Aidan is what he is. Nothing spectacular but also not the steaming pile of excrement that Smith has become. He has had some quality starts and has a career passer rating of 85.1. He will never put it together for a complete season but is ok out of the pen.

Want to be reminded of a train wreck? Watch Kyle Boller's week 7 effort against Kansas City in 2011.

But I think you're kinda proving part of my point that bc he plays for us, you don't think he is a steaming pile of shit. It's like a mirage.

Personally I think he is exactly that. A steaming pile of shit that isn't worth a roster spot.

I think the fact that Smith keeps getting the ball is less of an indictment on Aidan's ability rather Pete trying to stay the course with the veteran QB.

Not debating that Aidan is not a quality NFL starter but he fills a role. My opinion.

He is and you are correct. My bad. Pretty pathetic that I have more or less checked out.

It's all good man. We can agree to disagree on Aidan. I respect your opinion. :beer:

He did have a good game vs the Chiefs, in KC. He’s the better option right now, and that’s scary.

His recovery is just about over. It's been 2 months since the injury.

Right. But if you were following our discussion, Aidan hasn't been a consideration to take over for Geno bc he's been hurt. The OP was not aware of that.

But then went 11-19 104 yards 1 INT the next week vs Tampa Bay. He can give them moments of success, but he cannot do it consistently enough. He needs to be the stopgap the rest of the season, wen he comes off IR.

Then later vs the Saints, he went 20-35 242 yards 2 TD 0 INT. He’s a rollercoaster at QB.

Game of his life. Unfortunately, he fumbled at the end of the game when we were setting up for a game winning FG. Good numbers, but ended up blowing the game.

It looked to me like JPJ snapped the football before he was expecting it. But who knows what really happened? Did AOC forget the snap count? Or was it JPJ? Either way, it’s the Raiders doing (typical) Raiders things.
