Locked On Raiders, great video keep up the amazing work

[@gamerjim1]

WOW. That caller just nailed the Minshew choice! While the OL is in flux, play the mobile QB. After everyone is back and clicking, either can play.

[@michaelturner3761]

Just love watching my team play football

[@raiderdave4874]

Thanks Q. Good info about Minshew. He’s just a hippie that can ball out, given the chance. He’s been great in Relief, now it’s time to ball as a starter. Got Swag, Game, let’s Gooooo

[@thejuice5966]

JUST WIN BABY🍺🍻🥃💯

[@chancesareshewears]

so original.

[@tjirving54]

This is starting to sound like Jimmy G last year. "He's a winner" "He'll cash it in in the redzone". All I said last year and I'll say it this year, all this talk I want to see him DO IT!. I'm tired of this mobility is the "KEY" he can extend plays. I don't care about that, win the damn game. If he does that I'm all IN!!! TO ME and I'm just one guy, Aiden is technically a much better QB. Now he's inexperienced I wont argue that, He's in his 3rd offense inside of a year "HIS ROOKIE YEAR". That's the ONLY reason this makes sense. Gardner is a vet and he knows the league and his pre and post snap reads are better. BUT he bails on wide open receivers way too much because he can't see over the defense. He is an erratic passer but he's a "gamer". So I know who he is I studied him in college. He's a 'JAG'. So I hope for the best and brace for the worse, just like with Jimmy G.

[@user-yk6bl4tn1m]

Facts!!! Well said and I think we need to see what Aiden is. He looks a lot better to me. Better arm and WAY more accurate!!! I'm sick of wasting time with these middle of the road QBs. Let Aiden roll and see if he can be our QB of the future. If not we need to go all in next year on a QB. I saw enough from Aiden in 10 games last year and preseason this year to give him a shot. We know what Minshew is, inaccurate, not a very strong arm and this mobility talk is way over stated. Hes not Justin Fields or any of the other running QBs!!! Either way we need to stop talking about us being good and just go do it!!! Just WIN Baby!!!

[@devinsmith4862]

Well, I’m sorry to tell you this if you don’t know already, but Aiden is much worse. You can have the best arm in the league in today’s NFL but if you cannot move you won’t last long. It’s more about the defenses today. Everyone has great pass rushers your quarterback has to be able to extend plays when the pocket collapses and AOC can’t do it.

[@CrookedGen]

We will see how it all works out, I have been on my soapbox about why AOC should get the start accuracy,poise in the pocket, upside….he lacks experience and I will go with what AP and the rest of the crew take out beloved team, but know this…Menshew will not be running all over the place and throwing erratic passes long short leash for the “VET” with more experience…being mobile ain’t crap if you can’t throw the ball with accuracy and make sound decisions. I’d rather take my lumps with AOC and let him learn and develop to see what we get but Menshew is the man and he better take advantage or RAIDER NATION WILL RISE AND GET HIM OUTTA HERE LIKE JIMMY G. With all that being said I’m in support of our team let’s go!! R4L

[@larceowalters4717]

We are definitely drafting our franchise quarterback in the 2025 draft. These two are backups at best.

[@alexthegod2]

This OL is so bad right now, AOC won't stand a chance until they fix that, Parham looks especially bad.

[@MrBuffalosoldier34]

Bottom line its not on one man for a team's success. Everyone has to put in. Play hard, no mistakes. And just find a way to win !

[@bigperro2700]

RAAAAAAAAIDERRRRRRRRS

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

RAIDER FANS ALL SHOULD BE IN THE MOVIE

[@shortyblack7324]

Bmore SALUTE Raiders Nation

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

NATION TRUST OUR COACHING STAFF

[@justin_Sa]

You mean trust our gm tom telesco who is not a true raider … he was on the chargers for 13 years. He’s just here for a check! Thinking minshew is the guy

[@winstonsyme5899]

The head coach is a gloried cheerleader

[@azsbwolf]

How many times we have too until we dont lol

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

RAIDER NATION STRONG

[@michaelmarshall8375]

With the weapons the Raiders have, either of the qb's should be successful. Any legitimate NFL level quarterback should be able to move the ball and score with those running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends.

[@meechryles7072]

preach💯

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

WE ARE GOING TO WIN

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

Q GREAT WORK AND YOU BRING ME MY RAIDER FIX

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

REAL TALK

[@TelvinKipapa]

We can only judge him when he actually plays in the regular season. I am optimistic too but, I trust AP. 🏴‍☠️

[@jeremy_logan]

No one is scared of this qb room. It feels like we're gonna be stuck at that 7-9 win range for years

[@CarlSaunders-uk7qo]

5-12

[@BigBrueser]

The worst part is we’re probably not gonna be in a good position to draft a QB next year either. This upcoming class is weak anyways, so most likely 2026? Or we sign Dak. Either way it sucks

[@mikecontreras6974]

He’s the man now…definitely experiences - above average at times

[@jamiecsala8449]

Minshew has never been given a chance after his rookie year with the jaguars where he threw 21 tds and and like 6 ints

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

EXACTLY 💯

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

JUST WIN BABY

[@larrymorgan7997]

Aiden can be a Joe Flacco style and Raiders pocket looks to be pretty clean. But if Miller is not healthy then you could put Joe Kapp back there and it won’t matter.

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

STACKED

[@azsbwolf]

Lets call a spade a spade sports is for our entertainment so lets just enjoy the entertainment go RAIDERS!!!!!

[@Shirley_-zn8kl]

THEY BETTER FIX THAT DEFENSE

[@Lawyer28-oh1te]

I have a feeling before the middle of the season AOC will be back at QB

[@Tunachaz62]

Carter Bradley is gonna be good.

[@My2CentsO66]

Just WIND Baby! ✅️💯🐑💨

[@BillsBigbreakssportscards-cj5e]

Nothing Radiers need a QB radiers always disappoint me

[@jamiecsala8449]

And minshews numbers are better than trevor Lawrence's with 10 less games played

[@BigBrueser]

Lawrence has a playoff win

[@robertgarcia217]

Is it going to rain just as many games as Aidan O'Connell he's just going to do it more frenetically and drive our blood pressure up while he's doing it😂

[@azsbwolf]

I hope Aiden gets atleast another chance he did well the games he did play.

[@leroythemaster4268]

He has 2 years on his contract. He will get plenty of chances. Very few QB's are healthy for 17 games

[@azsbwolf]

@@leroythemaster4268 facts

[@vegasranger]

Uncle Rico & the O line didnt do to well against the Cowboy backups

[@Robert-fs1pb]

We will see first 4 games.

[@mustafabinsober1248]

Sacks and interceptions

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

DONT WORRY ABOUT THE HORA TOKEN I'LL FIGURE IT OUT

[@lawrencetravisHI]

👍

[@5049usrluvtyx]

You just know Aaron Rodgers is looking at this roster salivating! High odds we bring in a starting quarterback by mid season unless grandpa Brady pushes his wheelchair in for the holidays. 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@tylermcnair4921]

Another rough year ahead most likely. If so we can draft a qb in first round for a change.

[@Tunachaz62]

There ain’t any good qbs in the first round next yr. I keep telling you all. And there won’t be in the following yr either. Raiders are stuck with what they have. If I were the raiders, if they’ve got a bad record by the bye week, I’d throw in carter Bradley, and see what the kid can do.

[@Tunachaz62]

Aiden is gonna be nothing but a back- up qb in his career. That’s all that minshew is also. Bad situation. Hopefully our d can keep us in most of the games. We have a great punter and field goal kicker. Those three things hopefully will keep us in most of the games, and we won’t get blown- out and embarrassed this yr. One can only hope.

[@BigBrueser]

@@Tunachaz62I wouldn’t be shocked if we go after Dak next year, if the cowboys don’t take him

[@joevitaleconstruction.704]

I think we are just tired of sucking. We talk about this great D..well it’s time to be great and STOP the run!… If Minshew is the man and it’s Minshew mania…great: he needs to win some games. I’m tired of hearing he has the “It factor” : just win! What I have seen so far: poor offensive line play, poor QB play, Poor RUN D, and poor RUN offense. We are in for a terrible year if they can’t fix all of that BEFORE the year starts. We didn’t get our QB…so run the ball and stop the run!!! This is getting old,every year!! Hang your hat on those two things and we will win! Otherwise is back to sucking.

[@leroythemaster4268]

Parham should be backing up JPJ at RG and Peat should be 1st String Left Guard. Parham sucks. Meridith looks better than Parham.

[@radaryoder6058]

In my opinion AOC is better and I guarantee Antonio got out ranked no way he's taking Gardener over AOC he didn't play any better

[@Shirley_-zn8kl]

BAD MOVE WITH THE RAIDERS QB STARTER, WE WILL SEE HOW BAD IT IS

[@VaaDaa2001]

He brings nothing. He brings 15 TD, 9 ints in 17 games. He brings 194 yards a game, 29th in the league. He was handed a job because AP lied. Pathetic

[@rockethead5705]

The Menshew haters are stupid. You really didn't think he would be able to beat out Aidan? You have no hope. Don't jump on the bandwagon when he's cooking

[@melissaclark-oj6kj]

BETWEEN YOU JT MADDEN LOL AND MITCH ALL THE POD CASTER

[@scgilley561]

what to expect lots of disappointments like he has done his entire career, 50 - 60 completion % and 33% win ave duh and AP being fired

Where were you last year? You need to get out of the bathroom more

[@larrymorgan7997]

The tryouts are going to be on all season. Don’t be signing up for your tribal wars just yet.

[@azsbwolf]

Nah Aiden played better for sure.

[@robertgarcia217]

Garner won seven games last year😂

[@SecondHSProductions]

Still don’t agree with the minshew choice 👎

[@Raiders555]

Davonte is history. No way this team wins more than 3 games. Need the draft pick from trading him to get that 1st overall pick.. Minshew is a gunslinger turnover machine. Ap never gave a competition for Aoc. It was already decided when Minshew signed in the off-season

[@larceowalters4717]

We will definitely win more 3 games. But these two quarterbacks are not our future. We will definitely draft a quarterback in the 2025 draft

[@CarlSaunders-uk7qo]

Don't be so negative, I got 5 wins

[@marcushoward6686]

Stupid 🙄 decisions again we had Bo Nix in Ny pass him watch in see crazy just to crazy no mobile type QB again this is basic play again

[@chirocket4791]

Mid

[@winstonsyme5899]

Raiders will lose one to the Chargers, Broncos and twice to the Chiefs. Also will lose to the Ravens, Browns, Bengals, Steelers, Rams, Dolphins, Bucs.

[@5049usrluvtyx]

Get out of here Raiders own chiefs we’re gonna surprise Baltimore too just win baby is the motto not Raiders will lose. 🏴‍☠️🏆🏆🏆🏴‍☠️

[@Dutchmaster707]

Hey Q you claim to be a lifelong Raider fan and you’re living your dream of working with the organization and im pretty sure the Raiders have gave you the biggest paydays of ur career or at the very least talking abour the Raiders did.. basically the Raiders have changed ur life and u claim to be a fan but still won’t yell out RAAAIIIIIDDDERRSSS that doesn’t sit right with me and alot of Raider fans, seems like u wont in fear u get fired by the Raiders and have to report on a new team but u claim to be independent so why would that be a issue?

[@sinoverlord409]

How about fck u? He doesn't have to risk anything for you or please you in anyway.

[@sinoverlord409]

How about screw u? He doesn't have to risk anything for you or please you in any way

[@joenobody5631]

Don't be this weird. Reign in your weirdness.

[@jamesjross]

I really dont care anymore. dunno why. I just feel with everything. the performance, the decisions. I feel like the wind has gone out the sails.
