The second preseason game did not go as Antonio Pierce and the Raiders had hoped. The first preseason game saw the two quarterbacks — Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew — battling for the starting job both show flashes. Minshew won the day in terms of his play, however he was going against reserves while O’Connell faced starters.

Antonio Pierce has seen enough to make decision on Raiders starting QB

The Raiders quarterback competition probably came to end on Saturday night. It has been a long time coming, but it looked like there was enough separation this week between Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew to finally make a decision. From a statistical standpoint, Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew were...

Bo Nix is one of six quarterbacks drafted in the top 12 of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he's no lock to be the Broncos starting QB in Week 1 of the regular season.

It is that time of year when Fantasy Football drafts are around the corner. NFL training camp is here, injuries could change things here and there at the signal caller position I.e., quarterback, but one thing remains the same, the American Football Conference remains a gauntlet with top-tier skill sets at the quarterback position. If you do not have an elite signal caller, you will not win in the postseason in the AFC or for that matter, even get to the playoffs.

Antonio Pierce said earlier this week he hoped to name the Raiders' starting quarterback after facing off against the Cowboys. He just didn't say how long after. Following the preseason contest, a 27-12 loss in which neither Gardner Minshew nor incumbent Aidan O'Connell made much of a statement, Pierce has given himself a few more days to evaluate.

Russell Wilson will make his first start in a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, in the club’s second preseason game of the 2024 season, and he also remains ahead in the team’s starting quarterback battle with Justin Fields, but the betting markets don’t think Wilson has a very strong grip on the Steelers’ QB1 role.

LAS VEGAS -- The competition for the Raiders' starting quarterback job remained murky after both Aidan O'Connell and Gardner Minshew were outplayed Saturday night by Trey Lance, a third-stringer who threw a touchdown pass and rushed for another to lead the Dallas Cowboys to a 27-12 preseason victory over Las Vegas.

New Orleans Saints rookie QB Spencer Rattler says he is 100% following a thigh contusion he suffered during his NFL debut in Saturday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals. Saints HC Dennis Allen said Rattler was “fighting to be out there” despite missing Sunday’s practice with thigh discomfort, to which Spencer added that he doesn’t like to be thrown out of his routine and takes pride in not missing any time on the field. Ultimately, the coaching staff decided it’d be best to take a day off. The rookie returned on Tuesday, but it looked as if the injury was affecting his mobility. Rattler quickly bounced back with three impressive performances in consecutive practices to close out Saints training camp in Irvine, CA.

If you have two quarterbacks, you don't have any. Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce knows that slogan all too well, especially given both of his signal-callers are mediocre at best.
