Best quarterbacks in Las Vegas Raiders History: 8. Jeff Hostetler

  • Overall Record with Raiders: 33-22

Career Stats with Raiders:

  • 11,122 passing yards
  • 69 touchdowns
  • 49 interceptions
  • 58.5 completion percentage
  • 82.1 passer rating

Hostetler is an easy name to forget among the better quarterbacks the Raiders have ever started. He only spent four seasons with the team, including their transition years from Los Angeles back to Oakland.

In that short time, though, Hostetler did plenty of damage quarterbacking for the Raiders.

Prior to landing with the Silver and Black, Hostetler spent seven years with the New York Giants. During that time, he was a part of two Super Bowl teams and played well when called upon, although much of his time was spent as a backup. After landing in Los Angeles, things turned around for him.

With the Raiders, Hostetler earned his first and only Pro Bowl appearance. He also put together a good campaign in 1993, including an impressive playoff win. In 1995, though, things went downhill following an injury.

Hostetler wasn’t with the team long, but he didn’t need long to make his mark. Between the stats, Pro Bowl appearance and proven ability to win, he seemed like a solid selection for the No. 8 spot.
