The Las Vegas Raiders are set to play their first game this weekend under interim offensive coordinator Scott Turner. Turner stepped into the role after Luke Getsy was dismissed during the bye week.
While addressing the media, Turner shared his plans for the offense, but his comments were met with skepticism from fans. He mentioned that adjustments would be made to the offensive scheme and emphasized the importance of players trusting the play calls moving forward. Fans expressed skepticism about Turner’s comments, largely due to the team’s disappointing 2-7 record and their current position in the top five of the draft order. With the Raiders’ offensive struggles, it’s evident that drafting a strong quarterback will be a priority for next season. However, if the offense shows significant improvement under Turner, it could impact the team’s draft position. One fan voiced concern, saying, “Don’t tweak anything where we win 3-4 more games. Just please don’t mess up the draft positioning anymore.
“Let’s not make too many changes. We don’t want to end up with Joe Flacco next year. Winning meaningless games isn’t the goal,” one fan commented. Another added, “God help us if he had said he wasn’t tweaking the offense.”

The Raiders are projected to target quarterbacks like Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 draft, making it more beneficial for the team to avoid unnecessary wins given their slim playoff hopes. With Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell currently leading the quarterback options, selecting a franchise quarterback should remain a top priority for Las Vegas.
Fans are clearly more focused on the long-term outlook rather than short-term results, highlighting the tension between developing a winning culture and securing a top draft pick. Turner’s ability to balance improving the offense without jeopardizing draft positioning will be closely scrutinized as the season progresses.
