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.

    Way too early to tell what we have with AOC. If rookie Peyton Manning was starting for us right now the same people would be saying, “oh he will be a serviceable backup, blah blah blah.” Until you get solid OLine play, you never know what you have in a qb. He just got done facing 2 top defenses and 1 decent defense the past 3 weeks, missing his starting blindside tackle, and amid all the changes, has played OK. That makes me take a wait and see approach to the kid.

      This is nonsense. No one would call manning, the #1 overall pick, a backup after a couple of starts. AOC is not manning

        Just for the record, Rookie Manning had a 56% completion rate and tossed more INTs than TDs. While his team was going 3-13. He wasn’t the Hall of Famer we know him as in his first year either, and a significant portion of this sub would 100% have called him a bust.

      If you actually watched Manning’s rookie year and can’t the difference between that and AOC there’s no point having a conversation with you.
