The Las Vegas Raiders QBs might not be the most popular option among Raiders fans this upcoming season. However, neither were quarterbacks Jim Plunkett and Rich Gannon initially, before having success with the organization.
The quarterback position has been a hot topic of conversation for the Las Vegas Raiders for the last few seasons. Most Raiders fans have various and differing opinions on the team’s signal caller. The quarterback position is the most critical position on the field, leading to many hot takes on what the Raiders should do at the position.
Luckily for Minshew and O’Connell, the Raiders have had multiple past quarterbacks face a similar response from the fan base before succeeding with the team: Jim Plunkett and Rich Gannon. Plunkett and Gannon arrived at the Raiders with plenty of naysayers and nonbelievers, but they reached incredible heights with the team.
Gannon signed with the Raiders as a free agent in 1999 and was voted to the Pro Bowl each of his first four seasons with the team. He would win the NFL Most Valuable Player award in 2002 and guided the Raiders to a Super Bowl appearance that season. He would pass for over 12,000 yards while with the Raiders, undoubtedly surpassing the expectations when he first signed with the team.
