AOC4 is the most disrespected QB in the NFL. He was the second best rookie QB and improved with every game while ending the season with 8tds and 0 pics . AOC4 is the man !!!
We do know he holds on the ball too long and offense had limited pocket movement plays so he looks worse than his rookie season indicates… I would not be excited about this season like we were when we got Davante but with our defense balling out who knows…
@@Rob-gf3pb let’s go with something besides AOC, that’s my Honey in New York! 😅 AO4, A-Con, Aiden or … it’s OK to want better but at what cost. We’re not talking about a personal relationship. We’re talking about football players something short term that doesn’t last forever. We just trying to win a Super Bowl not try to marry nobody not trying to not cheat on them not trying to get a “better” girlfriend, wife, boyfriend , husband or whatever let’s stop it, lol
This is a fact! He is the most disrespected QB in this league. IF he was a 2024 NFL draft prospect with a preview of what he did in the last 9 NFL games. He will be a top 3 for sure. AOC has high value as an NFL QB. The Commanders would've been tempted to take him + the Raiders' 2024 13th pick for their 2024 1st rounder. (Assuming other 2nd and 3rd rounders thrown in)
The problem is the fans have no patience! Troy aikman in his first year,had18 int & 9 tds ... Aoc did a pretty good job coming off the bench... Is there room for improvement, absolutely!
@@leroythemaster4268 I could live with that, don't know if I really think a WR is worth what they would have to give up for that pick, but if that would happen that tells me they would let Davante go to NY.
Yup, we picked up an OC to run the west coast offense for a reason. And now with Minshew on the squad, would be a great bridge QB for AOC to develop under. Sean Payton was high on AOC when he was in college. He runs a west coast offense. We good. Let’s pick up a CB1 or beef up our Oline.
Would I be surprised? Maybe I would. But I feel better knowing the back up is capable to come in if he's struggling. Still need to pick up a QB in the draft if one falls.
People hate AOC because no one told them he was good. If he was a 1st or 2nd rounder majority of nfl media and Raider fans will talk about how well he played down the stretch and he has a bright future. But since he’s a 4th round pick he’s already labeled career backup.
Yea most people minds simple, they can’t think far as what some one tell them, they let Rounds & Numbers tell them if a player gone be good or not, But TBH it’s jus like Age no matter what round or pick u go Either you Can Ball or Not, & he went 4th round so they mind automatically think “Oh he didn’t get drafted high so he mus not be that good he a career backup” Retarted asf
Thank you Carl for these highlights. Was waiting for someone to post up Aidans deep sideline passes after he escapes the pocket. Vs mia and min. Also the td pass to mayer vs jets. Folks, now let Getsy incorporate bootlegs and rollouts in the offense. Therefore defenses cannot pin their ears back. Aidan can make every pass on the field. Connected with deep passes to meyers, adams and Tucker. Got mayer involved in the offense as well. Fans better get use to Aidan as the starter.
Nice cut ups Carl. I expect Aidan to have a great 2nd season. The Raiders Oline must be a strength on the team for the kid to shine no doubt. My hope is Telesco picks a RT at 13. I also hope he drafts 2 interior olineman later on as well.
I like waiting to see what falls to us. Best player available. All the signing's are looking real good Free Agent wise. So running with Aidan is fine by me! I can see him taking a solid step forward. He just looked better and better as the season rolled along post Clown Show.
In AOC I trust, he's going to be a more agile, experienced, and confidant QB. Raiders need a high level OT to fill the O line hole giving Aidan more time and open up running lanes keeping their defense fierce and fresh.
Great job Carl. You showing out AC4 is exactly what Raider Nation needs to see at a time when it looks like we may not draft a QB at all. Give him a full off season, OTAs and mini camp with the ones and he will keep building that chemistry and come out next year firing on all cylinders looking like a new QB that’s gonna take Raider Nation to the big show and prove he is an elite QB in this league.. imo 🙏🏼
Thank you for making this video, people forget about the good plays aidan was able to make and just hold the bad against him, everyone forgets the situatuion he was thrown in and he did great for a team that was on the verge of collapse
I like this kid. Now that JM is gone he can go back to being the QB he was in college. He scrambled, extended plays and moved around in the pocket too. We don’t need a Jackson or Mahomes clone. He’s a duel threat and I think he knows that’s what he has to do to keep his job. It’s been said he directly went to work on improving his mobility. The kids got an arm and he’s extremely accurate. It didn’t show much when he got thrown in the fire by JM. Rookie with no confidence is detrimental to the kids head. AP restoring all that.
JUST WATCH AOC4 CRUSH IT WITH A FULL OFF SEASON WITH THE ONES AND THE RAIDERS BUILDUP OUR LINE OUR DEFENSE IS NEVER BEEN THIS GOOD THERE IS SO MUCH TO BE EXCITED FOR THIS YEAR LETS GO RAIDERS JUST WIN BABY
Great video! Love all the positive comments. Even if we do get a rookie QB in the draft, AOC or GM will have to be the starter until the rookie is ready, so this is totally appropriate. I am looking forward to another off season of training to see how AOC improves. He was great in the preseason last year, for whatever that is worth. I don't think it was luck by any means. Let's buy him some time & improve to O line! RNFL!
Thank u for this video. I am so down for AOC !!! I think with his late season performance and a whole season to prepare? This dude can be a legend !! Yup a legend.
Great show! We'll see how aoc does with stable coaching & people who have faith in him. I thought he did great for a rookie, under last year's circumstances. Thanks!
Bruh, I have said this since preseason last year. I really like this kid. The Raider is soo in fear of Mahomes that they compare every QB to him. Not understanding that you don't need another Mahomes to beat him YOU NEED a DEFENSE capable of beating him. And a QB who can beat their defense. I watch AOC do something I didn't think he was capable of as a rookie and that is win games. Fans criticize him because he's not mobile like Mahomes when HE DOESN'T need to be. All he needs is to do what it takes to WIN GAMES. They talk about him like he moves as if his shoelaces are tied together. What I love about him is he plays the game from the pocket and his movement is to get the ball to his play makers and THAT is how you win games. and he is very well schooled in a pro passing game. Those kids in this draft are not their tendency to run first and make plays with their feet or the WOW play. All we need is someone who runs the offense and manage the game and make the throws that are there. Aiden demonstrated he can do that at a high level.So whats the problem? Yes we need to fill the QB and like everyone else I want the best players we can get at every position. But I'm not going to treat Aiden like he's some after thought because he has proven he can get it done...period
AOC showed plenty of Potential, he should absolutely be QB1 this coming Season, see what he can do in his Sophomore Year with a Full Training Camp, Pre Season, and Season under his Belt with an Actual HC and OC We Addressed a Massive Need on D already and am still Geeked over the Wilkins signing, Gonna be fun watching that DLine eat this Season, and while I am usually a Defense oriented Fan I wouldn't mind seeing us be Offense Oriented in the Draft, snag a OT and maybe a Receiver in the first couple Rounds, yes we have a need at CB but getting our Offense more up to speed is never a Bad Idea Love the Vid as always Carl, you the man! RN4L!!!
Excellent breakdown of O’Connell’s body of work for 2023. I like his grit, determination, and that he showed improvement and a better grasp of the game week over week. I’m not saying he’ll develop into Payton Manning, but who knows. AP gave him a chance and showed him some love, the kid played for him. For O’Connell’s sake, I hope he’s been spending the off season with top notch QB coaches and in the gym…. He needs to build his core and improve his touch and then compete his tail off during the coming camps and ultimately summer camp.
Another great video. I have been on the Raiden Aiden bandwagon (if there is one yet) since Aiden was drafted, and Jimmy was the alternative. You are right should have been #1 all along, and Hoyer #2 was an even more egregious crime against the nation. Love Tre Tucker rising star. Few people agree with my player comp but I see Kurt Warner, Aiden is like an inch taller, but his fav throws are deep just like KW. Thank you again I always rush to click start on your videos.
I thought from day one after the coaching mishap O’Connor would at least get (2) seasons to prove himself . He prove he has a sharp shooter arm and just needs more time to develop in the NFL environment. After all this season was a baptism of fire coaching wise…I bet you he will pick up a thing or two and surprise everyone.
Honestly I say we run it back it back with AOC and use our first round pick on a CB1 and then 2nd pick to add a start to this OLINE. And for those complaining about a a mobile QB he’s been working this off season. On top of that JMD told him to not run because of the patriot way like Tom Brady never leaving the pocket, it was rare. I’m excited let the young buck run it back. But I’m down to pick up QB late in the draft just incase.
No way you can hate on this kid if you know football and watched his progession throughout the season. There arent very many quarterbacks doing full field reads in the nfl let alone a rookie at that. You guys want a runner as qb but forget the best quarterbacks to have ever played the game have all been pocket passers. This young man has a history of beating out the competition and knows what it means to be the underdog. He'll surprise us in the upcoming seasons just watch.
I'm thinking AOC is starter, they drafted and are developing him, he has already done well in trial by fire , the new OC and playbook, offseason training should take him next level. I think they will draft a #3. But you never know as they will compete. So I got Aiden #1, Gardner #2 and draft a rookie for #3 to sit and marinate.
I was a believer after watching his college tape after the draft and before he played an NFL down. Big arm, can get into really good rhythms, really good accuracy, good reads, and somewhat mobile and SMART. He can be coached out of any bad habits and wait till he gets even more up to speed with the NFL game. Imagine if because of his name that you dont give him a shot. I can easily see him going to another team and blowing up. DEF a better option than any of the rookies IMO.
During his super senior season at Purdon't about 5 games in they played Maryland (Jakorian Bennett). I remember the announcer saying O'Connell was like 19-20 in the red zone on the season and 17 of those were TD's. Next think you know they promptly kicked a field goal, Bennet picked O'Connell, and Purdon't won the game. What stood out to me was they scored on 95% of his trips to the red zone. If O'Connell can even come close to that in the pro's... man.
Great Video Carl! .. You're right. Us Raider fans need to quit sleeping on our own guy Aiden. Obviously AP and his Team Mates see something in him. ... I think if Aiden spends the offseason improving in pocket presence and quickness/mobility , he can take that 2nd year leap.
Nice tape BUILD THE OFFENSIVE LINE FOR AOC THIS KID GETS PROTECTION HES GOING TO BE FANTASTIC. WE AP WANTS JD BUT I THINK WE HAVE OUR 3 QB ROOM SET ALREADY
Aiden did great, being a rookie and thrown in so soon. If Gardner beats him out in preseason we can roll with him. Draft bpa , especially in areas we need more help in.
We should let him get a full season to show what he can do, cause if we move up and grab a QB and bust then AP out of a job in 2 seasons tops, we should continue building and pick who falls to us at 13
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for breaking this down for us. I don't believe any of us are saying O'Connell IS the be all end all and the reason we shouldn't even look at a QB if one falls to us, BUT we shouldn't be trying to trade the farm either, nor should we reach and pick a QB at 13th IF he's not the best player on our boards. If there is a chance to trade down and get and get some additional picks because we think we can grab Penix late in the 1st or early 2nd, then that might work but trading picks to move up????.....I would be real nervous about that one. O'Connell might actually be a good NFL player guys but he needs to get a real opportunity for us to see. We need to stop looking for the next Maholmes in the draft because we may never find one.
They are absolutely running with AOC, and it's a good choice, too. Teach him how to scramble and read leverage of defenders doubling Adam's and he's shown he can carve up NFL defenses and make the tough tight window throws needed. Can't wait for QB#4 version 2.1
Still need to grab Pennix if possible in second round. But, i’m comfortable with us rolling with who we got now if we draft to make us a top 5 defense and and RB. O-Line also, would love that kid from Oregon St.
I'm fine with AOC given our options, and I think he will win the job. Munford could play tackle, so I'd love to cement the defense with a Quinyon Mitchell and then go guard in 2nd or 3rd.
Nice piece. Some folks refuse to see AOC’s talents because he’s not some flashy big-name 1st rounder. Clearly he performed better and better as he received more reps. He has underrated arm talent and movement skills, and most importantly he processes quickly. In year 2, he’ll be better in every area because you know this guy is working his ass off. I think he’ll win the starting job over the Raiders options in the draft and over Minshew. With good pass protection, good running game, improved play calling, and a top 10 defense, we can win a lot of games with AOC as QB1.
I got to say after seeing this you have made a believer of me I'm not saying he's a MVP but he can play and he is accurate with the big arm that is the what a Raider QB is made of so let's see what he does with a second season as the starter if he beats out everyone else...RN4L
I miss Oakland! And the Black Hole! Check out "Madden 24 Realistic Expansion Franchise - Expansion Draft & The Return to Oakland! " where the NFL adds an expansion team in Oakland. It includes the Expansion draft an everything. For all you Football nerds. Very interesting.
I been saying it since day one Aiden is a baller and hope he gets a shot to compete cause i believe he’ll beat out menshew and we might draft a later round quarterback but I definitely believe we should build our team around Aiden
Man the amount of hate AOC gets from some raiders fans is absolutely baffling. He was a 4th RD pick who battled his way up drom 3rd on the depth chart to starter amidst a coaching change and limited, very limited playbook. People love to focus on what he cant do or his mobility but totally and stupidly disregard what he CAN do! He was audibling, calling out protections, reading defenses and going through his 1st, 2nd and 3rd reads(things that some 1st rd qbs can't even do). To everyone who underestimates him thats what people did in college and what you're doing now. All he does is keep his head down and keeps grinding. AP loves him. He helped AP get the job. AP is loyal and hes loyal to AOC. Get with the times. AOC is gonna have every opportunity to wins this job and his jump from year one to year two will be HUGE. AOC baby!! Lets goooooo!
Liked everything you said about AOC , I feel he has some BREES pedigree in him coming from Purdue and a lot of other QBs in him from yrs back with that cannon...
5:20 was the first strike of JMD getting fired. RUN THE BALL!! Second strike was throwing players under bus instead of admitting terrible game plan(set up to fail💯) The Last strike was Hoyer starting in Chicago
AOC hes Qb 1 just like AP believes in him so do I. He has what it takes to be great ( mc Daniels did do something right by drafting him) his accuracy is on point, arm strength, finds the open receiver doesn't turn the ball over plus our running game will take pressure off of him ol should always run block even on passing down imaginehow tried a defense would be
AP not going to throw him under the bus. However him wanting to trade up (though not looking like any takers) is very telling. He doesn't believe in him like that
@@raiderdevellian5752did you see AP was mad they got rid of josh jacobs that was tom telasco are new gm made that call so he obviously doesn’t have say in the roster additions
😂 bro all them Trash, y’all crazy if u think Penix, or Nix gone come in the NFL & lead them somewhere Oconell can’t y’all dnt think logically, jus “oh it’s new QB’s in the draft let’s get one” like they gone come be the savior half of em Be Busts look at last year Hype & look how many panned out, but y’all got a 4TH rounder that outplayed them & y’all dnt want Him
@@Fastcash4 aoc was projected to undrafted and did pretty decent so u never know what any of those qbs can do. cant say they wont be good. there was a lot of shit talk about tua and hurts and now look at them
I have faith in AOC4, so many doubt him but give him a solid off season and training camp he can do so much more then he did last year. I hate to see other Raiders news outlet say he is not the guy and AP should be fired if he starts. AP has faith in him, and yes he had some rough games. All part of learning, he was able to be the last QB that beat KC.
One thing about AOC--he kept improving with every start. I tend to throw out that first Charger game out because "you-know-who" just hung him out to dry with no prep and no support. (PS--thanks for not mentioning he-who-shall-not-be-mentioned.)
As always stellar work, thank you for posting Carl. I have said since the end of the season that we should roll with AOC and I stand by that...especially since were going to have a dynamic offensive staff. The kid may look 'soft' but trust me he's far from it. Plus imho he was a stud given the crud show he was thrust into after being allowed to go stale sitting the bench, at least poor Derek had some cohesive offensive staff's. I do feel that AOC has that now with our new regime, however AOC has something poor Derek never had...a real Defense. This yrs Defense will carry us...and that's ok! So let's give AOC a 2yr deal 1M with incentives (watch him improve regardless) and then go from there. Doing this won't hurt us a bit, and it frees up draft capital for RT/Dt etc...Our Defense is taking us to the playoffs this season watch and see. So lets prep for next year...and possibly get that OB! 'If needed' Thank you for your time sir.
There is only one qb I would draft this year and it's Penix. But I'm not selling the house to get him. I'm ok with going into the year with AoC as the starter if he wins the job.
Could be Terrion Arnold.. It’s a deep Tackle class, in rd 2 we should be able to get maybe a Morgan or Suamataia if not Rosengarten should be there, he’s a good player and could easily step into RT.
AOC is fine for the raiders for right now. He may even develop better as he goes along. He gives us no reason to doubt him... Use the draft to fill holes and add depth at other key areas like RB, LB etc.
Considering everything AOC had to deal with, In a Rook year? He handled it like a Vet. Bine none the less he was still a rookie. I wouldn't be t surprised. AP does speak highly of the guy.
For all those who want a mobile qb, rmbr AP won the sb with a statue at qb ELI MANNING. Only two starting qbs from 2021 and 2022 class. (2 of 17.) Only two rookie qbs played 10 games or more last season. Aidan and Stroud. With so much disastrous play in the last 3 seasons from young qbs, why would Telesco draft a qb in the first round??? Cannot risk the future when the qbs are not succeeding at a high rate. Aidan should start. Draft a qb in late rounds for competition.
I guess the idea of building a high powered offense will need to shift to building an average one carried by an elite physicial defense. Let's see how that works out
I wouldn't mind if we went with him for another season. One thing to think about is if they sound like they aren't looking for a QB at 13 then it probably means that they are looking for a QB at 13.
I wish for the best for Aiden O’Connell. I hope he’s the next Tom Brady. But as of right now he is Josh McDaniel‘s fourth round pick. So expectations may be a little high. At some point we need to go all in on a franchise quarterback. Will he develop? Maybe.
AOC to me is the type of QB that won’t lose you the game I just don’t see him as a different maker, I do think we can make the wild card with him if the defense is top 5 next year,it will come down to defense and what we can do on the ground
I've been preaching oline, specifically RT at pick #13. I think Taliese Fuaga is a perfect fit and I hope he slides to #13. AOC will be much improved with a full off season to prepare. He has the decision making, arm talent and accuracy to win.
i honestly dont mind ahk and minshew as our qbs, draft arnold or best defensive player @ #13 and build rest of the defense and the o line thru the draft
Aidan O'Connel is a starter, he has great talent and brains. He will be difficult to beat out for the 1st string. He is developing quickly, showing toughness and an ability to forget mistakes, learn from them and progress. I expect this next season he will have a few 300 yard games, and prove to be a winner. I am certain that he will maintain a starting role. As long as he stays healthy. He has an excellent attitude and has the respect of his teammates and coaches. And he is humble. All traits of a future star, hall of fame type traits. That is a little premature but it is the feeling I get about him. 5 or 10 years from now, will tell. A ring or 2 might help. AOC could be the answer for years. Let him play and prove it himself.
Aiden O'Connell has shown steady improvement ,I like the kid ,he has heart and skills ,I think it should be his position to lose .He finished the season as the starter ,and should remain there until someone takes it from him
AOC4 is the most disrespected QB in the NFL.
He was the second best rookie QB and improved with every game while ending the season with 8tds and 0 pics .
AOC4 is the man !!!
We do know he holds on the ball too long and offense had limited pocket movement plays so he looks worse than his rookie season indicates… I would not be excited about this season like we were when we got Davante but with our defense balling out who knows…
I agree
He’s been very good and underrated
I think he and G.M. Are both great QBs
@@Rob-gf3pb let’s go with something besides AOC, that’s my Honey in New York! 😅 AO4, A-Con, Aiden or … it’s OK to want better but at what cost. We’re not talking about a personal relationship.

Thanks Carl. Nice to see someone recognize what O'Connell had to deal with last year with Mc D and still come out and improve under AP.
You were right about the quarterback situation.
The problem is the fans have no patience! Troy aikman in his first year,had18 int & 9 tds ... Aoc did a pretty good job coming off the bench... Is there room for improvement, absolutely!
The difference is Aikmen was a top tier talent coming out of college. AOC wasnt on that level.
@@raidergainzx5290 and what round was Tom Brady drafted? I just tell you, 6th round 199th overall
I know we need a RT but I would sure love to draft a WR .
I would trade up for Marvin Harrison before trading into the Top 4 for a QB.
@@leroythemaster4268 I could live with that, don't know if I really think a WR is worth what they would have to give up for that pick, but if that would happen that tells me they would let Davante go to NY.

I would not lose a minutes sleep if the Raiders don't draft a QB.
Yup, we picked up an OC to run the west coast offense for a reason. And now with Minshew on the squad, would be a great bridge QB for AOC to develop under. Sean Payton was high on AOC when he was in college. He runs a west coast offense. We good. Let’s pick up a CB1 or beef up our Oline.

Strengthen the rest of the team (Oline, Cb, WR) buy picking the best player at 13, rounds 2, and 3.

It's not all Mahomes anyway. He has a defense.
AOC showed plenty of Potential, he should absolutely be QB1 this coming Season, see what he can do in his Sophomore Year with a Full Training Camp, Pre Season, and Season under his Belt with an Actual HC and OC
We Addressed a Massive Need on D already and am still Geeked over the Wilkins signing, Gonna be fun watching that DLine eat this Season, and while I am usually a Defense oriented Fan I wouldn't mind seeing us be Offense Oriented in the Draft, snag a OT and maybe a Receiver in the first couple Rounds, yes we have a need at CB but getting our Offense more up to speed is never a Bad Idea
Love the Vid as always Carl, you the man! RN4L!!!
Thank you AP for having faith in this kid!!
. Bout time somebody made a vid like this.
Excellent breakdown of O’Connell’s body of work for 2023. I like his grit, determination, and that he showed improvement and a better grasp of the game week over week. I’m not saying he’ll develop into Payton Manning, but who knows. AP gave him a chance and showed him some love, the kid played for him. For O’Connell’s sake, I hope he’s been spending the off season with top notch QB coaches and in the gym…. He needs to build his core and improve his touch and then compete his tail off during the coming camps and ultimately summer camp.
Another great video. I have been on the Raiden Aiden bandwagon (if there is one yet) since Aiden was drafted, and Jimmy was the alternative. You are right should have been #1 all along, and Hoyer #2 was an even more egregious crime against the nation. Love Tre Tucker rising star. Few people agree with my player comp but I see Kurt Warner, Aiden is like an inch taller, but his fav throws are deep just like KW. Thank you again I always rush to click start on your videos.
Thank you.
Unless we are able to trade up for Daniels or get penix in round 2, I'd prefer we go rd 1: OT, 2&3: interior OL or DL/CB based on best available
I thought from day one after the coaching mishap O’Connor would at least get (2) seasons to prove himself . He prove he has a sharp shooter arm and just needs more time to develop in the NFL environment. After all this season was a baptism of fire coaching wise…I bet you he will pick up a thing or two and surprise everyone.
Honestly I say we run it back it back with AOC and use our first round pick on a CB1 and then 2nd pick to add a start to this OLINE.
And for those complaining about a a mobile QB he’s been working this off season.
On top of that JMD told him to not run because of the patriot way like Tom Brady never leaving the pocket, it was rare.
I’m excited let the young buck run it back.
But I’m down to pick up QB late in the draft just incase.
Yea AOC is finally gonna become a rushing QB at age 26
Don't sleep on AOC! He's a true competitor! Frfr
😴
No way you can hate on this kid if you know football and watched his progession throughout the season. There arent very many quarterbacks doing full field reads in the nfl let alone a rookie at that. You guys want a runner as qb but forget the best quarterbacks to have ever played the game have all been pocket passers. This young man has a history of beating out the competition and knows what it means to be the underdog. He'll surprise us in the upcoming seasons just watch.
Qb competition is good for whoever we have starting next year. I think Aidan has some good potential
" THE FIRST FOOL THAT COACHED HIM ".
I'm dying.
I'm thinking AOC is starter, they drafted and are developing him, he has already done well in trial by fire , the new OC and playbook, offseason training should take him next level. I think they will draft a #3. But you never know as they will compete. So I got Aiden #1, Gardner #2 and draft a rookie for #3 to sit and marinate.
I was a believer after watching his college tape after the draft and before he played an NFL down. Big arm, can get into really good rhythms, really good accuracy, good reads, and somewhat mobile and SMART. He can be coached out of any bad habits and wait till he gets even more up to speed with the NFL game.
Imagine if because of his name that you dont give him a shot. I can easily see him going to another team and blowing up. DEF a better option than any of the rookies IMO.
Are we still using the same scouts as when Coach McDick was here?
Anyone got some knowledge about our current scouts?
Let's get Fuaga @ 13 and run it with AOC4
Yes!!!!! 💯
During his super senior season at Purdon't about 5 games in they played Maryland (Jakorian Bennett). I remember the announcer saying O'Connell was like 19-20 in the red zone on the season and 17 of those were TD's. Next think you know they promptly kicked a field goal, Bennet picked O'Connell, and Purdon't won the game. What stood out to me was they scored on 95% of his trips to the red zone. If O'Connell can even come close to that in the pro's... man.
Great Video Carl! .. You're right. Us Raider fans need to quit sleeping on our own guy Aiden. Obviously AP and his Team Mates see something in him. ... I think if Aiden spends the offseason improving in pocket presence and quickness/mobility , he can take that 2nd year leap.
I love Aiden's heart,he can get better with time...we are talking about his rookie season now 😅
People forget that... he looked like that after having a dysfunctional coaching staff, in his inaugural year.
UNLEASH AOC LET HIM PLAY OFF INSTINCTS😏⚡️⚡️⚡️📈📈📈
Nice tape BUILD THE OFFENSIVE LINE FOR AOC THIS KID GETS PROTECTION HES GOING TO BE FANTASTIC. WE AP WANTS JD BUT I THINK WE HAVE OUR 3 QB ROOM SET ALREADY
You’re my boy, AOC!!! I believe!!🏴☠️
AOC I believe will only get better😮 with 1st reps and a few additions to the online and maybe another fast receiver. ❤❤❤
Aiden did great, being a rookie and thrown in so soon. If Gardner beats him out in preseason we can roll with him. Draft bpa , especially in areas we need more help in.
yes they are.
I love AOC ,he wants to win 🏴☠️💪
We should let him get a full season to show what he can do, cause if we move up and grab a QB and bust then AP out of a job in 2 seasons tops, we should continue building and pick who falls to us at 13
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for breaking this down for us. I don't believe any of us are saying O'Connell IS the be all end all and the reason we shouldn't even look at a QB if one falls to us, BUT we shouldn't be trying to trade the farm either, nor should we reach and pick a QB at 13th IF he's not the best player on our boards. If there is a chance to trade down and get and get some additional picks because we think we can grab Penix late in the 1st or early 2nd, then that might work but trading picks to move up????.....I would be real nervous about that one. O'Connell might actually be a good NFL player guys but he needs to get a real opportunity for us to see. We need to stop looking for the next Maholmes in the draft because we may never find one.
If the Raiders take a top OL I would not be upset at it. Give Aiden a fair shake at it.
1 - Arnold/Mitchell CB
2 - Wilson LB
3 - Haynes/Montgomery RG
They are absolutely running with AOC, and it's a good choice, too. Teach him how to scramble and read leverage of defenders doubling Adam's and he's shown he can carve up NFL defenses and make the tough tight window throws needed. Can't wait for QB#4 version 2.1
Still need to grab Pennix if possible in second round. But, i’m comfortable with us rolling with who we got now if we draft to make us a top 5 defense and and RB.
O-Line also, would love that kid from Oregon St.
I'm fine with AOC given our options, and I think he will win the job. Munford could play tackle, so I'd love to cement the defense with a Quinyon Mitchell and then go guard in 2nd or 3rd.
Nice piece. Some folks refuse to see AOC’s talents because he’s not some flashy big-name 1st rounder. Clearly he performed better and better as he received more reps. He has underrated arm talent and movement skills, and most importantly he processes quickly. In year 2, he’ll be better in every area because you know this guy is working his ass off. I think he’ll win the starting job over the Raiders options in the draft and over Minshew. With good pass protection, good running game, improved play calling, and a top 10 defense, we can win a lot of games with AOC as QB1.
I appreciate this vid AOC has a cannon arm beef up the oline he’s gonna be great 🛡️⚔️🏴☠️
I agree. Great vid.
Nice break down Carl. I'm good wit O'Connell just give him new #
Why
of kourse let adamns get his fair share of touches but we still need to spread the ball around, do u feel we did just that last year?
Kids gonna get to compete for the spot an whoever we roll with at the start of the season I'll be good with. I believe in AP
that pick 6 got overturned by a penalty to my understanding
I think so too, he went 8 tds and 0 ints in his last 4 games.
I got to say after seeing this you have made a believer of me I'm not saying he's a MVP but he can play and he is accurate with the big arm that is the what a Raider QB is made of so let's see what he does with a second season as the starter if he beats out everyone else...RN4L
I miss Oakland! And the Black Hole! Check out "Madden 24 Realistic Expansion Franchise - Expansion Draft & The Return to Oakland! " where the NFL adds an expansion team in Oakland. It includes the Expansion draft an everything. For all you Football nerds. Very interesting.
I been saying it since day one Aiden is a baller and hope he gets a shot to compete cause i believe he’ll beat out menshew and we might draft a later round quarterback but I definitely believe we should build our team around Aiden
The more I see, the more I like, and we seem to forget he had Rockie play caller to and no off-season to
Man the amount of hate AOC gets from some raiders fans is absolutely baffling. He was a 4th RD pick who battled his way up drom 3rd on the depth chart to starter amidst a coaching change and limited, very limited playbook. People love to focus on what he cant do or his mobility but totally and stupidly disregard what he CAN do! He was audibling, calling out protections, reading defenses and going through his 1st, 2nd and 3rd reads(things that some 1st rd qbs can't even do). To everyone who underestimates him thats what people did in college and what you're doing now. All he does is keep his head down and keeps grinding. AP loves him. He helped AP get the job. AP is loyal and hes loyal to AOC. Get with the times. AOC is gonna have every opportunity to wins this job and his jump from year one to year two will be HUGE. AOC baby!! Lets goooooo!
Liked everything you said about AOC , I feel he has some BREES pedigree in him coming from Purdue and a lot of other QBs in him from yrs back with that cannon...
GIVE HIM A O LINE THEN TALK ❤🎉 AOC⚡️
5:20 was the first strike of JMD getting fired. RUN THE BALL!!
Second strike was throwing players under bus instead of admitting terrible game plan(set up to fail💯)
The Last strike was Hoyer starting in Chicago
AOC hes Qb 1 just like AP believes in him so do I. He has what it takes to be great ( mc Daniels did do something right by drafting him) his accuracy is on point, arm strength, finds the open receiver doesn't turn the ball over plus our running game will take pressure off of him ol should always run block even on passing down imaginehow tried a defense would be
AP not going to throw him under the bus. However him wanting to trade up (though not looking like any takers) is very telling. He doesn't believe in him like that
@@raiderdevellian5752did you see AP was mad they got rid of josh jacobs that was tom telasco are new gm made that call so he obviously doesn’t have say in the roster additions
@@AlbucrazyG he does, he doesn't get to negotiate contracts though. And Tom even more than AP wants a QB FOR SURE. AOC is settling
It’ll be hard to pass up Penix and Nix, I think Pratt is a sleeper too
😂 bro all them Trash, y’all crazy if u think Penix, or Nix gone come in the NFL & lead them somewhere Oconell can’t y’all dnt think logically, jus “oh it’s new QB’s in the draft let’s get one” like they gone come be the savior half of em Be Busts look at last year Hype & look how many panned out, but y’all got a 4TH rounder that outplayed them & y’all dnt want Him
@@Fastcash4 aoc was projected to undrafted and did pretty decent so u never know what any of those qbs can do. cant say they wont be good. there was a lot of shit talk about tua and hurts and now look at them
@@CHENOTV they both MID 😑 Tua mos def Mid
@@Fastcash4 both played in playoffs meanwhile we haven’t been there in almost a decade
@@Fastcash4 ur just a pessimist
I have faith in AOC4, so many doubt him but give him a solid off season and training camp he can do so much more then he did last year. I hate to see other Raiders news outlet say he is not the guy and AP should be fired if he starts. AP has faith in him, and yes he had some rough games. All part of learning, he was able to be the last QB that beat KC.
Drafting QBs is a 50/50 proposition at best. Very intrigued to see AOC with a full offseason. 🤞 Can’t count him out yet.
He has that ole rich Gannon the Catholic cannon double pump
Too like it
One thing about AOC--he kept improving with every start. I tend to throw out that first Charger game out because "you-know-who" just hung him out to dry with no prep and no support. (PS--thanks for not mentioning he-who-shall-not-be-mentioned.)
As always stellar work, thank you for posting Carl.
I have said since the end of the season that we should roll with AOC
and I stand by that...especially since were going to have a dynamic offensive staff.
The kid may look 'soft' but trust me he's far from it. Plus imho he was a stud given the crud show he was thrust into after being allowed to go stale sitting the bench, at least poor Derek had some cohesive offensive staff's. I do feel that AOC has that now with our new regime, however AOC has something poor Derek never had...a real Defense. This yrs Defense will carry us...and that's ok!
So let's give AOC a 2yr deal 1M with incentives (watch him improve regardless) and then go from there. Doing this won't hurt us a bit, and it frees up draft capital for RT/Dt etc...Our Defense is taking us to the playoffs this season watch and see. So lets prep for next year...and possibly get that OB! 'If needed' Thank you for your time sir.
Thank you.
There is only one qb I would draft this year and it's Penix. But I'm not selling the house to get him. I'm ok with going into the year with AoC as the starter if he wins the job.
AOC, Minchew & a Rookie may the best man win
As soon as he’s named, I’m getting his jersey
Could be Terrion Arnold..
It’s a deep Tackle class, in rd 2 we should be able to get maybe a Morgan or Suamataia if not Rosengarten should be there, he’s a good player and could easily step into RT.
AOC is fine for the raiders for right now. He may even develop better as he goes along. He gives us no reason to doubt him... Use the draft to fill holes and add depth at other key areas like RB, LB etc.
Considering everything AOC had to deal with, In a Rook year? He handled it like a Vet.
Bine none the less he was still a rookie.
I wouldn't be t surprised. AP does speak highly of the guy.
For all those who want a mobile qb, rmbr AP won the sb with a statue at qb ELI MANNING.
Only two starting qbs from 2021 and 2022 class. (2 of 17.)
Only two rookie qbs played 10 games or more last season. Aidan and Stroud.
With so much disastrous play in the last 3 seasons from young qbs, why would Telesco draft a qb in the first round???
Cannot risk the future when the qbs are not succeeding at a high rate.
Aidan should start. Draft a qb in late rounds for competition.
I want a smart QB over any other trait.
Then Accuracy.
Then a cannon.
Legs are last on the list.
I guess the idea of building a high powered offense will need to shift to building an average one carried by an elite physicial defense. Let's see how that works out
I wouldn't mind if we went with him for another season. One thing to think about is if they sound like they aren't looking for a QB at 13 then it probably means that they are looking for a QB at 13.
True!
i wouldnt be mad if we skip a qb and rock with aoc. but i gotta admit im liking the possibility of penix jr coming to vegas
I wish for the best for Aiden O’Connell. I hope he’s the next Tom Brady. But as of right now he is Josh McDaniel‘s fourth round pick. So expectations may be a little high. At some point we need to go all in on a franchise quarterback. Will he develop? Maybe.
AOC to me is the type of QB that won’t lose you the game I just don’t see him as a different maker, I do think we can make the wild card with him if the defense is top 5 next year,it will come down to defense and what we can do on the ground
#RN4L
I've been preaching oline, specifically RT at pick #13. I think Taliese Fuaga is a perfect fit and I hope he slides to #13. AOC will be much improved with a full off season to prepare. He has the decision making, arm talent and accuracy to win.
i honestly dont mind ahk and minshew as our qbs, draft arnold or best defensive player @ #13 and build rest of the defense and the o line thru the draft
Aidan O'Connel is a starter, he has great talent and brains. He will be difficult to beat out for the 1st string. He is developing quickly, showing toughness and an ability to forget mistakes, learn from them and progress. I expect this next season he will have a few 300 yard games, and prove to be a winner. I am certain that he will maintain a starting role. As long as he stays healthy. He has an excellent attitude and has the respect of his teammates and coaches. And he is humble. All traits of a future star, hall of fame type traits. That is a little premature but it is the feeling I get about him. 5 or 10 years from now, will tell. A ring or 2 might help.
AOC could be the answer for years. Let him play and prove it himself.
Oh man keep posting, you are hilarious.
If you listen to AP hes sounding like it and paying good backup money to minshew suggest it
I hope they take the best o-lineman or cornerback with the 13th pick
I like this kid he's got potential
Got to give AOC his second year to run it back.
Aiden O'Connell has shown steady improvement ,I like the kid ,he has heart and skills ,I think it should be his position to lose .He finished the season as the starter ,and should remain there until someone takes it from him
