You know what, after thinking about it what Gruden and the Raiders are doing is smart.
Now before you neg me and say I'm a dumb ass, dude has 0 pressure to win soon. Most coaches have to show something by year 3 or it's so they can't afford to make any drastic moves to get young cheap players but he's got a ten year deal he isn't getting the boot anytime soon. So he bout to free up cap and get young talent (even tho he sucks at drafting) and mold it into what he wants cause he has time to.
Yet, majority of the posters in this thread blame Carr . He may not be too 5 but he’s a good qb who still has potential to do great things with a competent organizationThe no. 1 running back (Marshawn Lynch), receiver (Michael Crabtree), and tight end (Jared Cook) were all in their 30s.The only skill player of note, receiver Amari Cooper, led the league in dropped-pass percentage for the second time in three years in 2017.The interior of the offensive line was among the best in football, but the right tackle position was a mess and 35-year-old left tackle Donald Penn was willing to hold out for a new contract.The defense finished 29th in DVOA last season, was tied for the second-fewest forced turnovers, and was tied for 24th in sacks.
