In his first season with the Raiders, Garoppolo finished with a passer rating 77.7 with 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions in eight games.
After the 26-14 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Raiders made many decisions, including a change in the starting quarterback position and O’Connell took over as the starter for the remainder of the season.
O’Connell finished the season with a Pro Football Focus grade of 65.9, a pass grade of 64.6, and a run grade of 61.6. In his rookie season with the Silver and Black, O’Connell finished with a passer rating of 83.9 with 2,218 yards, 12 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 12 games.In Week 7 against the Chicago Bears, Hoyer, the backup quarterback for the Raiders, also got the opportunity to start as quarterback this season.

Hoyer completed his first campaign with the Silver and Black with a 50.8 passing rating, 231 yards, and two interceptions in seven Raiders games.
