The Las Vegas Raiders finished last season on an “up” note, but still have plenty of miles to drive on the road to a division championship.
Head Coach Antonio Pierce appears to have cemented himself as one of the most promising young coaches in the NFL, but now the Raiders need improved quarterback play to help improve their results. Recently, Pierce cleared the air on the situation ahead of the fall exhibition season.
Pierce's comments on the QB race were shared as the player with Las Vegas player under the most pressure was revealed. Meanwhile, Raiders fans were called out by a division rival over their ‘Kermit the Frog' troll job.
Will the Raiders get the type of quarterback play they need, befitting of a team on the upswing? Pierce's comments on the matter are quite telling.
Pierce to Raiders QBs: “Stop with the baby steps”
Pierce is waiting for Minshew and/or O'Connell to improve by leaps and bounds before it's too late.
“What I see is two guys competing. I told them it's time to make that leap,” Pierce said according to the Raiders' website.
“Stop with the baby steps, somebody grab the bull by the horns and be the guy. and they're trying to do that.
“The competition is high…I think the key part about it is, regardless of who's in, the offense is trying to be as efficient and as effective as possible. So, you've got the offensive line in there with those guys and you're trying to build that continuity with our wide receivers, and I think both quarterbacks are doing it.”
