Raiders name Minshew starting QB

August 18, 2024

Raiders name starting QB … Earlier today, Las Vegas announced that veteran Gardner Minshew would be the starting QB when the Raiders open the regular season against on September 8th against the LA Chargers. Minshew got the nod over Aidan O’Connell, the 2nd year pro who started much of the 2023 campaign, although neither has been particularly impressive thru the pre-season to date. Minshew, for example, completed less than 50% of his passes in the Raiders two pre-season games this month. What it all likely means is that the Raiders will likely be one team that will be looking very hard at QBs at the 2025 draft.
