Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce has said all offseason that Aidan O'Connell is the starting quarterback until the job is taken from him.
Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce has been high on quarterback Aidan O'Connell for some time now.
Former Raiders Pro Bowler Marcel Reece, who knows the Raiders culture as well as anyone, believes there's more to it than Pierce believing O'Connell is the man for the job. "Whereas Aidan O'Connell was put in a situation where he had to step up to the plate, start on a team as a rookie, and make plays for that team. And that's a hard thing to do. So, what Antonio Pierce is doing for that locker room is saying, 'Show me that you can make a play, show me that you're going to do what's necessary in the Silver and Black uniform, and I'm going to give you the opportunity to keep your spot and earn your spot.
