The Las Vegas Raiders continue to be counted out going into the preseason.
Those outside of the Las Vegas Raiders' organization have not been optimisitc about the team's chances this season.
The Raiders come off a second consecutive year of missing the postseason and are still in the midst of finding their starting quarterback, with the 2024 regular season now just weeks away. Eric Edholm of NFL.com recently ranked all 32 NFL teams in his preseason power rankings. The Raiders ranked near the bottom of the pack, coming in at No. 25."I’m hedging here just a bit because the closer we are to the season, the more worried I am about the upside of the QB position. I think Aidan O'Connell will get every opportunity to be the team's Week 1 starter, and if he can’t get it done, Gardner Minshew will get his shot.
The concerns are fair. It's tough to gauge a whole lot, offensively, when there is no frontrunner at the quarterback position. As we continue to report, though, some of the mishaps from the quarterbacks in camp can simply be attributed to a very solid Raiders defense. The Raiders moved down two spots from Edholm's rankings from April. Those rankings came right after the NFL Draft.
