Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell are nice guys. But the Raiders need to do whatever it takes to improve at quarterback next year.

The Raiders didn’t do anything well after going up 10-0 in Denver on Sunday. They deserve criticism across the board for their loss.
One loss doesn’t define a season, and UNLV still has everything to play for following an overtime setback to Syracuse on Friday at Allegiant Stadium.
The Raiders used a little imagination in their win over the Browns last week. They’ll need a lot more of it without star wide receiver Davante Adams.
Raiders rookie Jackson Powers-Johnson has lived an interesting life. He finished third in a state tango competition and had a burger named after him in college.
Texas-El Paso, the seventh full-time member of the Mountain West, checks the significant boxes needed to be a good partner for the conference.
Davante Adams asked for a trade and will get one. But why didn’t the Raiders trade their star wide receiver some time ago and adopt a total rebuild mentality?
The Raiders are 2-2 after the first quarter of the season, having reached that record in an unconventional manner Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.
An inspired defensive effort and another solid day from punter AJ Cole helped the Raiders defeat the Browns at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday.
With the Matthew Sluka saga behind it, the UNLV football team turned to Hajj-Malik Williams to lead their offense against Fresno State, and he was terrific.
The former Bishop Gorman star who pleaded guilty to a felony charge of reckless driving resulting in death or substantial bodily harm, will play for Fresno State.
The Raiders have run for just 153 yards through three games. They can’t keep forcing the ground game if it isn’t going to lead to results.
Raiders safety Isaiah Pola-Mao is so excited to make his first start of the season Sunday against the Browns he said he’s had trouble sleeping.
After 57 years, the Oakland Athletics played their final game at the Coliseum on Thursday before heading to Sacramento for three years and then to Las Vegas.
The departure of UNLV quarterback Matthew Sluka is the latest example that this is no longer about education or representing a university and your fellow students.
