The Las Vegas Raiders' quarterback battle between Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew is over as head coach Antonio Pierce has announced his decision.
The Las Vegas Raiders' quarterback battle is over, for now. The starting quarterback for the Silver and Black will be Gardner Minshew II. Our Hondo Carpenter Sr. reported the decision from Coach Antonio Pierce, General Manager Tom Telesco, and Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Minshew was signed this offseason to compete with Aidan O'Connell for the starting job. The battle was a stalemate for most of the summer throughout OTAs and minicamp and most of fall camp. Both quarterbacks had good performances on Thursday's practice. In last night's contest, against the Dallas Cowboys, Minshew started and played five drives for the majority of the first half. Minshew's performance was not as sure-handed as the previous week, and he made some bad throws, including one that should have been intercepted. His pocket management seemed off and when Minshew tried to extend plays, he had key errors. Minshew went 10 of 21 for 95 yards and a quarterback rating of 60.6.
