### Antonio Pierce Confirms Gardner Minshew Remains Raiders' Starting Quarterback

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce has put an end to any speculation about a quarterback controversy, affirming that Gardner Minshew will continue to lead the team. Despite Minshew being replaced by Aidan O'Connell late in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Pierce confirmed today that Minshew remains the starting quarterback.

The late substitution in Sunday’s game, which ended in a loss to the Panthers, saw O'Connell orchestrate an impressive touchdown drive. This led to questions regarding the potential shift in the starting quarterback role. Pierce previously stated he would review all aspects and consider making changes, adding fuel to the speculation.

However, with more time to evaluate the situation, Pierce has decided to stick with Minshew. "There's no issue. Gardner Minshew is the quarterback," Pierce declared emphatically. Minshew will be the starting quarterback on Sunday against the Browns and continue in the role moving forward.

Pierce's decision aims to provide stability for the team as they prepare for upcoming games. Despite the pressure and scrutiny that comes with NFL coaching, Pierce appears confident in Minshew's abilities to lead the Raiders.
