The Las Vegas Raiders were a mess at quarterback in 2024. Hindsight is always 20/20, but it seems like most of Raider Nation knew in their hearts that a tandem of Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell was not going to get the job done in the AFC West. After a brutal preseason quarterback battle, Minshew took the reins for the team but was benched after Week 5. An injury to O’Connell saw Minshew return to the lineup mid-year, but he suffered a season-ending injury in Week 12, which handed the keys back to O’Connell.
