Aidan O'Connell - Loses out on starting jobRaiders coach Antonio Pierce announced Sunday that Gardner Minshew will be the team's starting quarterback over O'Connell to begin the 2024 season, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com repor...
ImpactPierce added during Sunday morning's press conference that experience was ultimately the deciding factor, stating that the team "feels like [Minshew] gives us the best opportunity to get off to a fast start," according to Tashan Reed and Vic Tafur of The Athletic. O'Connell has more experience with the Raiders, starting 10 games with a 5-5 record and a 12:7 TD:INT ratio during his 2023 rookie season. But, that falls short of the 37 career starts for Minshew, who was also named to his first career Pro Bowl with the Colts last year. It was cearly still a tight race for the job this preseason. O'Connell performed relatively well while coming in off the bench in the first two exhibitions, completing 21 of 29 combined passing attempts for 176 yards and one touchdown an one interception. It's also not out of the question that O'Connell could still have a chance to start this season if Minshew and the Raiders' offense strulgge throughout the campaign. Therefore, it will be worth monitoring how the team perfoms in the regular-season opener versus the Chargers on Sept. 8.

Gardner Minshew II - Wins starting QB competitionRaiders coach Antonio Pierce said Sunday that Minshew will be the team's starting quarterback to open the 2024 regular season, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
ImpactPierce also said that Minshew's experience was the deciding factor when awarding him the starting job over second-year signal-caller Aidan O'Connell, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic. The six-year veteran has started 37 of his 49 career games between the Jaguars, Eagles and Colts compared to 10 starts with a 5-5 record for O'Connell during his rookie season in Las Vegas. Minshew was also named to his first career Pro Bowl with Indianapolis last year, tossing 15 touchdowns to nine interceptions and 3,305 yards across 17 games. His career TD:INT ratio of 59 to 24 likely weighted heavily in the coaching staff's decision as well. It's still unlikely that he figures into the team's long-term plans at quarterback. But, Minshew will now lead an offense lacking in proven receiving weapons other than star wideout Davante Adams (undisclosed), as Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker should round out the starting wideouts while tight ends Brock Bowers (foot) and Michael Mayer are likely to be featured as well. The Raiders will open the season on the road Sept. 8 versus the Chargers.
