The Las Vegas Raiders handed quarterback Gardner Minshew a sizeable contract earlier this offseason. Will he be worth the money?
The Las Vegas Raiders hit the road late last season to face Gardner Minshew II and the Indianapolis Colts.
The victory over the Chiefs should have given the Raiders the confidence to beat the Colts the next week and potentially back into the playoffs with a Wild Card berth. However, that would not happen as the Raiders would fall to the Minshew and the Colts the next week, ending their playoff hopes. The game against the Colts would do more than end the Raiders’ playoff hopes. It gave the Raiders an up-close look at Minshew and what he could do when called upon to start.
While Minshew and O’Connell will compete for the starting position, O’Connell has a slight edge over the veteran. This would leave Minshew in a similar situation as the one he was in while with the Colts, a situation he proved well equipped for. General Manager Tom Telesco signed Minshew to a two-year, $25 million deal earlier this offseason, giving the Raiders a legitimate second option at the quarterback position as they prepare for the upcoming season. While some do not believe Minshew will live up to the contract, a few things must be kept in mind.
