Wednesday was a big day for hot mics in the wild world of sports, and the Raiders capitalized on their own opportunity at the start of their live press conference today.
It sounded like a pair media members covering the team, but whoever was speaking near a microphone at the start of the Raiders’ live stream didn’t feel good about the team’s quarterback situation this week against the Baltimore Ravens.
“Unless Gardner [Minshew] really kicks a–, I think he’s going to get his a– kicked by Baltimore,” a voice can be heard saying.
“I’m not a fan. Not a fan,” another voice added and followed up by asking, “Did you see what Derek Carr did the other day? Holy crap. I did not… [intelligible] Carr at all.”
The voices didn’t sound like any of the notable media members covering the Raiders, but it shouldn’t take a lot of investigating to figure out who it was…
Not that it really matters.
Bulletin board material can be a good source of motivation leading up to a game, but it’s not often that the source comes from your own media gaggle.
Given his good nature and quick wit, it would be nice to see someone give Gardner Minshew an opportunity to respond.
Throw up that alley-oop, beat writers.

Over it! Good luck this year, I’m done!
Who cares those losers probably couldn’t even run 10 feet
I m glad he heard everything because that my lighted up Minshew 11 up. Because he played like a high school Qb with 1st opening game, boy he got over the Raiders on The $50 million Dollars Qb. he ain’t worth no $25 mil a year. But AP and Teslaeco are to Blamed for this transaction, What does AP got to lose of they lose the next three games with both Qbs why doesn’t he bring in Carter Bradley the Rookie just in case AOC and Minshew can’t get the job done, he’s got nothing to lose but his Job and you all know The Raiders Fans Base can be really hateful n pissed off at anyone who fails losing 2nd and 3rd game of the Season,
Raiders reporters are horrible and dysfunctional just like minshew..
Fans knew this QB was worthless,they could have signed Sam darnold or Baker Mayfield but are left with this..They should have started Aidan,let him adapt to Getsys offense.. Should have played Aidan more during preseason..AP will be fired if things don’t change immediately.
The real problem is Mark Davis
He’s just a horrible inept owner
Why is this news? Everyone thinks the same thing because it’s a proven thing. G. Minshew shouldn’t be a starting NFL QB and Derek Carr is more than a serviceable QB. I’d go as far to say if him and Jimmy G had swapped draft positions Carr would’ve got a ring in SF and Jimmy would’ve been out of the league in three years.
