I don’t get the AOC hate. I mean I understand minor frustrations with him but I feel like a lot of people want to trash him so quick. Like let the dude cook and I think we could have a solid qb. I think with AP and Hardegree he could really fine tune and tweak his few flaws. I think he could be the real deal just get him a solid backup but I think a lot of us fans are sleeping on my boy. He’s been holding his own, especially with so much change during his rookie year. End rant. Stop the raider hate.
In his 4 starts he has
a 60% completion rating, 2 TD’s, 5 INTs, 4 fumbles, a QB rating of 71.8 and averages 218 yards a game for a y/a of 6.1.
Those numbers are basically identical to Zach Wilson and Bryce Young through their first 4 games
Now hopefully he can improve but there really isn’t much that he’s giving us to be hopeful about. He doesn’t flash elite athletic traits, he isn’t processing the game at a high level, he’s 25, the only thing he has going for him over someone like Jimmy G is he can throw further, but he still doesn’t have elite arm strength or accuracy.
Yes he has excuses thanks to whatever the hell Josh McDaniels was doing but 1 TD a game simply isn’t going to cut it in the NFL.
This was a winnable game that we could have skated with if he was able to put together more than one TD drive or hell just kept the FG’s coming.
I think it’s obvious we’re rolling with him for the rest of the year but he’s got a hell of a leap to make.
