Once again, the Las Vegas Raiders are turning to Gardner Minshew as the starting quarterback. This is while waiting for Aidan O’Connell to return from injury. It was expected that Head Coach Antonio Pierce might turn to backup Desmond Ridder to start in week 11. This would be the logical move after Minshew was benched for the third time this season in Week 9. Instead, Pierce decided to stick with Minshew. Pierce said in a press conference “What do we got to lose at this point?

He was the team’s second choice and came from a tumultuous tenure in Chicago. The Las Vegas Raiders offense has the most turnovers and the league’s worst rushing attack.

Some of Getsy’s decisions have been extremely baffling.

The Golden Knights are consistent winners while the Raiders have just one winning season in Vegas.
