Being a 4th round qb he really outperformed not only other higher picked rookies but veteran ones as well. Hope he sticks with raiders and eventually blossoms into one of the greatest
if they build a decent offensive line in front of him, it will give him a chance to show what he can really do. Last year McDew gave him no chance at all, and then the newspapers closed in on him without ever giving him a fair chancel His performance in the preseason, his rookie year tells me that he has a lot of ability just waiting for the raiders to uncover it
Draft OL in the first round, defense in the 2nd, and QB competition in the 3rd. Aidan has earned 1 more evaluation year with a competent OC and improved OL.
I feel the same about Renfrow. he made one mistake (yea, it was big). The man has held up our offense more than once. If it's time for Renfrow to go, so be it, but I hate hearing fans call him a bum. We used to pray on third and Renfrow, plus there was that trick play he sniffed out and absolutely wrecked the guy.
Dude earned a shot to be the starting QB. He has a lot to get better at but he showed a ton of potential. Only started ten games but went 5-5 as a rookie with 2,218 yds passing, 12-7 td int ratio, and an 83.9 QB rating. Imagine what he can do with all this experience, a full offseason to prepare, and a more stable team that has its HC and an OC that knows what he’s doing?
Most of his int's were on McDaniels watch. Go figure. Plus that one poor impression of Brett Farve trying to get one off while getting sacked. Gotta luv the effort
The QBs in the 2024 draft went the way as fate has it. As far as I'm concerned, Raider Nation needs to support AOC with maximum Raider love. Let's continue to root for this guy's success. Afterall, his success is our success!
Aidan’s got all of the weapons around him as well as a revamped O line. If he still dosent play well then hopefully the defense will carry. As long as O’Connell can put up 20+ points they should be fine.
@@bigchungus1848 I am a firm believer at the success of a team depends greatly on the strength of the front seven on both sides of the ball. And one of the most important players on the team is the offensive left tackle.

I like Aiden a lot! For a rookie I think he had a great season. Inconsistent but that’s expected from a rookie. I’m expecting him to be even better next season
AOC is gonna be a good challenge for the next qb if the main one gets hurt next year He’s gonna be Great in the nfl people love talking bad on him when he has bad games but doesn’t get the credit when he’s does good TY AOC 🛡️⚔️
O'Connell's passes have a much better speed, spin, touch, accurate placement than what Minshew's highlights show. I think O'Connell might keep his spot as QB 1.
@@dorailcrayton3676facts💯 but to be fair his arm talent and skills as a passer wansnt really his issue it was that he doesn't really extend play's or move around in the pocket... if he can develop that or atleast learn to roll out away from pressure or throw on the run, he'll be an elite qb, we don't need a statue like carr in the backfield (all love to DC4).
Agreed. I think he will be better than Carr at his best. Higher IQ. Zero anxiety. Goes through progressions well. Everything Carr couldn’t do this guy can. Wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him throw 4500 yards and twenty plus tds this season.
AOC showed some growth in his decision making from game to game which is all we can ask from a developing rookie. We dont gotta worry about the arm at least lol
@@JanoyCresva he's already gained weight and muscle(arm strength) apparently to staff, my thing is i want to see him grow on extending play's (moving around the pocket,rolling out and etc.) we don't want another statue like older/recent dc4

As a unbiased Packers fan, I was pretty impressed by AOC. He had some bad games but he had some very good games and overall was pretty solid. I think he also showed some upside and I think they should go with him as the starter for next year. I actually really like seeing this Raider team with Pierce as the head coach and I think they could get 9-10 wins.

If this tape doesn't convince you why we weren't desperate to get a QB, you must not watch football. Accurate passer and definately a starting caliber QB. Under AP, finished the season with 8td's and zero INT's last 4 games. A full season and we might see that AOC can win the job long term.

I can’t believe all these “Raider” fans that hate on this kid or can’t see his potential. He’s was a 4th rd rookie, with McDummy as coach, then he had a rookie play caller after McDummy was fired. He made some incredible throws not just good in these highlights and guess what? He’s going to improve on that. Let’s give him a real chance!
@zayatorresrosales2065 over 2,000 pass yards in only half season. Stroud finished with over 4,000 passing yards its not rocket science that AOC would be rite n the mix with the top QBs and as for new age fan I was born a Raider and probably old enough to be your dad if not smash yo moms fosho
He would've been better than Stroud if he was given an off-season with the ones, the kid is accurate and processes quickly. He just needs to improve on pocket movement and escaping pressure we don't need a rpo QB 💯

I believe in this kid. He has flaws, for sure. But I like his mindset. He doesn’t quit and he doesn’t lose heart. You never see him frustrated or jawing at his teammates. And he improved as the season went on. In his last 4 games: 8 TDs, 0 INTs, 3-1 record.
AOC improved all year long....he was QB 3 at the start of the year, and showed how godd he could be. I really hope the team doesn't sell the farm for a new QB...build a team and let AOC develop in '24
I've said the same thing. It amazes me with the amount of hostility and disregard Raiders fans have shown AOC. He's obviously improved every game, yet you have fans on board to just demote or get rid of him for "the next big thing." And if I know my Raiders we've had a nasty habit selling the farm over "name" coaches and players not panning out. When will we ever learn? We should build on what we have let AOC develop!
You can say what you want about drafting a QB or trading for one. Aiden O'Connell has a jump start on whoever comes in. With about 10 games of NFL experience he has the edge, going into the off-season. because he is gonna get better. Right now its his Job, and if someone wants it, their gonna have to beat him out.
I support you Aidan! Give him time to continue developing , the kid is promising . I know as fans we want wins and we want a mobile QB (which I agree) but AOC showed promise and he can definitely throw the deep ball. Let him compete
I've liked what I first saw of AOC , in that 1st pre-season game against the " whiners and anytime after , especially after seeing the DEBACLE of " Jimmy G. and hoyer, I thought the whole " NATION was pulling for him !!! 13:40 13:40 13:40 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 13:40
As far as mechanics, he looks like Tom Brady. Let this play out and make him the starter for next year. He has potential with that arm to flourish in this league.
The pass to jakobi at 12:46 is the reason why AOC is better than alot of ppl give him credit for. Those are the types of passes he can make if he has tiime
Raider Revolution...Bo Hardegree you are being creative in play calls mixing it up...unpredictable using players in multi positions...I look forward to your continued progress and creativity...keep up the good work...
Growing up watching the Raiders starting 1970, you didn't see running QBs. That is a recent phenomenon. Maybe a quarter of the QBs can really run these days. A QB needs pocket presence for sure, and that can be developed. What AOC needs to do is develop the ability to move laterally to extend the play if the pocket breaks down. It's not like Brady was running around like a deer and he did alright.
He's a good quarterback. This was a rookie year with no preseason reps, and not being included in the initial game plan. And he was the second best rookie in 2023. He has a great deep ball/timing. With a better O-line he's going to be a force.
To Max Crosby....I understand how you feel...I value your loyalty to Gruden Josh and Dave...You have genuinely supported each head coach...You have control over what you do...no matter who else comes and goes the athletes who are doing the work must step up and take the lead...You have to make the commitment that you will step up and take the lead...you know defensive strategy...Elite players train physically to be the best...but they also have a clear understanding and game plan...Max you are a defensive player and coach...I know your kind...You are like Brady and others who had a plan for every attack...Elite athletes are very strategic...they don't strike the wind...You made a decision and commitment keep your word and promise to yourself and your word will be good to everyone else...You have been successful because YOU ARE A MAN OF YOUR WORD...that is powerful...a man who always keeps his word is worth money...he is wise he calculates and he makes his word and promise good...Don't allow anyone to stop you from doing what you say you will do...Mark Davis values your word so much he proved how much he values your word...once you break your promise you will keep breaking your promise your word will have no value...Your word is worth 94 million to Mark Davis value his word as he values ypur word...Max value your word keep your promises to your family wife and children friends and team mates...never lose value for your word...daily keep your word in all things...the Raider team will value you for your good example...become what you want them to become...Halfhearted people liars they have no value their word has no value their promise has no value their contract has no value...You can only control how you perform if you cannot perform you have no control...
Bring in some competition, but give AOC,a full season. He was building last year,he first show out of nowhere. He earned a full season at number 1,it doesn't cost anything, its a win win.
He had an okay rookie season. He showed a TON of potential with his accuracy and arm strength as well as intelligence. Biggest problem was when he went against better defenses, he did not play well. He needs to learn to go through his reads. There were so many times where he was so tunnel visioned on who he wanted to go to and never went through his reads quick enough. He forced it a little too much and basically was like “if you dont get it, no one else will”. In college, he had to do that cuz Purdue had no WRs outside of Charlie Jones, but in the NFL, trust all your weapons, just cuz your first read isnt there, look through the rest, they are good enough to get open
I liked the kid he showed he has no quit and will line it up and yeah he had some bad plays but the kid did pretty good for rookie that not many knew about him including me. I get it that I've never liked statue qb's but if u can move the ball and make good plays then all good. But respect from this Raider Fan. I hope we keep him cause he does have good qb knowledge just let him grow. Seems like many Raider fans want a fast and mobile qb and I know why it's obvious but to drill the kid for being thrown out like that and he took it in the chin like a champ. Just my opinion I know we all have one.
I'm not sold on the "mobile QB" thing. It's a trade off. If you have an offensive line that can protect, then the QB has more time to survey the field for an open receiver.
@@Navigator001 Depends. If you're talking Mahomes or Rodgers-like mobility then you'd take it. If you're talking Lamar or Fields it starts to get dicey.
Number 4 is just bad luck too, number 10 or 12 would be sick. 10 cuz the 0 would represent the O in his name, 12 has history with Ken stabler and rich gannon.
si tan solo O´Connell trabajara más en sus piernas, ganar un poco de peso en musculo y estudiar roll out ssria sin dudas un qb elite, espero puedan verlo y mejorar el año proximo donde tenga un playbook que aprovecha sus cualidades... de verdad espero eso.
GMs rated AOC better than some of the QBs gotten in the first round in this year's draft. People wanted the Riaders to burn a pick so they could FEEL GOOD. Nope. If there wasn't an upgrade or potential upgrade at the position, pass on it. I have no problem passing on QBs once the game changers were off the table. Wish AOC all the best. Loved his ball placement.
Raider Revolution...Aiden you need to keep throwing the ball regularly in off season...throw comfortable watch your body become stronger...enjoy good aerobic weight training...Full range arm rotations with 2 to 5 ponds for warm up do sets of 100 it is a swimmers motion...full range arm rotations will affect pullups and pushups...strengthens all ligaments tendons muscle in arm and shoulder...do light weight burn out watch how your throwing arm develops...pullups strengthen throwing arm...Arm Rotations are number one for all arm exercises...
O'connel played better than all the rookie qbs outside of stroud,thats pretty good considering he was in too early and didn't even play a whole season.
Thank you O’Connell! Not many men could be thrust into the fire like this young man.
True he at least gave us a shot! Many qbs would’ve folded

Keep our Coaches and keep our team 🏴☠️
I support you Aidan! Give him time to continue developing , the kid is promising . I know as fans we want wins and we want a mobile QB (which I agree) but AOC showed promise and he can definitely throw the deep ball. Let him compete
I've liked what I first saw of AOC , in that 1st pre-season game against the " whiners
and anytime after , especially after seeing the DEBACLE of " Jimmy G. and hoyer, I thought the whole " NATION was pulling for him !!! 13:40 13:40 13:40
🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 13:40
He has the same mechanics as brady & same body type. Its pretty cool to watch.
As far as mechanics, he looks like Tom Brady. Let this play out and make him the starter for next year. He has potential with that arm to flourish in this league.
I'm saying. Which is why raiders took him. He's intriguing for sure.
I do not understand the hate that O'Connell gets. He has HUGE upside!
That hunter renfrow catch against dolphins was so dirty 😂
13:26 k miller with an awesome play ripping the edge back down from jumping
The pass to jakobi at 12:46 is the reason why AOC is better than alot of ppl give him credit for. Those are the types of passes he can make if he has tiime
Raider Revolution...Bo Hardegree you are being creative in play calls mixing it up...unpredictable using players in multi positions...I look forward to your continued progress and creativity...keep up the good work...
Growing up watching the Raiders starting 1970, you didn't see running QBs. That is a recent phenomenon. Maybe a quarter of the QBs can really run these days. A QB needs pocket presence for sure, and that can be developed. What AOC needs to do is develop the ability to move laterally to extend the play if the pocket breaks down. It's not like Brady was running around like a deer and he did alright.
He's a good quarterback. This was a rookie year with no preseason reps, and not being included in the initial game plan. And he was the second best rookie in 2023. He has a great deep ball/timing. With a better O-line he's going to be a force.
I’m not going to be surprised if AOC beats out who ever the Raiders draft or get in free agency. There’s no quit in him and will give it 100%.
To Max Crosby....I understand how you feel...I value your loyalty to Gruden Josh and Dave...You have genuinely supported each head coach...You have control over what you do...no matter who else comes and goes the athletes who are doing the work must step up and take the lead...You have to make the commitment that you will step up and take the lead...you know defensive strategy...Elite players train physically to be the best...but they also have a clear understanding and game plan...Max you are a defensive player and coach...I know your kind...You are like Brady and others who had a plan for every attack...Elite athletes are very strategic...they don't strike the wind...You made a decision and commitment keep your word and promise to yourself and your word will be good to everyone else...You have been successful because YOU ARE A MAN OF YOUR WORD...that is powerful...a man who always keeps his word is worth money...he is wise he calculates and he makes his word and promise good...Don't allow anyone to stop you from doing what you say you will do...Mark Davis values your word so much he proved how much he values your word...once you break your promise you will keep breaking your promise your word will have no value...Your word is worth 94 million to Mark Davis value his word as he values ypur word...Max value your word keep your promises to your family wife and children friends and team mates...never lose value for your word...daily keep your word in all things...the Raider team will value you for your good example...become what you want them to become...Halfhearted people liars they have no value their word has no value their promise has no value their contract has no value...You can only control how you perform if you cannot perform you have no control...
The play at 3:10 is a big boy throw.
Love this kid! Thrown into the fire and stepped it up👍 Go Raiders!!!!!!!+
He's our guy and I'm cool with that
Bring in some competition, but give AOC,a full season. He was building last year,he first show out of nowhere. He earned a full season at number 1,it doesn't cost anything, its a win win.
this is so much better than what I have seen so far this season
AOC has a great shot at winning a starting job against Minshew and whoever we draft. He could very well be our QB1.
He had an okay rookie season. He showed a TON of potential with his accuracy and arm strength as well as intelligence. Biggest problem was when he went against better defenses, he did not play well. He needs to learn to go through his reads. There were so many times where he was so tunnel visioned on who he wanted to go to and never went through his reads quick enough. He forced it a little too much and basically was like “if you dont get it, no one else will”. In college, he had to do that cuz Purdue had no WRs outside of Charlie Jones, but in the NFL, trust all your weapons, just cuz your first read isnt there, look through the rest, they are good enough to get open
Pretty Good Rook! Keep it up! RAIDERSSSSS ☠️ 🏴☠️
Man what if building around him is the right move??
I want A.O.C & A.P. and Keĺly to stay!!! Raider Nation for life❤
I think aiden is our guy he has all the right things to b developed into a solid qb1!! RN4L
Yr 2 AOC about to shock alot of ppl ☠️ 🏴☠️
The Chat Sporters have already written AOC off. So much hate for this young man.
O’Connell reminds me quite a bit of Raider’s Super Bowl winning ~~
JIM PLUNKETT. He makes things happen. JUST W I N🏆🏆🏆🏆
He throws such a pretty and in stride catchable ball. I would take him over any of the QBs in this draft!!!
I liked the kid he showed he has no quit and will line it up and yeah he had some bad plays but the kid did pretty good for rookie that not many knew about him including me. I get it that I've never liked statue qb's but if u can move the ball and make good plays then all good. But respect from this Raider Fan. I hope we keep him cause he does have good qb knowledge just let him grow. Seems like many Raider fans want a fast and mobile qb and I know why it's obvious but to drill the kid for being thrown out like that and he took it in the chin like a champ. Just my opinion I know we all have one.
If he started week 1 we woulda made the playoffs
If McDaniels was gone and AP had the reins week 1 we woulda been so much better off
10-7 or 11-6
Gracias a O'connell me volvi fan nuevamente de este juego 🕵️♂️
It's tough. Part of me thinks we could do better. But how could you not like this kid?
he needs to be a bit more mobile i think
@@DarkLizard- Agreed
I'm not sold on the "mobile QB" thing. It's a trade off. If you have an offensive line that can protect, then the QB has more time to survey the field for an open receiver.
@@Navigator001 Depends. If you're talking Mahomes or Rodgers-like mobility then you'd take it. If you're talking Lamar or Fields it starts to get dicey.
O'Connell needs his own number to feel more confident. Retired #4 please
Number 4 is just bad luck too, number 10 or 12 would be sick. 10 cuz the 0 would represent the O in his name, 12 has history with Ken stabler and rich gannon.
AOC is good he has a lot to prove this season!
That’s my QB
O'Connell QB 1
si tan solo O´Connell trabajara más en sus piernas, ganar un poco de peso en musculo y estudiar roll out ssria sin dudas un qb elite, espero puedan verlo y mejorar el año proximo donde tenga un playbook que aprovecha sus cualidades... de verdad espero eso.
ASALTANTES 🏴☠️☠️🏴☠️☠️🏴☠️☠️
GMs rated AOC better than some of the QBs gotten in the first round in this year's draft. People wanted the Riaders to burn a pick so they could FEEL GOOD. Nope. If there wasn't an upgrade or potential upgrade at the position, pass on it.
I have no problem passing on QBs once the game changers were off the table.
Wish AOC all the best. Loved his ball placement.
What's the source on this one? This sounds like a "I swear I heard this" kinda fact
Raider Revolution...Aiden you need to keep throwing the ball regularly in off season...throw comfortable watch your body become stronger...enjoy good aerobic weight training...Full range arm rotations with 2 to 5 ponds for warm up do sets of 100 it is a swimmers motion...full range arm rotations will affect pullups and pushups...strengthens all ligaments tendons muscle in arm and shoulder...do light weight burn out watch how your throwing arm develops...pullups strengthen throwing arm...Arm Rotations are number one for all arm exercises...
Love ya kid! Did great given the circumstances
AOC had swag and confidence! Not sure he’s ready rn but in two years I think he can tear it up!
At his pace he will tear it up next season 💯
Good job AO I was rallying for you to replace garapalo because I knew you could air it out and thy you did !
O'connel played better than all the rookie qbs outside of stroud,thats pretty good considering he was in too early and didn't even play a whole season.
