidan ever had a decent play caller all season seeing that Bo Hardigree had never done it and was learning the skill of play calling week to week. If we begin with his first start under AP, the kid had to face in succession defensive minds Wink Martindale of the Giants, then a week later the NY Jets unit, then Vic Fangio in Miami, then Spagnola of KC, and then Brian Flores of Minnesota. He gets a break with Staley vs the Bolts, then right back to Spagnola, and Gus Bradley of Indianapolis. I kept saying last season, this was the best thing for Aidan O'Connell. A true baptismal of NFL great defensive minds. Aidan kept improving weekly. Even in the Christmas game where he threw for just 62 yards, Spagnola couldn't force a big mistake by the rookie. Every game the Raiders had a real shot of winning each game. Even in the Minnesota game, it was a fumble by Renfrow deep in the scoring area and a dropped deep pass by Tucker that cost them that game. I have no clue for sure who will win the job. I like both kids a lot. It's just that my coaching eyes tell me Aidan should be the favorite. Either way, good luck to both and Go Raiders!

Aidan is going to keep the job. The front office didnt draft a qb bcuz they want to give Aidan 100% opportunity. So he has no one over his shoulder. You dont build an offense for a backup qb. What dont people understand. 3 teams have let him go. Minshew is just a backup.. Interesting you dont talk about minshew weak arm. You dont think adams going to get pissed off when he doesnt get his stats?? His weak arm eliminates the vertical game, which is what Getsy utililizes. There is no story here. But if you want to keep bringing it up, i will keep defeating anyones argument for Minshew. For those who are looking for a Minshew video, go to youtube and type in gardner minshew sucks. Eagles fans dont seem to like him. minshew played with a talented eagles team and didnt perform well

[@raideralexofficial]

I did mention Gardner and his arm when he threw that sitting duck of an INT and yes Minshew has been a backup but we also don’t know how much AOC will improve in year 2 and if our offensive line struggles especially in pass protection Gardner gives us a better chance to create plays using his legs. I think this is going to be a close QB battle and I wouldn’t be shocked if we saw them both start at some point next season

[@elsalsero417]

@@raideralexofficial my mistake I missed that part. But I see too many minshew videos and they keep neglecting his arm. Mobility in a QB is overrated. Goff, Stafford and even old man Flacco showed everyone you could win a non mobile QB. I don't think we see minshew unless Aidan gets hurt.

All we have for film on him is from his rookie year, it’s better than the film from mahomes, Brady’s and Rodger’s rookie years. Give the kid time before comparing him to a vet.

AOC. I feel confident if Minshew needs to go in.

[@bookwormdoe1522]

Minshew, because he beat the Raiders! And, he knows how to win games. He could very well end up the Franchise QB. My sense is that the Raiders will make the playoffs, and he will be a big reason why. They just have to cut him loose like Mike Leach did. Half the time he called his own plays, or made an adjustment.😮 I have no doubt that the Colts blew the last play that could’ve gotten them into the playoffs …if they had just let Gardner call that last play to be a RPO.

[@Navigator001]

He went 9~8. Aidan as a rookie went 5~4. His last four games were pretty good, if you double what Aidan did, he would be 10~8 not including his massive improvement with only 9 games under his belt as a rookie. I like Gardner, but he is just a "little boy".

[@mikeronald3812]

@@Navigator001 Minshew was 9-6 when he started or played most of the games last year. Keep in mind the Colts had arguably the worst wr group in the nfl. Minshew was 3rd in the NFL last year in completed passes over 40 yards. He was also 3rd last year in passes completed over 50 yards. And he played less than the 2 qb's ahead of him which were Purdy and Tua. Colts had Pittman who is a dawg and a nice slot rookie in Josh Downs. After that Alec Pierce is a backup and they had a hodgepodge of tight ends.

[@toyasparkman9727]

But other people will tell you Minshew has no arm 🤦‍♂️

[@Stuntfish]

I think Minshew has a lot of gun slinger in him and he is fairly mobile. AOC had a game where he didn't make a completion the whole first half. Minshew = fun to watch lots of energy AOC = Nice guy, game manager, will lean on his recivers to make plays.

[@alexthegod2]

the thing that scares me the most with Minshew is when he cant set his feet and throws off balance off one foot. The ball floats with little velocity. It just screams INTERCEPT ME! LOL. AOC has the stronger arm, but he needs an elite OL in front of him to be successful since he cant move at all. Its going to be an interesting battle.

[@Rigamus11]

There's no way anyone who has watched both of these guys play thinks O'Connell's arm is stronger than Minshew's. Neither have a cannon but Minshew's arm is quite obviously better

[@itk.r8rsn8k15]

@@Rigamus11 I was looking at Minshew's highlights. He usually underthrows his WRs on deep passes. Most of his passes are medium range variety. He's closer to Jimmy G. AOC has much stronger arm and is more accurate with the deep ball. But Minshew is more mobile.

I'm sorry, but all the things you a picking apart on AOC is expected as a 4th round rookie. That was throwing into the lineup with very limited reps with the starters. I get that you're trying to be unbiased, but a rookie vs. a vet is already an unfair comparison. If you really want to see how AOC did last year. Put him up against Bryce Young, or dude in Tennessee. Or another 4th round rookie QB that started!! AOC is going to be better than Minshew besides as a runner but that doesn't have to be AOC's game. He just needs to play to his strengths. Kid can make ALL the throws, and he isn't afraid to throw in tight coverage! He's only going to get better with more experience!

[@hummervs3278]

I think you should break out your stop watch and time those couple plays where you said he held on to it too long. 1.35 is not too long, that is failure of the offensive line. Aiden and Minshew are basically lower grades of Carr. Minshew won’t improve a lot more than he already has shown. Aiden has the possibility to do it, we’ll see (I hope so). This is the same reason I been screaming about a better offensive line. If you have a top 5 QB, you can win with a top 10 line. But when our line isn’t top 10 and neither is the QB- you have issues where the discussion is can we have a 10/7 or maybe 11/6 season. Give either Minehew or Aiden a top 5 O-line combined with this defense we have where we only need one more killer corner- and we have a legitimate shot at it all.
