The Las Vegas Raiders have their starting back for now and this will only be the second time in his career that Gardner Minshew has been a Week 1 starter. It was a tight battle with Aidan O'Connell but experience won out in the end.

Minshew is now the man in charge and controls his own destiny. He's thrilled about the opportunity.

“Couldn’t be more excited. Everyone in this locker room feels how special we can be," Minshew said during his Tuesday press conference. "My role in this offense is to make good decisions — we have guys that are going to get open. I just have to get them the ball and play point guard.”

While Minshew is now the starter, he didn't win the battle due to his excellent play. He's struggled to be consistent throughout much of training camp and the preseason. He understands that he needs to improve his play if the team is going to win games.

I hope he does well there in LV except when we play them in December.

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."
