Raiders Fans React to QB Situation

As one commenter put it:

"This years QB class is week.... Next years will be much better.... Raiders should build the team, and use a bridge QB like [Aaron] Rodger's or [Russell] Wilson until they can go all in on Arch Manning."

Another wrote, "I'm not bugged, We fixed the Center, [right tackle] and [tight end] positions las year in one draft. If we could score [Boise state running back Ashton Jeanty], [Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin] and [a guard] this year (2 picks - 1 FA) then even a mid round rookie will do ok, [Aidan O'Connell] may do ok, if not then QB is the final piece next year."

One fan wrote that the entire situation was a "mess."

"AOC is inconsistent and [Gardner] Minshew nor [Desmond] Ridder are the answer," the comment read. "Signing Aaron Rodgers is a trap. At [age] 41, he's on the decline and is a one-year fix at best. We need young QB to build around, not a pricey rental who won't outlast Pete Carroll's coffee buzz."

A fair amount in the thread called for the former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback to join Las Vegas as a bridge signal caller, nonetheless.

The Raiders might be weary about risking a first-round draft choice on a quarterback with strong red flags, such as Colorado's Shedeur Sanders. Ole Miss signal caller Jaxson Dart, a riser on most boards, is still a questionable pick that early (No. 6 overall).

A route the Raiders might consider taking is signing a cheap bridge, drafting a quarterback at a reasonable position in the draft to develop, and use their No. 6 picks and others to continue to build a strong foundation.
