As of April 22, the post had more than 83,000 views. Raider Posts, which also sells merchandise, also appears to have altered images of Crosby wearing a shirt with a self-aggrandizing phrase and Tom Brady in a black hoodie and Raiders ball cap.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Gardner Minshew Excited to Work With Antonio Pierce<\/h2>\n<p>The Raiders moved on from\u00a0Jimmy Garoppolo\u00a0and\u00a0Brian Hoyer\u00a0this offseason and the only quarterback they added was Gardner Minshew. He\u2019ll compete for the starting quarterback job. Minshew has bounced around the NFL in his career but is hoping Las Vegas can be a long-term home.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s excited about joining the team and working with head coach Antonio Pierce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything I\u2019ve heard is incredible,\u201d Minshew said of Pierce on the\u00a0April 19 episode\u00a0of \u201cThe Rush.\u201d \u201cCouldn\u2019t get better reviews; it doesn\u2019t even sound real. Being around him a little bit seems legit, which is really exciting. Just being around the guys in the building, everybody is on the same page. Everybody just wants to get better; everybody wants to win. I think when you do that, I think you have a chance. No matter what you have going on, no matter who\u2019s on the roster, if everybody\u2019s pulling in the same direction, you have a good chance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Raiders went 8-9 last season but were held back by inconsistent quarterback play. Minshew has started 37 games over his career and should be a high-level backup or a solid stopgap starter.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Gardner Minshew Reveals 1st Interaction With Antonio Pierce<\/h2>\n<p>Antonio Pierce\u00a0has already had a major effect on the Raiders\u2019 culture. It\u2019s something that Gardner Minshew noticed immediately when he met the coach. He described the experience of meeting Pierce for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was in the building,\u201d Minshew said. \u201cSaw him out on the field, classic bro hug, fired up, we were both bouncing a little bit. You feel the energy, man. Really excited to get after it with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pierce is a player-friendly coach and new players are quickly learning that. There\u2019s a reason many Raiders players\u00a0vouched for him\u00a0after the season. The coach\u2019s energy was contagious through the 2023 season and it\u2019ll be interesting to see if he can keep that up now that he\u2019s the full-time head coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders QB Gardner Minshew.
