I dont think there was any chance anyway as none of them want to trade out.Hawkeyes wrote Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:18 pm:I don’t think this means we are not drafting a QB. But it does mean we are not going to trade up for one.
Are we going to have 3 QBs again next year, or is one of AOC/Minshew/Rookie getting cut?
Sir Raider Duck, OMS » Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:21 pm
I think this signing is more in case the QBs we want all go early. You can go into a season with Minshew as your QB and feel...well, not good, but not terrible either.chucker wrote Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:14 pm:I preferred Fields over Minshew if the trade compensation was right, but meh. Neither guy is enough for me to want to forego QB in the draft anyway.
Marzan » Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:25 pm
I think so too. This is insurance if there's a run at QB's. Minshew and AOC is not the stuff dynasties are made off, but is sure better than some 3rd round project.Sir Raider Duck, OMS wrote Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:21 pm:I think this signing is more in case the QBs we want all go early.

Do not love. I like how gritty Minshew plays, but seems like an expensive bandaid / bridge. Panic wrestling because the options were getting short and the move to 3 (or higher) looking slimmer.Hellbound » Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:30 pm
Yeah IMO Minshew is basically Fitzmagic.

So what were your better options out there? We will sit at 13 & see who drops.Hellbound wrote Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:30 pm:Yeah IMO Minshew is basically Fitzmagic. Someone you can start, but don't necessarily want to

I'm so glad. I was angry seeing tweets today that the Raiders were trading for Fields. So glad that didn't happen. Do I think hes a championship caliber QB no, but wasting a draft pick on Fields IMO was a lot worse....AndrewDean » Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:45 pm
We aren’t going to get a quality round 1 QB by the time we are up.Fade2SilverAndBlack wrote Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:44 pm:I'm so glad.

Now go draft a round 1 QB....
All in all a good day so far FA wise....

Not sure why you guys are celebrating when our starting qb next year is either minshew or O'Connelltatalalicious » Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:47 pm
Yep, purgatory is what it'll look like if the Raiders aren't able to move up into the draft and/or land someone like a Pennix. There is no real future in the NFL without a franchise qb and this team has been missing one since the Gannon days. Still hoping AP and the gm pull something off before the draft.DrDUne wrote Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:30 pm:Do not love. I like how gritty Minshew plays, but seems like an expensive bandaid / bridge.

I hate being in QB purgatory.

Or whoever we draft, whether we stay put or trade up.AngryRaidersFan wrote Mon Mar 11, 2024 2:46 pm:Not sure why you guys are celebrating when our starting qb next year is either minshew or O'Connell

Gardener Gannon? Eh if he's a back up swell, if they plan on him starting I'll start looking who the QBs in the 2025 draft are. Don't mean to be negative, have to wait and see what they do in the draft.
