00:00and coach Antonio Pierce trying to figure out and evaluate who's going to

00:07get the starting nod in week number six will it be Minshew or will it be the

00:12second year pro out of Purdue Aiden O'Connell here were the stat lines Joe

00:18against Denver in Denver on Sunday Minshew 12 of 17 137 yards a touchdown

00:26in two interceptions in fact an interception that greatly changed the

00:31trajectory of this game and perhaps his career in Las Vegas and the season the

00:37Raiders were up 10 zip at the end of the opening quarter they were driving early

00:41in the second quarter deep in Denver Territory Carter makes you get picked

00:47off by Patrick Sertan the second who takes it back 100 yards for a pick six

00:54he ended up throwing another interception in the third quarter to

00:58find a seat on the bench all right come on Aiden O'Connell double-digit starts a

01:03year ago in his rookie season albeit an old rookie out of Purdue 10 of 20 for 94

01:10yards and an interception against a stingy Broncos defense whatever way you

01:18slice it Joe doesn't look overly optimistic for whatever quarterback

01:22decision he's made in Cincinnati yeah I you know all right congratulations you

01:27go I listen there was a reason why Devante Adams wanted out after agreeing

01:33to stay you know he that should have told you everything you need to know

01:38about the quarterback situation for the Raiders I mean he got paid he got his

01:43money and then he realized that you know Gardner Minshew being the starting

01:47quarterback leading him into you know three defenders every time he's got to

01:52catch the ball to get absolutely crushed is probably not a very good

01:56career extender not to mention that the O'Donnell the kid backing him up here is

02:02is just as bad so there this is gone from bad to worse I don't know who

02:07thought the Raiders were really gonna be competitive this year anyway but it just

02:13it's gone from bad to worse and it all starts with the organization deciding

02:17that Minshew or Donald we're gonna give you your best chance at winning games

02:21and neither are capable of anything other than being a backup and having to

02:26come in to start maybe a game or two at best in the season
