Rooting so hard for this young man what an incredible journey he has been on so much like Gannon, Plunkett and others, that we’ve rescued along the way!

[@modestopimpin4549]

Not rescued but fate. These guys were Raiders at heart, as soon as they put that jersey on it was clear. So it's fate. Just Win Baby 🏴‍☠️

[@AmEn1R]

Minshew just feels right man. QB1 or QB2 doesn’t even matter it just feels like he has something to contribute.

[@11FRANZILLA11]

Love his laid-back demeanor, kinda reminds me of AJ Cole. I hope he does well as a modern day Snake!✊🏽🏴‍☠️

[@michaelmoyer4253]

I was thinking the same thing...I was like...I wonder if he'll choose #12 lol

[@Davantae_Adams]

Minshew Mania!!!! Love this signing for a competitive QB room!

[@trevwilliams2138]

While a different personality that Stabler, he has that same renegade attitude. He really fits the Raiders

[@charlessuave6218]

Dude shout out to Eddie man. Asking the great questions and keeping the interview fluid.

[@raidertiwn1755]

💯💪🏿

[@johnnylo155]

Eddie is awesome

[@tyguy9067]

Haha I like this guy man

[@stevebraun4988]

I like this guy more and more every time i hear him speak. This guy is as chill the snake was.

Fired up to have this dude! 🏴‍☠️😎

[@riikyramirez6547]

Fired up is a bit strong but he'll be decent for us definitely an upgrade

[@osvaldoaldana6181]

Love this dudes energy seems like a chill guy to have a beer with lol

[@raidertiwn1755]

Absolutely

[@Ipadilla79]

This dude can ball man, outside and inside the pocket.

[@Swoldemort500]

He WOULD have an interaction with the snake. I would not be mad at all if Minshew is our starter. If you watch his tapes especially last year with the colts, he doesn't get the amount of respect that he deserves. He's not the most elite guy by any stretch but he still is a really good Qb.

[@rmando1968]

OMG! I'm an older gentleman and I was thinking how much he reminds me of the snake Kennny Stabler rugged wild has a hippie mentality . 100 percent, let's see what baby Stabler dose!

[@tripp8833]

Stabler had a much better arm. Minshew can’t throw deep. It’s more likely AOC is starting next year, than Minshew. He is here as a premium back up and in case AOC doesn’t improve.

[@hermanmelville3871]

@@tripp8833If Minshew isn’t starting Week 1 I’ll be shocked. AOC did what we needed to given the circumstances, but he’s not better than this man.

[@JRizzle20019]

Awesome comparison, I thought the same thing he does give those Kenny Stabler vibes!!!

[@tripp8833]

@@hermanmelville3871 AOC was 3-2 in the AFC west, in his rookie year, after getting no reps under McDummy. And you guys already want to throw him under the bus. I guess winning at arrowhead, and beating the Bolts 63-21, isn’t enough…

[@Doomzday831]

Happy to have you on the Raiders! Welcome to the Nation!!!!! RN4L

[@nyne9611]

Wishing him all the best! Thank you for such a fun great season last year with Colts. Hope he does well and I'm going to hear from my family who are raider fans too 😂

[@raidertiwn1755]

I'm a fan. Love his swag and demeanor. 💪🏿🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@zaimusic_150]

Don’t sleep on this man. He’s gonna be great for our locker room. I’ve wanted him on this team since he played for the Jags

[@alexcaz4833]

He definitely caught my eye when he played for the Jags.

[@presidentoftheunitedsteaks8220]

Minshew mania!!!

[@shakazulu1483]

He is a Raider, all through 😅

[@JohnSmith-if4et]

The WSU coach that plucked this WINNER out of obscurity Mike Leach @ WSU was a fan of Pirate history. Leach (RIP) is looking down and smiling from above! Go COUGS! You have your key guy to take the Raiders back to the Super Bowl even Al Davis is happy with this one….Snake 2 about to unleash the hurt on opposing teams.

[@EshockT]

His 2.5 TD:INT Ratio is top 10 since 2019 for QBs that have over 1400 pass attempts.

[@davemanning2719]

He looks like a Raider to me. Just win baby.

[@JohnSmith-if4et]

All he knows how to do besides WORK HARD at being the BEST!

[@luiscarrillo7814]

Rooting for this dude. Dude just has straight swagger a perfect raider. 💪☠️🏈

[@Headysgallery]

People don’t get how good this man could be for us. I really hope he leads these boys to the promise land. I’ve truly loved his gritty vibe since the day he came into the league. Really cool to see him apart of the silver and black

[@bm373]

Anyone with a brain knows he's starting! ✌️🇺🇸

[@madmaxizcool4599]

Rich Gannon pt 2,luv the energy he gives off,w the defense we have THIS DUDE CAN TAKE US 2 SB, REMEMBER I SAID IT!!!!!!!

[@sfGiantsboi03]

Exactly!! You don’t give a guy $25M to sit on the bench.

[@SoSo-hx7dy]

@@sfGiantsboi03we’re only paying him like 7.5m a year two years.

[@toastytopics2614]

HE'S THE GUY!

[@48Ghostrider_]

Minshew gives me the Gannon Journeyman QB Vibe who May have just Found his Opportunity to make this His Team. He got his own cool Swag and just Fits right here!

[@stevenvicijan4338]

The only thing missing was giving him a Coors Light at the end, there.

[@reggiewilson4577]

Or a joint

[@mariojr8661]

Hell yea love this pick up. Go raiders!

[@djones811]

So he was in the running for the Heisman trophy!!!! I didn't know that. Tom's research on this guy is refreshing

[@jamesBrian-lu4kj]

Read his Washington State bio..... accolades galore..going back to HS hall of fame and academic 4.0

[@JohnSmith-if4et]

He was being recruited by Alabama! When Mike Leach @ WSU told him….You can be a “second stringer” or become the leading passer of the NCCA @ WSU….What would you rather be doing? Minshew beat Arizona 69-28 that year as a Cougar would have probably never played at Bama! Hard worker and actually a great gamer….Minshew has the “fires burning in him”….They better damn well build a good offense around this guy and the rest will take care of itself. Never been a Raiders fan until now👍

[@epants8507]

I am stoked we have this guy.....Raiiiiiiiiiiidersssssss

[@johnhays3073]

Loving this Praying Always GO Raiders and Thank you Loving this I believe Raiders

[@parsapersian80]

AOC needs the competition and let the best man win.

[@jamesBrian-lu4kj]

Ah..it's 15 mil to what..League minimum guy?..if this was a court case one would plead NoContest

[@FirstNameDangerous1]

There is no competition, minshew will bring more yardage and more TD

[@parsapersian80]

@FirstNameDangerous1 you do realize aoc was a rookie last year in the hardest position in NFL with a horrible coach like mcdaniels for half the season. Even the greats struggle not everyone comes out of college slinging. Atleast he had very little picks and didn't lose us the games.

[@mitchellthompson5110]

As true raider man I was a little down on this pick up at first but after I thought about how he played against us and now hearing him talk (he sounds like a raider!) RNFL 🏈

[@jamesBrian-lu4kj]

He beat Raiders in last Oakland home game...and again last year...Max will end up his biggest fan of he wins

[@diggndemgutts247]

The "qb pocket" will now be known as "the hot box"

[@petercox6720]

the legend grows, Minshew met the Snake!!

[@TheOneJPtv]

Surfer Boy Minshew sounds a Raider to me.

[@DimebagWuest]

GM is the starter. He has the ability to lead an offense. Put some respect on him man, lets see what happens. Defense wins championships! Now get Oline help and another CB.

[@chadieladdie]

Eddie, your ability to continue a conversation and go with the flow of things is pretty impressive brother, keep up the great work! MINSHEW MANIAAAAAA

Mad Stabler vibes!!! Love this stud!

[@cfann8787]

low key want him to start, he is jacked about being a raider

[@bookwormdoe1522]

A MUCH MORE interesting question would have been-------"In noticing the Raider's emblem with the swords, I think of the great Mike Leach, your WSU Head Coach, and his 'Swing your Sword" book......what did he teach you, Gardner? and how did he affect your life?"

[@user-og4ke8om5m]

Dude, I think we're gonna have an awesome QB room with this guy. He and O'Connell are going to battle it out and make eachother better. With Wilkins and Menshew we instantly have atleast 10 to 12 wins

[@kevin-jh7js]

Good signing 👍🏿

[@makabroraider3321]

It would be wild he gets us to the playoffs

Funny that he mentioned meeting Snake, because I thought during his press intro that he kind of reminded me a little of him, with the beard, the long hair and the southern drawl.

Still need another QB in the draft with real potential, Minshew is a stop-gap, AOC is back-up material

[@JohnSmith-if4et]

Real potential….you obviously never watched this guy play! You can’t “find WILL 2 WIN!” like Minshew has in his heart….Go buy yourself a 49ers jersey! Minshew is A RAIDER! You’re lucky to have him in his prime with experience and abilites that few posses….Let me guess you were a fan of “Cupcake” Derrick Carr? Carr folds up like a cheap suitcase under pressure! Minshew THRIVES on pressure! He’s Stabler reincarnated👍
