Johnny Football himself said he partied and didn't take things seriously enough (paraphrasing). That right there is the biggest difference between the 3. 2 take it serious, 1 didn'tAttyla wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 11:20 am:Minshew is exactly that. He has fun playing the game, he is mobile, he certainly does have energy, and does carry himself with some swagger. Are those traits that others have? Surely there are. Does that mean he is Manziel? Nope. Manziel was also self destructive, egotistical and did not take instruction well at all. Those traits Minshew does not have. That is why Manziel is doing second rate commercials and Minshew is going to compete for the starting job with the Raiders.

yep, and by the time he figured that out he was long out of the league and untouchable.Hellbound wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 2:59 pm:Johnny Football himself said he partied and didn't take things seriously enough (paraphrasing).

That was just for those saying he can't run. And if I'm not mistaken a sack is counted as negative rushing yards and and attempt. But I could be wrong about that oneGoodTimeCharlie wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 2:35 pm:What are you doing? You’re gonna turn the “Down With Running Quarterbacks” folk into pretzels.
Btw, if they showed all of AO’s running TDs…there’d be two clips, on account he ran for 2. He also had 95 rushing attempts for -274 yards. For his college career.
There’s Running QB’s, Mobile QB’s, Pocket Passers, and then there’s nailed to the turf QB’s.

yea, I think you are wrong on that one. But Aidan can run, it is not pretty but he had a few runs in college, one on a naked boot that went for chunk, again, not pretty but he did. But in this league, he is not running other than in deperation.vtraider wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 3:08 pm:That was just for those saying he can't run.

And if he can distribute the passes on time and to the right person I don't care if he never runsAttyla wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 3:14 pm:yea, I think you are wrong on that one.

he is not afraid in the pocket but his pocket awareness needs coaching up.RickRyb wrote Tue Apr 30, 2024 3:17 pm:He doesn't run much but he does seem to have decent movement in the pocket and he doesn't seem afraid to stand in and take a hit

One of O'Connell's fatal flaws last year was forcing the ball to Adams, when other guys were open. Someone (a coach, qb room, or Adams himself) was in his ear about it.Archaic » Tue Apr 30, 2024 5:22 pm
I heard that immediately following last season the Broncos tried hard to acquire Davis Mills. Time will tell if the Raiders would have done better signing Mills rather than Minshew.vtraider » Tue Apr 30, 2024 5:48 pm

Also, I am curious to know if the Raiders made an attempt to sign Dobbs.

I think Minshew should start like Garoppolo did last year because of the contract. If Minshew plays poorly put in O’Connell. Only way I start O’Connell week 1 is if he clearly outplayed Minshew in training camp and pre-season.AdamJoshua28 » Tue Apr 30, 2024 6:47 pm
Brady will end up starting at some point during the season.KillerRaider30 » Tue Apr 30, 2024 7:16 pm
