Minshew reportedly out for season with broken collarbone.

IIRC O'Connel is closer to being able to come off IR.
This was week 5 for AOC. Hurt on Oct 20. Recovery time for his thumb was 4-6 weeks. Guessing Ridder starts vs KC. Going to be ugly in a stand alone game for Davis.

Raiders, as they have for good parts of the season hold tough until Minschew and the offense turn the ball over. Basically even or ahead vs LAR, Pitt, Den til a pick or fumble, then the opposition took the lead and never relinquished it as from that point on, Raiders O didn't generate anything.

Yeah, same script in almost every game this season. 5 trips to the RZ with only 1 TD. Bad turnover at the worst time to throw the game away.

AOC can come off IR now. Neither he or Ridder are good enough so it doesn't matter who starts. Just the Raiders luck when they are finally bad enough for a super high draft pick there's no game changers available. Anyone know the tie breakers for the draft btw if there is such a thing? Reading an article yesterday and it said we would draft third as of now. The Jaguars have Lawrence locked up long term so as long as the Jags, Giants and Raiders have the top 3 picks the Giants and Raiders would have free shots at Sanders and Ward.

Giants are going to want a QB you'd think.

LOL sorry, didn't see you put Giants a second time at the end.

Jags could trade down from #1. Jags have 2 games vs Ten and 1 vs LV. So, they are playing some bad teams down the stretch.

Best chance for the Giants to win a game is vs Dallas on Thanksgiving. Raiders best shot is likely vs the Jags. Have KC, Chargers, TB, NO.

Yep, they couldn't have been bottom 3 last year with Daniels/Maye on the board. Or even low enough to just draft Penix/McCarthy? Raiders, again, will draft for need like they did with Ruggs and Arnette draft vs going with BPA which would have been Wirfs then can take a WR later with plenty on the board at the time and very possibly ruggs would have been too with only Lamb/Jeudy going off the board.

See if this team can actually draft and develop. Long time between when Raiders last gave a 1st round pick a long term contract. Last one was Kolton Miller. Tagged Jacobs and the rest all walked or were cut. Wilson, not looking like a guy that will get a big contract after his rookie deal.
