After trading for Geno Smith this offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders thankfully brought the era of Aidan O'Connell starting to an end. However, with O'Connell still on the roster as Smith’s primary backup, he’s essentially one play way from being back under center.
While Raider Nation does not want to see that because it would mean Geno Smith is hurt, fans also don’t want to see it because there isn’t a lot of confidence in O'Connell‘s ability to lead the team to wins.
The Raiders have done a great job of upgrading several positions this offseason, but most fans would agree that they need to upgrade the backup quarterback position before the 2025 NFL season starts.
