bucksavage1 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 He should have been named starter after Jimmys 3INT game vs Pittsburgh . The players probably saw that he was the best QB all offseason and the coaches held him back 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true2form Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 It's the right move, but it's also really sad that we are in the position that a 4th round QB is starting for us at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t married to Jimmy next season I saw this on overthecap.com. We have a modest deadcap penalty to move on From jimmy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Give O'Connell 3 games and he'll be worlds better than Jimmy. I doubt he'll be the answer moving forward, but after 9 games we'll know for certain either way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use O'Connell as trade bait going forward. If it goes bad, no need to trade up to get a top QB prospect. Win win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Release Jimmy with the post June 1st destination. Split that dead money over 2 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickButera Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Going into next year with a slightly developed O'Connell who shined during preseason and give him competition with a first round QB selection sounds at least...not horrible for a new coach. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Have to shoot your shot with a first round QB. No more beating around it. Trade up or suck enough to not trade up. Either way must come away with your QB of the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbsk Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Good move for interim coach Antonio Pierce, appeases the fans and buys time and I think maybe if he can get O'Connell to play well he'll look like a genius against the McDaniels coaching team. If he can turn O'Connell into a decent starter by years end then that is going to be a huge, huge feather in his cap when he puts his hand up for the real Head Coaching job. He basically has no downside really from naming AOC the starter. If he'd have named Garoppolo the starter it may have been anarchy 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich7sena Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 This is the only choice after the fallout from Monday and Tuesday nights. I expect AOC to be like Davis Mills; the guy before the guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Super stoked about this, along with everyone else of course. The last couple months being a fan was the lowest I think I have ever felt. At least now I can tune into games again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
