Best quarterbacks in Las Vegas Raiders History: 11. Jay Schroeder

  • Overall Record with Raiders: 32-25

Career Stats with Raiders:

  • 10,276 passing yards
  • 66 touchdowns
  • 62 interceptions
  • 50.1 completion percentage
  • 71.8 passer rating

After a three-year stint with the Washington Redskins, Schroeder enjoyed five seasons as the Raiders’ primary starting quarterback. While he was never a star by any means, he did his fair share to stand out while under center.

Schroeder put together a couple of strong seasons in Los Angeles, including a 12-win campaign in 1990 that ended in a crushing defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship. While most remember that game for the five interceptions Schroeder threw, the Raiders wouldn’t have been there if it wasn’t for his impressive regular-season performance.

He followed that year up with another strong showing, but could never rediscover the skills he displayed throughout the 1990 season. By 1992, the Raiders had moved on to Jeff Hostetler as their starting quarterback.

While never an excellent arm by any means, Schroeder led the Raiders to a couple of quality seasons and a trip to the AFC title game. As embarrassing as a 51-3 loss on the cusp of a Super Bowl is, it still earns you some credit in my book.
