  The Las Vegas Raiders held a quarterback competition this offseason that was won by quarterback Gardner Minshew. However, in O'Connell's performance against the Kansas City Chiefs raises questions.

The article from MSN discusses the quarterback situation for the Las Angeles Raiders, focusing on the decision to start Jimmy Garoppolo over Aidan O'Connell at the beginning of the season. Despite Garoppolo's experience, his performance has been lackluster, with a completion rate of 65.5%, 12 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions, leading to a 3-5 record for the team. In contrast, rookie Aidan O'Connell, who was thrust into the starting role due to Garoppolo's injury, showed promise by leading the team to a victory against the New York Giants with a performance that included 209 passing yards and no interceptions. The article argues that O'Connell's performance, especially in comparison to Garoppolo's, suggests that the Raiders might have been better off starting the season with O'Connell, potentially altering the team's trajectory for the better. This perspective is supported by the notion that O'Connell's play could have provided the Raiders with a more dynamic and less predictable offense, possibly leading to a different outcome in their season standings.
