Gardner Minshew II

Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Gardner Minshew will start against the Broncos in Week 12.

We’re beginning to think we’ll never get to see Desmond Ridder waste the Raiders’ time. Minshew went for 282, two touchdowns, and one pick on Sunday against a Dolphins team that seemed pathologically unable to guard Brock Bowers. The Broncos will be a tougher test, one that likely will make Minshew a bottom-tier QB2 at best in most Week 12 rankings.
