The whole team had to deal with that too yet they came and performed including rookies like Tre and Mayers. Wilson was a disappointment
What 2nd yr player is worse? He still isn’t more than average AT BEST qb talent and Raiders deserve better than that after 9 long years of excuses for DC. Let’s not go thru that again AP said it himself before the draft that worst case scenario we have to go with what we have but best case was getting a qb in the draft. Well we’re in the worst case scenario and have to roll the dice, thanks TT for that.
AOC is nothing but a sorry lazy ass bum and a total bust. He failed to deliver a super bowl championship to the Silver and Black as the Raiders QB last season just like Derek Carr had failed to deliver a super bowl championship to the Silver and Black the previous 9 seasons. The Raiders need to a hurry up and draft a real NFL QB who is a total gunslinger who has a cannon for an arm. The Raiders need a real NFL QB who is throw the damn football for at least 20 yards per attempt, throw for at least 400 passing yards per game while scoring at least 4 to 5 TDs per game. I'm so sick and tired of this losing mentality and mediocre bs. It's obvious that AOC just like Derek Carr, Gardner Minshew and Jimmy G doesn't know how to play professional NFL football as the Raiders QB so get this damn bum outta here!

Everybody wants a lamar,but most of the QB's that have won SBS have been like AO,all these qbs had there head on a swizival, move to the left or right,scramble alittle so they don't get sacked.He is going to be just fine !
Did you see the 6 sacks he took from Khalil Mack? Did you see the game where he didn’t complete a pass for 3 consecutive quarters? Did you see the late and high throws?

I have supported him form day one, I am sooo ready to see him play this season, I am so frustrated that the very few expect good results when the tape shows the opposite. You hit it on the head a lot of starting QB's do not throw with anticipation, he does, and Derek Carr could not very well. He takes care of the football and had a excellent career QB rating at Purdue of 145 for four years with average WR's. My comp started out very non-analytically, he looks like Kurt Warner facially, right, then he is the about the same height and mobility. Kurt had about 10 percent more velocity on the ball.

I'm with you, I think the film shows a few things to work on like consistent footwork, but since when can you expect perfection from a rookie? Especially one who got no first team reps until November. QBR (Quarterback Ranking) has a maximum of 100. Passer Rating has a max of 158.3 - I think that's the one you were talking about. AOC has shown development, accuracy, determination, (physical and mental) toughness and intelligence. He has a ton of potential.
I expect Aiden to show major growth. Much of it is down to getting 1st team reps, a system designed to take advantage of his strengths, elite talent around him. Add in the intangibles: self-belief, trust of the coaches and players, the experience of actually playing against NFL defenses. With his skill-set, hard work and intelligence....he could be elite
@@6916dog he had 1st team reps he was the starter. They cut the playbook down what else do you want them to do?

@@decalphotos2295he had first team reps for half the season, with a brand new play caller who had never done it and didn't earn his way into keeping that job. I think they meant having first team reps all off-season. NFL defenses did not shut him down. His last 6 games he threw 9 TDs to 1 INT. He had 4 games over 100, as high as 120, and a game of 96. The Chiefs had one of the best defenses in the league last year, and the Raiders jumped out to an early lead so they were mostly running the ball for the last 3 quarters. Kolton Miller didn't play in that game - and AOC torched the Chiefs in their other matchup. Khalil Mack was not double teamed that whole game because Josh McDaniels was trying to sabotage AOC so he wouldn't have to play him anymore. Under Pierce he lit the Chargers up for like 4 or 5 TDs.

For a player to improve that quickly in the second half of his rookie year with a new coordinator speaks volumes. The only rookie QB that outplayed him was CJ Stroud. Imagine AOC with a real coordinator and a whole off-season as the #1 guy.
@@isaiahayers1550those guys drafted ahead of him were drafted there bc of their talent. If ao showed that talent in college he would love been a highly regarded qb but wasn’t. Not saying he can’t stick in the nfl, just don’t see him as anything more than average at best. 6 sacks in 1 game!? No completions in 3 consecutive qtr of the same game!? He had snaps in camp last yr too bc he played in every preseason game. The entire offense was in the same situation as ao and they still played at their same level as did ao, which is average.
Really hope AOC balls out this year. Thrown into a tough situation last year and stood up, took the hits, ignores the negativity and very down to earth. Lotsof people setting the bar at Mahones level, which is ridiculous. Look at the QB positions around the league, Watson and Laurance getting huge money for "potential", Fields, Z Wilson, Jones considered busts, people talking about getting rid of Dak, replacing him with who??. Purdy still trying to get respect outside of San Fran. People need to step back a bit and let players and teams develop. They go on about us missing on a QB in the draft, no guarantee that any of the top 6 guys this year will become superstars. Raider Nation needs to get fully behind whoever wears the Silver and Black for 2024 and trust in the management and players. Rant over😊.
@@darcyoconnell41 the whole team was in a tough situation not just ao. Ao wasn’t brought in to be a starter and he did ok but to expect him to be anything other than ok is ridiculous. He’s not a mustang he’s a pinto
I think too many fans & sports writers confuse flashy QB stats & fantasy football with real world NFL play. Aiden will be fine, not flashy but a real lunchpail hard working guy that knows how to play the game. Like Plunket or Gannon
@@petervelousis and people made excuse for DC for 9’years. Let’s not make the same mistake again with another mid level at best qb we don’t need to wait 9 years with continued losing records to know he’s not the top tier mobile and athletic qb we need to compete week in/out in this new era of nfl
Aiden’s going to be a household name before to long. This kid may not look like much but he can flat out ball. Now that he’s in the NFL he’s only going to get better. Last year was a sample size of his skill set the last four games as he got better with every game.. Everyone already knows what they have in Minshew. Now it’s time to see what we have in Aiden.
great vid man, it’s about time someone did a AOC Hype vid. Thank you so much. i’m gonna use this vid as fuel to the fire under all the yt Raiders suck ass podcasters that talked shite about him all the way until AP said it. What he did last season was damn near heroic. Greatness is this guys DNA. With all he’s overcome i just hope his greatness is with the Raiders. Let’s Go!
I like the kid. I hope he can become a solid NFL starter. If he keeps improving like he did last season, I feel like he might be able to be really good.
AOC is indeed the real deal! However, I think its fair to at least note that defenses THIS year will be better prepared for him than they were last year. Sophomore jinx is well established in NFL, especially for QBs. So, I think another show might try to work through how certain qbs have avoided the s-jinx and others have fallen victim--and then re-analyze how AOC will proceed in 2024.
@@mattm5365 he was in a much better position than most other QBs too especially B Young with the lack of talent he has in Carolina. Yet with less talent BY never went 3 quarters wo completing a pass
He seems like he’s destined to be a starter in the nfl, maybe even win a bowl. No matter where he goes, there becomes injuries or they are thin at qb. He’s gotten lucky, it must be for a reason.
Absolutely AOC will win the starting job. I think Gardner is better but AOC is a competitor. As for his stats I think it will be similar to last season if not a bit better. We’re gonna need magic to do something good this year but it’s possible
All of his stats last year came against staggering teams, lets not forget the shutout against the vikings, and not throwing a single completion for 3 quarters against KC. A game manager at best, not even close to being a gunslinger. Dude legit tied Jamarcus Russell's consecutive incompletion record. Worst QB weve had since Russell.
How could he be “8th on the depth chart?” When most NFL teams generally only have 2 QB’s on the roster, with another QB on the practice squad…Am I missing something?
I’m more hopeful about AOC than most. Reason why is he has a strong arm that is accurate. Noodle arm QBs with no zip or accuracy you can’t fix. That’s not Aiden. He also has great work ethic from what I’ve heard and seen. Also a humble guy. His only struggles last season was quick decision making in the pocket. He would sometimes freeze or get on the move too late. His last 4 games in particular but overall he was solid for the 8 games he played. He did fail to score in a game and that was scary. I’m excited to see him in year 2. I’m going to be cautiously optimistic though and predict 3800 yards with 23 TDs and 12 INTs.
Crown him? I don’t know anyone that’s doing that. I feel like I’m his biggest supporter and I’m expecting to throw a few more than 20TDs. Crown him is way down the line. We just want competency right now. With these weapons he should make huge improvements this season.
Exactly what I told my son. He barely remembers Plunkett, but he's so pumped about AO12 that he bought us tickets to the opener in SOFI. Can't wait for Sept 8th.
@randlowe9240 Maybe you can find one of the Monday night match ups of Raiders vs. Chargers. We always had those games between Plunkett and Fouts circled on the calendar.
If by that you mean a pocket QB, 💯 %. He needs to improve his awareness and get better at decision making. He has the arm and decent aim to be a starter.
@@frankhernandez6883 lots of people wish for things but that doesn’t win games or more importantly playoff games. I wish I was 6’2”. AP wished for a qb in this years draft. Neither wish happened so don’t hold your breath on ao
Day one of him taking a snap with the Raiders I have believed in him and think he will only get better. Love the breakdown in this video and agree…he is a sleeper!
@@JunnyB124 no he was the qb in the KC game the defense won for us. He didn’t complete a pass for 3 quarters in that game. Thats not leadership in my book. Nor is that him leading us to a win.
Defensive ends are too big and fast nowadays too just sit in the pocket. If Aiden can develop an elusive aspect to his game and extend plays with his legs, he will be fine. We shall see.
@@Ltr87topthe raiders aren’t tanking this season so that means picking up a top 10 pick qb is out of discussion. The raiders are in win now mode hence the signing of Christian Wilkins and people working the fu ck out in the gym putting in work. The raiders if anything could land a second round qb this draft
I'm pulling for him but based on what I saw latest year, , dude has GOT to move around! At least a little! I'm not saying being one of these run/gun/playground/wildcat guys but more of a "Gannon-esqe" type where you can get out of trouble if you have to!
Anyone that is making judgements before game 4 with this new system is just clowning us. I think the fact that both QBs have struggled means that it’s likely outside factors that are causing issues.
And the first big mistake made this year was not starting him ,he did not lose the job he played better in preseason ,threw one bad pick in last preseason game and started Minshew, and when they finally realized their f#$k up ,they put him in and give him a offensive line that was at its lowest this year with bad bad play calling and the haters (idiots) say he ain't that or this and i.dont give two f#$KS who you had playing qb then no one would have looked good , as soon.

@raiders_17 No, he didn't you casual, 🤣 the game you're thinking about is the Thursday night game against the chargers who the players didn't want to play for Staley anymore and let the raiders beat em like they did, 4tds in the 1st half and got shut down 2nd half, the chiefs game on Christmas day he had a total of 69 yards passing and the defense was the reason the raiders won that game scoring on 2 turnovers in 2 minutes.

Look at the QB positions around the league, Watson and Laurance getting huge money for "potential", Fields, Z Wilson, Jones considered busts, people talking about getting rid of Dak, replacing him with who??. Purdy still trying to get respect outside of San Fran. People need to step back a bit and let players and teams develop. They go on about us missing on a QB in the draft, no guarantee that any of the top 6 guys this year will become superstars. Raider Nation needs to get fully behind whoever wears the Silver and Black for 2024 and trust in the management and players. Rant over😊.
@@darcyoconnell41 the whole team was in a tough situation not just ao. Ao wasn’t brought in to be a starter and he did ok but to expect him to be anything other than ok is ridiculous. He’s not a mustang he’s a pinto
I get emotional when it comes to Aidan, I don't think that I ever wanted someone to succeed more. He will be the starting QB.
He ain't that bad , satisfactory 💯
@@nikkipacheco6835 and that’s not good enough in this new era of nfl and top tier qbs who can move
He has a chance to shock the World. Put in the work and shut everyone up.
I think too many fans & sports writers confuse flashy QB stats & fantasy football with real world NFL play. Aiden will be fine, not flashy but a real lunchpail hard working guy that knows how to play the game. Like Plunket or Gannon
Derek Carr was our best QB since Gannon and he won 1 game his rookie year this kid can win us rings
@@petervelousis and people made excuse for DC for 9’years. Let’s not make the same mistake again with another mid level at best qb we don’t need to wait 9 years with continued losing records to know he’s not the top tier mobile and athletic qb we need to compete week in/out in this new era of nfl
AOC WILL BE OUR QB
Aiden’s going to be a household name before to long. This kid may not look like much but he can flat out ball. Now that he’s in the NFL he’s only going to get better. Last year was a sample size of his skill set the last four games as he got better with every game.. Everyone already knows what they have in Minshew. Now it’s time to see what we have in Aiden.
It’s nice to hear someone be positive about this kid.. I agree with you as well! Go Raiders and I’m rooting for AOC all the way 🏴☠️ ☠️ 🏴☠️
great vid man, it’s about time someone did a AOC Hype vid. Thank you so much. i’m gonna use this vid as fuel to the fire under all the yt Raiders suck ass podcasters that talked shite about him all the way until AP said it. What he did last season was damn near heroic. Greatness is this guys DNA. With all he’s overcome i just hope his greatness is with the Raiders.
Let’s Go!
I like the kid. I hope he can become a solid NFL starter. If he keeps improving like he did last season, I feel like he might be able to be really good.
AOC Raiders MVP 2024.
Love the guy. Great accuracy.
4,100 yards
35 TD’s
12 INT’s
With tae Adam’s, Jakobi, bowers, and Tucker AOC is gonna tear it up
Make or break for Mr. Aidan O'Connell. This is your chance to prove yourself and stay employed, my young Padawan!
@@adonisguy3243 when he gets benched it won’t mean he’ll be cut, he’ll just go to his more natural nfl position, holding the clipboard
AOC is indeed the real deal! However, I think its fair to at least note that defenses THIS year will be better prepared for him than they were last year. Sophomore jinx is well established in NFL, especially for QBs. So, I think another show might try to work through how certain qbs have avoided the s-jinx and others have fallen victim--and then re-analyze how AOC will proceed in 2024.
@@kenweakley3636 real deal?
AOC only played half a season too!!! Second behind CJ STroud in Everything???? So everyone that bashes him🖕🏽🖕🏽and go Raiders!!
Aidan is straight trash. Stop Kidding
Facts
Lol dang pretty serious over a QB that’s no good
@@mattm5365 he was in a much better position than most other QBs too especially B Young with the lack of talent he has in Carolina. Yet with less talent BY never went 3 quarters wo completing a pass
Saw homeboy last preseason -been watching, reading, and writing ever since. Obviously excellent; can he become elite.
He seems like he’s destined to be a starter in the nfl, maybe even win a bowl. No matter where he goes, there becomes injuries or they are thin at qb. He’s gotten lucky, it must be for a reason.
I stand with Aidan O
Aiden is goin shock the nfl in major way they sleep on the kid
@@anthonyowens9827 with more games where he can’t complete a pass or will be Khalil Mack’s bitch again for another 6 sack game
Absolutely AOC will win the starting job. I think Gardner is better but AOC is a competitor.
As for his stats I think it will be similar to last season if not a bit better.
We’re gonna need magic to do something good this year but it’s possible
10-7 , 11-6?
If this o-line gels Aiden is going to light it up !
All of his stats last year came against staggering teams, lets not forget the shutout against the vikings, and not throwing a single completion for 3 quarters against KC. A game manager at best, not even close to being a gunslinger. Dude legit tied Jamarcus Russell's consecutive incompletion record. Worst QB weve had since Russell.
In the words of TO: That’s my quarterback! 🤣
There is a lot of aiden throw make you say wow!
@@Phoguy24 like the late throws and the ones that are high when guys are wide open.
@decalphotos2295 he's was a rookie let him learn and see what can he do this season
Yes he's the starter. And I'm gonna say close to 4,000 yards and 24-32 TDs
Fun fact: O'connell was actually 8th on the depth chart when he made it onto the team.
Did not know that
How could he be “8th on the depth chart?” When most NFL teams generally only have 2 QB’s on the roster, with another QB on the practice squad…Am I missing something?
@@JJDonoghuetalking about in college
@@JJDonoghue In college and actually purdue had 9 at the time 😂
@@cj2k867 I believe he was 6
I’m more hopeful about AOC than most. Reason why is he has a strong arm that is accurate. Noodle arm QBs with no zip or accuracy you can’t fix. That’s not Aiden. He also has great work ethic from what I’ve heard and seen. Also a humble guy. His only struggles last season was quick decision making in the pocket. He would sometimes freeze or get on the move too late. His last 4 games in particular but overall he was solid for the 8 games he played. He did fail to score in a game and that was scary. I’m excited to see him in year 2. I’m going to be cautiously optimistic though and predict 3800 yards with 23 TDs and 12 INTs.
I was at a Raider game last year and I saw how good he was 0 points. I was really impressed! The autumn wind bags blow hard this year.
He knows how to win
He's great and has an awesome future, ahead of him! AOC Baby
People seem to forget he was a rookie last year with not real OTA with first team
@@ricksimmons3245 JG was injured during otas so he got snaps
AOC is a true role model.
@@Trumps_Idiocracy_2024 of a statue qb from the 70s and 80s and too bad it’s 2024
I’m not gonna crown him early like some others are doing. Until he gets us to the playoffs & has playoff wins, I’m not satisfied.
@@boogie8558 I’m not even thinking that as a possibility. I want to see someone who actually flashes high end top tier qb talent and that’s not ao
Crown him? I don’t know anyone that’s doing that. I feel like I’m his biggest supporter and I’m expecting to throw a few more than 20TDs. Crown him is way down the line. We just want competency right now. With these weapons he should make huge improvements this season.
They start this guy Instead of minshew you can kiss the season goodbye
If he adds some mobility to his game, we should be good
@@jr.9117 how long has he played qb? He’s never been mobile so what makes you think over one off season he’ll figure out how to do that?
I think Aidan said he was 9th on the depth chart, he could have remembered wrong.
I think this coming season, Aiden and Turner are going to be compared to Plunkett and Branch for us old school Raider Nation fans
@@emilybaxterthecartoonywitc1805 You mean Tre Tucker. I see the similarities too. Fingers crossed
@@6916dog yeah. Stupid auto correct. 😆 🤣
Exactly what I told my son. He barely remembers Plunkett, but he's so pumped about AO12 that he bought us tickets to the opener in SOFI. Can't wait for Sept 8th.

He is nothing like Tom in the pocket lmao, thats hilarious.
You never know!
@adonisguy3243 yes anyone that watched football know he looks nothing like Brady in the pocket
If by that you mean a pocket QB, 💯 %. He needs to improve his awareness and get better at decision making. He has the arm and decent aim to be a starter.
@@LubeGehrig yes he does.
Idk why, but I've had a good feeling about this kid since before he was drafted.. he might just be the guy
Let the coaches have a competition.

Day one of him taking a snap with the Raiders I have believed in him and think he will only get better. Love the breakdown in this video and agree…he is a sleeper!
he is good enough to get them to the big dance , the luck of the Raiders, that they did not listen to the noise of a bunch of no it all.s
Aiden O' Candoit
After watching receiver on Netflix the raiders are slept on. O’Connell is actually a good QB.
@@dangelocummins2395 we deserve better than good we need above average not another average at best qb
He is the raiders best chance at a late round hero story! He is smart and accurate, he just needs to be shifty enough in the pocket.
Dude beat the chiefs in KC so he has my vote
@@JunnyB124 no he was the qb in the KC game the defense won for us. He didn’t complete a pass for 3 quarters in that game. Thats not leadership in my book. Nor is that him leading us to a win.
Defensive ends are too big and fast nowadays too just sit in the pocket. If Aiden can develop an elusive aspect to his game and extend plays with his legs, he will be fine. We shall see.
@@idmemo3942 how long has he been playing qb? He hasn’t learned that skill set so far what makes you think at 26 he will?
I been on him since college thought he was a baller
I vote for Aiden as the starting quarterback
Aiden is the starting QB.
Until next year’s draft when we get a real QB
@@Ltr87top no
@@Ltr87topthe raiders aren’t tanking this season so that means picking up a top 10 pick qb is out of discussion. The raiders are in win now mode hence the signing of Christian Wilkins and people working the fu ck out in the gym putting in work. The raiders if anything could land a second round qb this draft
AOC is the QB that will lead us to the lifting of the Lombardi
I'm pulling for him but based on what I saw latest year, , dude has GOT to move around! At least a little! I'm not saying being one of these run/gun/playground/wildcat guys but more of a "Gannon-esqe" type where you can get out of trouble if you have to!
Yeah right sure he’s wonderful. Just like last year you said. Jimmy G has been a winner where ever he goes
Anyone that is making judgements before game 4 with this new system is just clowning us.
I think the fact that both QBs have struggled means that it’s likely outside factors that are causing issues.
I love it
Aidan is going 36-11 for 4100 yards
LFG!!!!!!
And the first big mistake made this year was not starting him ,he did not lose the job he played better in preseason ,threw one bad pick in last preseason game and started Minshew, and when they finally realized their f#$k up ,they put him in and give him a offensive line that was at its lowest this year with bad bad play calling and the haters (idiots) say he ain't that or this and i.dont give two f#$KS who you had playing qb then no one would have looked good , as soon. As he's healthy he needs to be back in there
He's the GUY!
play Minshew develop O’Connell

He's lucky mcpussalls didn't trade him like he did waller just out of spite...but im all for AOC .to ball 🏈

Go Raiders…..
Remember Tom Brady who started from the bottom not a really from a big college and not one of the best and one of there but now he haves been nominated too be one of the best QB out there so don’t over look our boii AOC he might just be the next Tom
On a side note, O'Connell is going t look a lot better in that #12.
Face the facts QB AOC Farva 🤣 won't win against way better defensive teams & that's why Raiders Organization need to draft real QB
To much hype for a McDaniels pick 🤦
Definently a bronco fan 😂
@raiders_17 dude wasn't the reason why the raiders won games it was the defense, we'll see what he can do this training camp going into the pre season bur so far all I've heard is that he's been struggling so there's that. I'm not a broncos fan at all, it just seems like the carr haters hyped up injury prone jimmy and O'Connell as the future and now that we seen what jimmy was and how poorly he played these haters have nothing left but keep hyping up O'Connell because they don't want minshew winning the job ot it will just prove that they're moron fans who said jimmy and O'Connell were better then carr and all they did was play bad, bottom 5 offense in 2023 with all those weapons.

@raiders_17 No, he didn't you casual, 🤣 the game you're thinking about is the Thursday night game against the chargers who the players didn't want to play for Staley anymore and let the raiders beat em like they did, 4tds in the 1st half and got shut down 2nd half, the chiefs game on Christmas day he had a total of 69 yards passing and the defense was the reason the raiders won that game scoring on 2 turnovers in 2 minutes.
@@mschanandlerbong4206 he still helped
Drafted as a long term project? Dude turns 26 in a couple of months, you wanna talk about the biggest waste of time for both parties
He’s at best a career back up. He gave up the NFL record for the most sacks in one game to a single defender and single handily had the worst game in nfl history where he didn’t complete a single pass in the second half of a game where he lost 3-0
