On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce announced after last Saturday’s game that quarterback Gardner Minshew would be the starting quarterback for the Raiders. The competition was stiff between Minshew and Aidan O’Connell but Minshew won it out.

#2 Pierce said that some of what Minshew showed in pre season games showed in practices which counted towards the decision.

#3 Pierce said says while the quarterback situation is not a finished product and based off what Pierce has seen he feels Minshew gives the Raiders the best chance.

#4 Minshew is in his sixth year in the NFL and started last season with the Indianapolis Colts and led them to the post season. Minshew does come in with experience and credentials that could help the Raiders.

#5 The Raiders conclude the pre season with the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium on Fri Aug 23rd in Las Vegas. Since announcing Minshew as the starter do you see him sitting out that last pre season game and O’Connell taking most of the game’s snaps?
