  • I have enjoyed your Raider content, Hondo. Here is a pro tip though.... Don't use the word nation after any team but the Raiders. One Nation is a real thing. Take care and thanks for the content.
  • @valinormons
    Good job backing O'Connell up Hondo. You really put this guy in his place! 😼
  • @1R8Rnatn
    I agree Hondo. The disrespect of this kid goes beyond just his ability or whatever things are being said about him negatively. Raider Nation, sure as shit, didn’t forget his name on Christmas Day now did they? He didn’t throw a pass for the last three quarters of the game and still beat Mahomes. He’s extremely intelligent and his football IQ is off the charts. He plays within himself and he plays smart football. Sure, a few rookie mistakes after getting thrown into the fire by JM who was obviously trying to ruin this kids career by not preparing him the way he should have. The way JM handled AC4 was unforgivable and fortunate for AC4 AP believed in him and is giving him a shot by calling him the starter. That’s what you do to build up a players confidence. AP is now restoring that damage and then the kid comes out and wins 5 games for us. If anybody saw the preseason game where he played like sizzled veteran I’m telling you he looked like Dan Marino throwing darts out there! This kid has flashed on several different occasions and every time he steps on the field he looks to get better each time. This kid is the underdog here just like he was at Perdue until he was finally given his chance after like 7 other QBs before finally getting his chance and look what he did there? I for one am all in on Aiden O, Connel and wouldn’t it be something after all this smoke and fire clear out if he’s the last one standing and was all along the Franchise QB everyone overlooked…..

    Totally agree. Give AOC with a new, better playbook and an entire offseason to work with the first team coupled with a better play caller and you will see success and wins.
  • @g-rocc3621
    I'm 56 years old and I have been a Die Hard Raider fan since Ken Stabler and John Madden was the coach and I have to agree with Hondo AOC is a walk-on in college and had to fight like a true Raider to earn his respect take that innocent look he has and put that helmet on and watch what Hondo is talking about
  • @dwayneo4284
    Finally, someone is talking sense. Good stuff Hondo. Some of AOC’s throws were elite. We have a gun slinger.
  • @Jgroovin1
    Aidan O'Connell actually won the job out of training camp last year. McDaniel just didn't give it to him. He was the top passer in the preseason. DeVante Adams said O'Connell came in from the jump and established himself and opened everyone's eyes! Minshew and anybody else they bring in will have a hard time beating him out. Facts 💯
  • @mikesauce717
    The real problem is nobody wants to admit Aiden already won the qb spot once...shoukd of been opening day starter last year...
  • @RN4L13
    AOC is my QB! ☠️RN4L☠️
  • @elkulkel6096
    He ain't scared, hope the work he's putting in makes him better.
  • @jynx5592
    Rooting for AOC. I believe he will be the starter week 1. 👀
  • @bothompson-ov6ju
    Man we have 2 quarterbacks that could be starters I'm happy with our situation let this kid develop he only going to get better
  • Hondo, despite your tendency to repeat or go off on tangents at times, you’re head and shoulders above the rest of the so-called Raider content crowd on You Tube. Keep it up!
  • @johnhays3073
    Loving this Praying Always GO Raiders and Thank you I believe Raiders
  • @Alan-gn3gx
    Ive been a RAIDERS fan since 1967 waatched them win 3 Super Bowls. Im 62 years old . Maybe ill get to see 3 more .
  • @cip7068
    Never for 1 second do I believe AOC4 is being replaced. Great point about AOC4 being the second best rookie QB.
