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.
I think context is important when discussing AOC.
He was drafted at the end of the 4th round, and was never meant to be a franchise QB for us or any other team.
We completely shit the bed in the beginning of our season, and so they could afford to give him the rest of the season to ‘show off’ and earn his spot. AP gave him a blank check, as he does with all of his players, and told him to write his own way. If he doesn’t, that’s completely on him.
However, again since he’s a 4th rounder, he would need to light the world on fire in order to earn the starting position and he certainly hasn’t done that so far.
He has been ‘fine,’ which again is not good enough to win a spot as a 4th round QB.
I don’t mind them giving him the entire rest of the season to figure it out, but unless he is actively winning games for us, we need to take a QB with our 1st pick next year.
