<\/p>\n
It’s Jimmy Garoppolo<\/strong>‘s birthday, and as a present, the Las Vegas Raiders sent him well wishes on social media … something fans are absolutely roasting the team for — ’cause they just benched the QB hours prior!<\/p>\n Las Vegas moved on from the signal caller on Wednesday, opting to go with fourth-round pick Aidan O’Connell<\/strong> moving forward.<\/p>\n But, in an apparent effort to extend an olive branch to the now 32-year-old quarterback … the team gave him a shout-out on its X page on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n “Join us in wishing Jimmy Garoppolo Happy Birthday!” the Raiders wrote. “#RaiderNation.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of course, many in Black and Silver found the gesture cruel since the team had just moved on from the QB … and his head coach<\/strong>, Josh McDaniels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “Y’all messed up for this \ud83d\ude02,” one fan said. “He gets benched then y’all wish him happy birthday \ud83d\ude02 he’s probably like ‘don\u2019t wish me s***!!'”<\/p>\n Another Raiders supporter commented, “Benched em then telling us to wish em a happy bday? Cold game \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02.”<\/p>\n However, some took the opportunity to dance on Jimmy G’s grave … after he didn’t do much to help the 3-5 team this season.<\/p>\n “Happy Bench Day, I mean birthday \ud83c\udf82 \ud83d\ude02,” one fan commented.<\/p>\n Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time an NFL star has been benched on their cake day … it happened to Andy Dalton<\/strong> when he was with the Bengals as well.<\/p>\n Tough birthday for sure … but, hey, Garoppolo just signed a three-year, $72.5 million deal with the Raiders this offseason, so we’re sure he ain’t have that<\/em> rough of a day.<\/p>\n
