Both Pittsburgh and Las Vegas were badly in need of a QB upgrade. So why was Pittsburgh able to get both Wilson and Fields and the Raiders couldn’t get either of them or anyone.
Surely , they could’ve outbid Pittsburgh for Fields who bought him for nothing essentially. He is better than what they have now, and who knows he might even turn out to live up to his potential, although that would be a surprise. |

We have no QB.
AP promised no bandaids. He lied.

Wilson is better, maybe. Not a guy I'd want to bet on though.

I agree that bringing in Fields would not be any guarantee of better performance and would be essentially throwing a third dart. But why not when that dart is basically free.
That’s what Pittsburgh did and it was a very good decision. No downside. And possibly some upside. |

I'd say if we wanted Fields, he would have been ours. I'm guessing Getsy was thrilled to be away from Fields.

Uhoh
1. The quarterback situation is concerning Both Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew struggled during OTAs. They split snaps with the first string fairly evenly, but neither found much success during the practices that were open to reporters. The quarterbacks (and the rest of the offense) are still in the early stages of getting comfortable in coordinator Luke Getsy’s offense. Understandably, there have been some growing pains, but it’s still troubling that neither O’Connell nor Minshew displayed much progress results-wise by the end of OTAs. Both quarterbacks struggled to push the ball downfield, had too many off-target throws and frequently put the ball in harm’s way. The Raiders will need better than that to avoid the offense being a liability yet again. The good news is there’s still plenty of time for O’Connell and Minshew to get better in training camp before the season arrives. “I told our guys, ‘Don’t get frustrated, just trust the process,’” Pierce said. “I think you’ll see growth as we go through training camp.” |

You promised no bandaids. This is what you get. But they both have great mustaches.

Raiders/Raiders fans are going to hang their hats on that XMas win over the Chiefs for 5 years. It will be the high point of so many careers, which is simultaneously funny and depressing all at the same time. Raiders, Broncos, and Chargers will be gifted pre-season titles by the on-air prognosticators but they will never ever come to pass. Maxx Crosby can force any head coaching hires he wants — the guy will never win anything with the Raiders.
