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.
A 4th round rookie, who didn’t get to start running with the 1st string until the start of this month, working with a rookie HC and OC, using McDummy’s 20 year old Patriot playbook. As far as I’m concerned he’s doing pretty well, all things considered. The people in the building seem to trust him, so what do a bunch of people on the internet know that they don’t.
A lot of people have 0 patience, and if they’re not a day 1 killer, they consider it a waste and are ready to move on. They want AOC to play like Stroud, who’s was selected 2nd overall, and has been playing first string since the start of the season with a playbook designed to work with him, instead of trying to cram him into a scheme. It’s nonsense.
Regardless he only has until the end of this season to earn a chance to be a starter. Otherwise this team will be looking for a rookie qb to draft
