Breakdown of Minshew’s performance vs the Dallas Cowboys last Saturday.
The Las Vegas Raiders named Gardner Minshew the starting quarter last Sunday. After both quarterbacks in the battle failed to take the reigns at the position, they decided to go with the veteran.
When Minshew left the field against the Dallas Cowboys many expected he had lost the job to Aidan O’Connell. He was 10/21 passing for 95 yards with 4.8 YPA. It was an ugly performance by the stats with Minshew but O’Connell didn’t fare much better throwing a pick-six.
Now, Minshew is the starter but it appears he has a short leash after Pierce’s comments on Sunday. He will have to play better than he did in the preseason completing less than 50% of his passes against vanilla coverages.
In this week’s breakdown, I will look into what Minshew is struggling with regarding running the offense. There are a few areas of concern but the deep ball has been consistent. check it out below and subscribe to the channel.
