The Las Vegas Raiders have seen all they should see of their quarterback competitors.
Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce introduced on Sunday that Gardner Minshew will begin for the group in Week 1. The veteran beat out second-year quarterback Aidan O’Connell.
Neither Minshew nor O’Connell performed significantly nicely in Saturday night time’s preseason recreation towards the Dallas Cowboys. O’Connell began and completed 14-of-20 for 96 yards and a landing, however he additionally threw an interception that was returned for a landing. Minshew went 10-of-21 for 95 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
Pierce made a blunt remark in regards to the quarterback competitors after the sport, saying he “want it ended nicely for each gents, but it surely simply didn’t.”
