Gardner Minshew will be the Las Vegas Raiders' starting quarterback going into the season, coach Antonio Pierce said Sunday.
HENDERSON, Nev. — Gardner Minshew made a name for himself as a quarterback who can provide a spark off the bench. Now he will get the chance to start for the Raiders when they open their season next month.“Certainly, some of what he showed in practice showed up in the games,” Pierce said. “A lot of stuff we can get better at.
Neither quarterback separated himself, which Pierce acknowledged after Saturday night's 27-12 preseason loss to Dallas. Minshew completed 10 of 21 passes for 95 yards against the Cowboys and O'Connell was 14 of 20 for 96 yards with a touchdown and an interception that was returned for a TD.
