Several QB competitions going on in NFL training camps, including Raiders battle, Steelers rivalry

COSTA MESA, Calif. — Aidan O’Connell at Purdue and Gardner Minshew at Washington State were used to fighting for their jobs, and little has changed in the NFL. It’s just good to be back out here again with the guys, putting the helmet on and really getting to work today.” Patriots First-year Patriots coach Jerod Mayo is keeping an open mind regarding his QB situation as New England still searches for a replacement for Tom Brady. The Vikings’ ideal scenario is Darnold plays well enough to be the starter all season, taking advantage of an offense led by wide receiver Justin Jefferson and running back Aaron Jones. “Both guys have done a lot of really, really good things and some more notable visually than others,” Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell said. “I also think both guys have made some mistakes with the football, learning mistakes where they’re trying to either see if they can squeeze a ball in over the middle before the safety can step in front or maybe not taking a chance down the field in a one-on-one where maybe that’s our best option.” Raiders Pierce said he not only plans to play O’Connell and Minshew in preseason games to help determine the starter, but will make sure both quarterbacks have the first-team offense to work with for a more accurate evaluation.
