T. J. Houshmandzadeh Told Raiders to Draft Award-Winning QB
The Raiders never even got a chance to add Penix so it remains to be seen if the plan was to draft him. Houshmandzadeh likely has Pierce’s ear so it’s something the coach might have been interested in but general manager Tom Telesco seemed more concerned with taking the best player available, which is why he took tight end Brock Bowers.
Can Las Vegas Raiders Make Playoffs With Current QBs?
The Raiders went 8-9 last season with a coaching change in the middle of the year and three different starting quarterbacks. Minshew and O’Connell in his second year will be better than what the team had last offseason.
That’s not to mention major additions to the roster like defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and Bowers. It’s hard to see the Raiders competing for a Super Bowl without an elite quarterback but they should be in the mix for the playoffs if Pierce is the right head coach.
The roster does have talent at a lot of key positions. If Minshew can just be a bit of an upgrade over what the team had last season, this team is capable of winning 10 games. It’ll just be difficult to win more than that until they upgrade at quarterback.
