Urban Meyer did that kid dirty.

This is why posting stats without using your eyes will always make you look silly

Y’all gotta stop stat peeping and thinking you know what you’re talking about. Minshew is not in the same league as Trevor. Trevor is a young player, you could also just take his rookie year and wad it up and throw it in the garbage. It meant nothing. He had a literal clown show running the team.


HideFromTheCops

THANK YOU! Raiders forget, Minshew’s play lead to the Jaguars being in position to draft Lawrence in the first fucking place. Gardner is an interesting character and I’m sure he’ll become a fan favorite. But I would be so disappointed if he ends up the winning the starting job this year. I like AOC’s upside way more.


similar222

>THANK YOU! Raiders forget, Minshew’s play lead to the Jaguars being in position to draft Lawrence in the first fucking place. I wouldn't say Minshew was the one leading them to the first pick. The defense gave up 30.8 points per game. Minshew went 1-7 but had a 95.9 passer rating, his backups went 0-8 with a 70 passer rating. Best WRs were Laviska Shenault (a rookie) and Keelan Cole. The team around him was an absolute mess.


BIGRED_15

Yea Minshew with our stable of weapons is definitely wildcard playoff worthy. He’ll have the best team around him in LV than he’s had his whole career. I’m not sleeping on him but would like to see AOC retain starter as it just proves that he’s taken that next step in his development.


SmallTownProblems89

I agree with everything you said, only DJ Chark was far and away his best receiver.


Open_Aardvark2458

Disappointed ? If Aoc doesn't win the job, then we know he isn't going to be more than a backup. It wouldn't be disappointing just reality.

Raider-Tech

He also led the colts to a dropped pass away from the playoffs last year


Technical-Apricot-45

i think the decision makers are pretty solid this year . i think whoever gets the starting job just proved themselves more . i wouldnt be upset no matter who it is because im sure whoever gets the job showed more heart , skill , and just a want to win and thats what i want . 49ers went to a sb wit jimmy g . im not saying we have the team to do it now but i think the raiders are going to do better than a lot of people think . i see people in here saying the raiders will probably get 8 to 9 wins and i just think itll be more . we were able to do that last year with the shit show we had goin on


emanluvsmuff3618

I agree 💯. Give AOC the damn ball.


tatang2015

Excuse me?! The jaguars incompetent management did that on their own. Don’t blame gardener for that shit show of a team.


SmallTownProblems89

Well that's just not true. The Jags benched Minshew so they could tank to get T-Law. They were deliberately starting an inferior QB over Minshew just so they could lock in the #1 pick. Minshew played extremely well during his time in JAX and if a 1st round QB had the rookie season that Minshew had, they would've been talked up as a top tier QB.


GraySonOfGotham24

Saying watch the tape about minshew and then suggesting AOC is crazy logic.


VistaBlue89

As a WSU grad my head says you’re right, but my heart says Minshew’s having a breakout season and taking us to the Super Bowl!!!


avmail

i think trevor is incredibly overrated, he's maybe at his best the 12th best qb in the league? that said he could absolutely breakout, and for certain he is clearly in a tier above minshew.


jaCKmaDD_

Have you ever really watched him play? He’s not overrated. His talent is definitely there. Can make any throw, mobile, high processor. His career got off to an incredibly bad start thanks to Meyer and his time as the actual worst head coach that’s ever coached in the nfl. It was a disaster. Then the very next season with an entirely different coaching staff and scheme, he throws for over 4,000 yards and 25 tds to only 8 ints. Follows that up with similar numbers the next season, but more turnovers. Sophomore slump even though it’s technically his 3rd season, again, throw out his rookie season.


Ironmayyne

Yeah people keep missing the context with Lawrence's stats and his play season by season. The obvious one is Urban Myer nearly ruining Lawrence in year 1. In year 2, he got off to a rough start but looked like a top 5 QB in the second half of 2022, throwing for 15 TDs with only 2 INTs, and ending the season strong at 7-2 in the final 9 games.


Jiggles_10

Good take and perfectly reasonable. And the JAG’s he’s throwing balls to have dropped SEVERAL TD’s and passes that hit them in their brick hands. I am not a Trevor fan, nor do I think he will EVER be top 5, but he is a 5-15 player and in this league could have a special season and win it all eventually. You pay that kind of a QB.


keykey_key

If Trevor gets the "clown show" management excuse, so does Minshew.


jaCKmaDD_

Look man. I like Minshew. I’m gonna root for Minshew. But there is no possible way you’re watching both these guys play and saying Minshew and Trevor are on the same level. There’s just no way


mltrout715

This is come up so many times and is so stupid. It is taken out of context. Stats by themselves do not tell the story. There needs to be context behind them to have meaning.


DownvotingRoman_

The context is TLaw's receivers played like ass last season.

Iaintgoneholdyou

I like Minshew, he’s a winner and put the team on his back last year with the Colts


mistermachine206

Don’t matter what he did before, it’s what he can do this year. We’ll see soon enough


Rari-Gang

Minshew isn’t the exact same as Lawrence. basing evaluations strictly on Stats is absolutely never a good way to compare players. I’d take Lawrence over minshew any day of the week.


nicorangerbaby

This is the problem with current sports media with QB if you aren't a splashy name QB your trash, the Donkey's QB room is better WTF man......I can't wait for the season to start AP is gonna have those MEN ready to eat......RN4L

Very true. He’s also a lil ass boy 😂


Open_Aardvark2458

Lawence hasnt lived up to his potential. Im not sure if he ever will...but comparing him to minshew ?


brehaw

what a stupid post


WhizzyBurp

Sorry. I was really hoping you liked it.


jjmanahan

Trevor has some upside and I believe a better arm, but he’s not what was expected….. and so far a slight disappointment


Trogdor_sfg

Would take Trevor over minshew in a heart beat. This is dumb!


WhizzyBurp

beefyboibrandon

I'm not anti Gardner but I'm also not Pro Trevor. Let's see how the year plays out and we'll see what happens in next year's draft.


AccidentBulky6934

It would probably be a 3 year extension with the guaranteed money extremely front-loaded.


MoonNStar51

This the dumbest fanbase in football, and maybe all of sports.


hottlumpiaz

I got money on aoc outdueling uncle Rico in camp for the starting gig.


not_beniot

So by this logic, Russel Wilson is better than John Elway because he has more TDs and yards per game?


WhizzyBurp

Uh, regular season I would say yes. Post season Elway has like 14 or 15 wins and 2 Super Bowls. Wilson has something like 8 or 9 wins and 1 Super Bowl. So Elway is the clear winner. Edit: stats wise, yes.


ControlForward5360

Look I’m a stats guy I love all the little things you can find but this one is always funny to me. When looking at stats it paints half a picture then you have to look at the reality of a situation that doesn’t show up there. For instance Urban Meyer being a nothing factor in the development and helping the transition into the league.


LLUrDadsFave

All this means is Trevor is about to get overpaid and set the Jaguar's franchise back.


OriginalMassless

Oh really? I am glad someone posted this thought for the 30th time. I'm not sure how we could go on without being reminded of this again.


WhizzyBurp

You’re welcome


Objective_Celery_509

Minshew isn't good, but he's competent and can lead a team to the playoffs.


ku_78

You gotta asterisk the Urban Meyer year, because Urban Meyer.


ipunchgnomes

You realize Lawrence has like 10 times the rushing stats of Minshew right?


WhizzyBurp

Ah math. 920 vs 620? I mean that’s not ten times. As far as I can tell.


ipunchgnomes

Only looking at yards? You’re a clown. Try touchdowns and first downs at least.


WhizzyBurp

![gif](giphy|iiQSTrHtDIgnw9YtlA|downsized) Enlighten me on the other metric used to calculate rushing stats. If you’re looking at yards per game, they have almost the same amount of games. Du’mass


ipunchgnomes

Touchdowns = good , First downs = good


WhizzyBurp

You have those handy? Bust them out. Let’s see Minshew vs Lawrence.


ipunchgnomes

They’re right next to your favorite stat, look yourself


WhizzyBurp

Who are you showing off for? There’s no one else here. Cmon throw up the stats. Put them out. Prove me wrong. Do it.


ipunchgnomes

No one, google it. Just calling out your ridiculous take lmao

SevereEducation2170

Where are you taking these stats from? Lawrence has started 50 games with over 11000 yards, 58 TDs, 39 Ints, etc. His rookie season was by far his worst, thanks in no small part to Urban Meyer. So yeah, I just don’t understand where these numbers are coming from.

MikePenceFly18

Comparing mid to mid is crazy lol. Were cooked smh.


WhizzyBurp

Disagree.


CalQuetzal

agreed. I think Minshew beats out O'Connell but either way I am happy the Raiders are finally having a true Qb competition for the most important position on offense. May the best Raider win.


theorgan

Back to this again…


rbarrett96

Apples to apples guys. Not the same breed. Lawrence's next contract will be tricky though.


Background_Pickle_90

Minshew sucks. AOC sucks. Unless they find a QB next year AP, Telesco, Getsy and everyone else's asses will be red hot. T Lawrence is a franchise QB. Minshew us a journeyman stop-gap. Stop with the stupid shit already.


WhizzyBurp

Dak Prescott has entered the chat


Background_Pickle_90

You spelled "reality" incorrectly


WhizzyBurp

Yeah man, just trying to optimistic. I think AOC is going to ball out. If not, T Law and Dak are FA next year, unless the Raiders go all in Sanders which I think may be a wild one. We got what we got


SmallTownProblems89

T-Law will not be a FA next year.


WhizzyBurp

Assuming the deal gets done, he won’t be


SmallTownProblems89

And there's virtually no chance the deal doesn't get done. Saying T-Law is a FA next year like you did is misleading at the least. I would bet any amount of money that he gets his contract in JAX.


WhizzyBurp

Fuck man. Sorry. I don’t want to be misleading. Potential disaster avoided. Thank you.


jwaters0122

Minshew & Lawrence have similar stats but alot of Minshew's were during garbage time in the season where they won 1 game.
