Jimmy Garoppolos future with the Raiders is in jeopardy as the QB faces a possible cut like Josh

The Las Vegas Raiders started the season with Josh McDaniels as their head coach and Jimmy Garoppolo as the team’s starting quarterback. Fast forward to week 10 and McDaniels is out of Las Vegas and Garoppolo is on the bench. LB Antonio Pierce has replaced McDaniels as the team’s interim coach, whereas rookie QB Aidan O’Connell is the team’s starter going forward.

McDaniels and Garoppolo developed a nice friendship during their time together in New England. Once McDaniels found himself in Las Vegas, he traded for Garoppolo the first chance he got. However, their season started in disappointing fashion as Garoppolo threw more interceptions than touchdowns during the first few weeks of the season. Now with McDaniels gone and O’Connell taking over at QB, Garoppolo’s days in Las Vegas might be numbered.

ESPN‘s Paul Gutierrez believes that Garoppolo’s time in Vegas might be over sooner rather than later. Gutierrez wrote when asked how likely it would be for the Raiders to move on from Garoppolo this offseason:

How about … very? Benching Garoppolo as part of the reset that saw coach Josh McDaniels, general manager Dave Ziegler and offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi all get fired does not bode well for the QB’s future in Las Vegas.

Former Las Vegas Raiders GM Dave Ziegler tried to talk HC Josh McDaniels out of signing QB Jimmy Garoppolo to a three-year, $72 million deal, per @SInow

The Raiders won their game post-McDaniels era last Sunday against the New York Giants. They will play their next game against the New York Jets on Sunday night. Garoppolo will have to wait his turn as the Raiders seem to have made their decision on the team’s quarterback going forward.

Antonio Pierce praises Jimmy Garoppolo and his way of handling being benched

The Las Vegas Raiders have made their decision on the QB position going forward. Jimmy Garoppolo will no longer be the team’s starter as the Raiders are moving ahead with rookie QB Aidan O’Connell. Raiders interim head coach Antonio Pierce praised Jimmy Garoppolo for handling the situation with professionalism.

Pierce said:

I’m very appreciative to Jimmy. Since Jimmy has been here, he’s done nothing but become a pro and really taught our team to be a pro and also how to win, and when I say win, I’m not talking about on the grass always. I’m talking about in the meeting rooms, how to carry yourself, how to talk, how to handle adverse situations, and that’s what I’m proud of.

The Raiders played their first game post the Garoppolo and McDaniels era against the New York Giants last Sunday. They won in convincing fashion as the Raiders dominated the Giants en route to a 30-6 victory. They will hope to build on this victory in the second half of the season.
