It's a time of great change for the Las Vegas Raiders. Owner Mark Davis fired head coach Josh McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler on Tuesday night, and now their quarterback has also lost his job.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Raiders have elected to bench current starter Jimmy Garoppolo and instead will start rookie QB Aidan O'Connell against the New York Giants.It has not been a good season for Garoppolo. It began with him signing a three-year, $67.5 million contract with the Raiders in March, and that could end up being the professional high point of 2023.
after Garoppolo missed him on a throw that would have ended up as a touchdown during the Raiders' punchless 26-14 loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday night. Adams wouldn't speak to the media after the game in fear of what he might say. O'Connell comes with none of that baggage. The 25-year-old was drafted by the Raiders in the fourth round in back in April after spending four years with Purdue, and has made just one NFL start this season: Oct. 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers, a 24-17 loss.
There has reportedly been disagreement within the coaching staff about preferred starters in recent weeks.
That backfired spectacularly for McDaniels. Hoyer got benched after throwing the second of two interceptions. O'Connell came in to replace him, and promptly engineered an eight-play, 60-yard drive to score a garbage time touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Raiders lost 30-12 to the Bears.
