The Raiders have officially named Gardner Minshew as their starting quarterback for Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins. This decision follows a bye week during which the team made significant changes to their coaching staff, firing the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, and offensive line coach. However, one thing that remains unchanged is the starting quarterback position, with the team sticking with Minshew.
Fans have taken to social media to voice their reactions, and the sentiment has been overwhelmingly critical. One fan questioned, “How is there not a better option?” while another quipped, “We get this alert four times a year.” Comparisons were even drawn to last season’s Denver Broncos, with one fan predicting, “The Dolphins are about to have another 70-point game.” Another speculated, “He’s just going to get benched mid-game again.”
The majority of responses to the NFL’s announcement reflect confusion and frustration with the decision. At 2-7, the Raiders are looking to turn their season around, but this move suggests that Desmond Ridder isn’t ready to take over. Many fans seem to share this perspective, as echoed by the sentiment, “How is there not a better option?”
Now, the Raiders and Minshew face a tough challenge against the 3-6 Dolphins in Miami. The Dolphins are on an upward trajectory after defeating the Los Angeles Rams, which doesn’t bode well for a struggling Raiders team trying to find offensive consistency.
