00:00The problem is he's banding aiding for what they don't have anything.

00:07He is the cut.

00:09He's not the band aid.

00:10He's going to be the reason why that team gets hurt.

00:12Like let's be real about the Raiders quarterback situation.

00:15It's not an answer.

00:16It's like we are kind of going to figure it out this year and then we'll probably draft

00:23You know, long term solve.

00:24No, neither is Aiden O'Connell.

00:27And they know that.

00:58So we got to play him because he's making too much money not to play him.

01:01In addition to that, this is why I think the quarterback market of what happens when the

01:06starters are announced is very important.

01:09It's very, very important because there's going to be some guys cut from the quarterback

01:14position, more younger guys that the Raiders should absolutely be interested in.
