1. Antonio Pierce isn’t really in charge of the team. Another lost season before it’s started.

2. I think they were banking on getting Penix and my Falcons ruined it. They’ll probably draft Shedeur, Ewers, or a Q next year to fix this

3. It should've been Penix but the Falcons front office had to screw it up for the Raiders and Penix.

4. Now I am convinced that the Raider are playing for a draft QB in the 25 draft class. And better yet there is no way that Devonte sticks with the Raiders past the trade deadline. Nope!

5. Minshew didn’t earn anything this was a political decision from the front office. Orders came from Tom and company. AP, the team, and fans wanted Aiden O’Connell.

6. Wow first time I heard Sims not take a blanket shit on the raiders 😂

7. Which team was the last team to beat the Chiefs during their SB run?

8. Unfortunately, I don't think that we have a chance in hell to get anywhere with either Minshew or AOC. That being said, "With the first pick in the 2025 NFL draft, the Raiders select_______"

9. Three Wilson is a bust. Slow off the ball. His feet were stuck in the mud against Cowboys.

10. Horrible decision by a high school coach.
    Harbaugh ,another lost opportunity by Mark Davis.

11. Never mind, after the eventual devante trade I'm thinking Cowboys or jets, but we need players and picks so who knows who might be tradeable. Crosby will want out. I could see the lions taking a f them picks approach to pair him an already good d-line. Then we pick high. Enter Sanders 2025 just like all the pundits were saying. I was wrong. We won't be a 10 win team.

12. Minshew is the second coming of Kenny Stabler we hope.

13. Infectionous? Atta boy.

14. This was the right move Raider nation, AOC’s ceiling is to maybe be almost as good as Carr. We haven’t had a mobile QB since Pryor and with our O-line and in today’s league Minshew is the right guy, AOC is a complete statue and breaks down under pressure.

15. It’s clear these guys don’t have anyone inside the building that talks to them about camp lmfao. Defense he only mentions the pas rushers but not jack jones who was statistically one of the very best CB in the nfl once he became a Raider. Trevon Moehrig is a young ascending safety who’s very good in zone and a great tackler. Malcom Koonce made huge strides last season and now has another pass rusher in Wilkins to free him up. Zamirs per game stats and advanced analytics were much better then Josh Jacobs last year in starts lmfao. He started 13 less games and had ONE less explosive run than Jacobs on the season. They added a generational talent at TE with already a very good one in Mayer. Devante and Jakobi are both 1,000 yard wr and again if they knew anyone in camp they’d know tre tucker has a TON of potential.

16. Telesco made the call.

17. Neither should be starting. Our starter isn’t on the roster

18. First 4 games are: Chargers, Baltimore, Panthers, Browns. String chance they start out 1-3 this year…better to weather that storm with an experienced Vet

19. Representing for the PAC 12 ! Or the PAC 2 as we call it these days…..

20. Chargers is the first game not the chiefs

21. This guy isn't a starter period ..you sit and watch him struggle…bad season coming up…I'm uses to it already as a Raider fan..

22. MINSHEWMANIA!!!

23. The national media coverage of the Raiders is always funny to me. While I agree with the takes about the quarterback play, to say the Raiders roster isn’t ready to compete with a lot of teams in the AFC is ridiculous. Like the Raiders don’t have players like Bowers, Jakobi Meyers, Tae , Wilkins , Spillane , Maxx and Kolton miller. The talking heads are 🤡

24. To say O'Connell has a higher ceiling is like saying the Beatles were a decent band. Minshew looked awful. Occonel at least has potential for greatness. Hopefully lights a fire under AOC.
