The Las Vegas Raiders are making waves after their bye week, announcing a significant overhaul of their coaching staff. The team parted ways with three offensive staff members, including offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, and named Scott Turner as the Interim OC, while bringing in his father, legendary coach Norv Turner, as an advisor. Yet, one area the Raiders left untouched is their quarterback position. Despite Gardner Minshew being benched three times in the first nine games, head coach Antonio Pierce confirmed they’ll stick with him—though his announcement left fans questioning the strategy.
Minshew, now seen as a placeholder, has stirred up fan theories suggesting the Raiders might be leaning into a rebuilding strategy. Fans argue that Minshew might be more suited for a “tanking” season than Desmond Ridder, who was brought in late October but has struggled to secure the job outright. The sentiment? Neither Minshew nor Ridder seems to be Las Vegas’s long-term solution.
With the Raiders likely looking for a franchise quarterback in the draft or free agency, fans believe the remaining games could serve as a final evaluation: which of these journeymen could earn a backup spot next season? The stakes are high, and every snap could shape the future roster for Las Vegas.
