Practically every team in the NFL has a mobile QB that can aviod pass rush and extend plays. How in the world is AOC a good scout QB?Ivanavich wrote Mon Dec 25, 2023 9:20 pm:
O' Connell was a mistake draft pick. Mc D never intended for him to be a starter. He was the newly designated scout QB in practice. They say he is good at that. Back to 3rd string in 2024 is where I see him ending up.

Running the scout team plays is more of an intelligence thing than an athletic thing. O' Connell does what he is supposed to do. Many of the running QBs can't run the scout team because they don't understand the plays - they just throw hard and outrun the defenses.Raider_Dave wrote Mon Dec 25, 2023 11:28 pm:Practically every team in the NFL has a mobile QB that can aviod pass rush and extend plays.

...i honestly think that a huge factor, and one which more explains the range of up and down performances, is having a kid OC, trying to do what he can, later in the year, with McD's playbook, in addition to O'C's limited experience, and they really did miss Meyer today in the passing game. The good DC's have often been able to take full advantage of those factors. ....some of the drops today could have made a difference, though when seeing the view from behind O'C, i didn't see a whole lot of good options in the time he had, ....and eating it was the better option, than forcing it and turning it over....ALLRAIDERWORLD21 wrote Mon Dec 25, 2023 4:46 pm:Exactly, it's what AOC didn't do that was most important today. He didn't turn the ball over and give the Queefs any momentum to get back in the game and take the lead.

Raiders beat their most hated rivals knocking them out of any chance for #1 spot in the playoffs. This coming off a game where they put up a record 63 points against another divisional opponent. The Raiders still have two more games and surprisingly are still in the playoff hunt. And yet, the focus for some is in April and the draft and what the team needs to do in the offseason. You know, that event where if anyone has paid attention in the past, nothing and I mean nothing is guaranteed.Dark Horse » Tue Dec 26, 2023 6:53 am
Why the f☆ck did he trade up for him?Ivanavich wrote Mon Dec 25, 2023 9:20 pm:6 years in college.
And the BEST thing that we can say about O' Connell is that he rode along with the offense to 6 points and didn't turn the ball over.
O' Connell was a mistake draft pick. Mc D never intended for him to be a starter. He was the newly designated scout QB in practice. They say he is good at that. Back to 3rd string in 2024 is where I see him ending up.
But for 2 more games he is a Raider QB, so...
GO RAIDERS!
And... notice how the story changes.
If Carr had played in this game with the exact same starters, then the offense would be "stacked."
If Garoppolo had played in this game... "stacked" offense around him.
O' Connell played and it's not a "stacked" offense - nope, now the o-line sucks, the greatest HB in the NFL was out, the great rookie TE was out, Adams is old and sucked... blah, blah, blah.
If you take this same offensive line-up and put a 2024 1st round QB as starter, then it would still suck, but it would be the Offensive Coordinator's fault for bad play calling.
PS- did you see any starters going 'oh, woe is us. no Jacobs. we are doomed'??? Nope.
For those at home keeping score: 7 Raiders wins - 5 with Jacobs, 2 without Jacobs (no losses without Jacobs playing).
