AOC looks bad bruh

We won’t make it anywhere with him nor Jimmy

We still need an actual QB

In 3 starts, he has 600 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs. He’s benefiting a lot from a rejuvenated run game.

He’s been serviceable, I don’t see where he’s been “great”.

Too early. No need to make this decision now. Axtually, I'd argue that we need to keep into a variety of options to see what the next best move is, rather than thing ourself down to anything or anyone

I admit I’m intrigued, and he has the rest of the season to prove it, so let’s see what’s he’s got.

As much as we understand this is a 10 week job application process for AP, Bo, and even Patrick Graham. It's the same for AOC. They're all passing the grade after two weeks. Let's keep reviewing every week.

Now let's throw logic out the window, in my opinion you're correct lol. He gives me Brady potential vibes with a slightly better set of wheels.

I think he’s been great relative to his draft position, but not necessarily great on an absolute scale. But it’s too early to say he will or won’t get there. He’s had 3 games as a starter. Lots of room for growth. He also has one of the best set of surrounding players in the league in Adams, Meyers, Mayer, and Jacobs, so we’ll get a clear look at what he’s able to do

He gives us the best chance to win now, and he’ll improve but I haven’t seen anything yet to say he’s our franchise qb

I’m not sold on AOC as the franchise QB but even if he’s not I think he’ll make a great backup. Can’t say what he is at this point with his limited amount of play but he doesn’t jump off the screen. If somehow one of the top prospects fall or the Raiders can find a decent deal to move up they should draft another QB in the upcoming class and let a QB competition happen. If they both turn out looking great you can trade one.

I guarantee we take a QB in the first two rounds next year.

He’s better than Jimmy but there’s still a lot of talent out there. Just gotta see how things end io

I’m going all in on AOC

I have hopium running through my veins

He almost threw the game away with a pick 6 at the end of the last game, and his numbers are not very good. He's not turning the ball over, but he's not doing a great job of moving the ball either over the course of his 3 games. He's got 7 more to make the case, but so far he sure looks like a 4th rounder who has been forced into the starting role to me.

It's been 3 games...

He’s the present. At best, I’d like for him to win out this year and start next year with a rookie first round QB sitting behind him

“AOCis doing great. His numbers are right there with the top of the league after three starts”. Where are you basing this of off? In history? This season? He’s only throw 1 TD across 2 starts. Let’s settle down here.

He’s been ok, he stood tall against a ferocious defense but not exactly lighting the world on fire. He needs to start putting up big numbers or continue to win games in order to convince the raiders to ignoring drafting a QB this year.

It’s a loaded class, it’s would be dumb for a QB-needy team to avoid drafting a guy this year.

He’s the now. Why can’t that be enough?

We're going to look back at the 2023 draft class and see Aidan as the best QB.

He’s cheap but Jimmy isn’t unfortunately. Mcdaniels fucked that one up so badly.

He's the starting QB for the Raiders. So, I'll support him and the team. In the off-season, if the team is able to improve in any position, it should.

He can't throw it deep, man

Rookie contact and draft more defense and oline

I can’t stop thinking about politics when I hear AOC. Isn’t there something better or more original to call this guy?

I’m hyped too, but to say he’s right there with the top of the league is just not being honest. He’s exactly what this offense needs, but he’s not even remotely close to the top of the league. Your Josh Allen point isn’t even remotely comparable when Josh Allen is leading the league in touchdowns while having all those INTs. Aidan starts dropping 2-3 touchdowns a game and I’ll be right there with you

"AOC is doing great. His numbers are right there with the top of the league after three starts."

Are we watching the same games?

Which numbers are among the top of the league?

This post is why people laugh at Raider fans...are you serious?

Stop this. There is a great QB class coming into the league. They need to do their due diligence and go get their guy. Start by looking at Michael Penix Jr please.

1st round - best defensive player available, preferably a DT, or another CB. Day 1 starter.

I think in the 2nd, there will be several Qb’s available still in a pretty deep draft that have the potential to be a franchise QB. If it makes sense there, I think they could definitely draft a QB to compete with AOC heading into next season.

But that’s only if we can take a solid defensive player round 1.

3rd round is a great round for interior help on the Oline, may be able to snag a pretty good tackle there as well.

If they keep playing well and inspired, they have plenty of options heading into the draft. Curious to see if Champ gets the final say as opposed to AP (if they are kept as GM/HC obviously).

He's the future...of 2023 at least. I agree rookie QB contracts are the way to go, but I have a feeling this team will play themselves out of a top 10 pick and push them way out of the range for your top tier QB's.

Caleb Williams and Drake Maye will be the top picks. This then leaves you with the next tiers:

-Bo Nix

-Michael Penix Jr.

-Riley Leonard

-J.J. McCarthy

-Jayden Daniels

-Quinn Ewers

Those are late 1st-2nd round guys. Do you roll with AOC or take a rookie? The Free Agent/Trade market is less than ideal. For me, the only guys worth considering via trade would be:

-Kyler Murray (the contract is bad)

-Justin Fields

All of this is contingent on how this season goes, and if we keep the current GM and coach.

He has his shot. No need to commit right now. If he can lead us to a winning record, at least 1 win against KC, and maybe slip into the playoffs, I think he should be penciled in as the man next year and we can focus on other parts of the roster.

If not, we need to at least keep our options open. Who knows what could happen with the head coach position, free agency, and the draft.

For the record, I like him and I hope he is the guy.

He’s the bridge QB to the rookie we draft. He definitely has promise but we need a few games to see what he really can do

He’s averaging less than 200 yards a game and has more interceptions than touchdowns. Let’s hold off before we go anointing him the future of the franchise.

The Defense is the future. Raiders are drafting a QB this.coming draft. They have to. Or sign one. Brian Hoyer ain't gonna cut it.

How much dead cap space is the release of Jimmy G gonna cost the Raiders?

Homegrown talent. I’m in.

Y’all are too high on AOC. He’s a better option than Jimmy G, that’s all he is (for now). Even then, I’d go as far as saying that the only reason he’s a better option than Jimmy G is because he has a more versatile arm and can actually throw downfield.

Let the kid finish out the season and we’ll see where assess his performance then. I haven’t seen anything special or promising from AOC. He definitely deserves a chance to finish out the season and prove me wrong and I hope he does. But based on what we’ve seen so far, there’s no way we’re getting anything done with him as the QB

He's capable of better. What he does vs Miami will help determine if he's real or not.

Let’s see how we all feel in two weeks

I'd like to see how he does with some time in the pocket

They have the rest of the year to figure this out. He and the OC are tight, and AP has a good plan to pound the run and quick hit pass routes to allow the game to slow down for AOC. I like him a lot. His accuracy is a strength. Quicker reads, decisions, and ball control need to be an emphasis.

No he’s not

We need line help pretty bad
