The Las Vegas Raiders have the closest quarterback competition during the preseason. Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew both played well in the first preseason game. Antonio Pierce announced that he should have a decision on the starter after the game vs. The Dallas Cowboys.
On the field, we saw two different styles regarding quarterback play. O’Connell was willing to go through his reads while Minshew used his instincts to make plays. It creates a dynamic that could make it a tough decision for Pierce.
When it comes to the stats O’Connell was steady going 7 for 9 with 76 yards passing.
