The Las Vegas Raiders are certainly one of 4 groups that may declare the mantle of “worst staff within the NFL.” Ending the season with a 3-14 document and a 2-7 residence document, the Raiders did not put collectively a aggressive staff below former head coach Pete Carroll.
Numerous the blame for the Raiders’ failure was wrongfully assessed on their first-round choose (sixth general) working again Ashton Jeanty. Basic supervisor John Spytek defended his star working again, noting “10 different folks which are on the market with him.”
Jeanty had a stable season regardless of what his critics would have folks consider, dashing for 975 yards (led all rookies) and posting a complete of 1,321 scrimmage yards, which broke Josh Jacobs’ staff document of 1,316. Jeanty additionally had 10 whole touchdowns (5 dashing and 5 receiving), which is 4 wanting former Raiders working again Marcus Allen, who had 14 as a rookie in 1982.
The Raiders’ drawback isn’t Ashton Jeanty, however possession and never having a franchise quarterback
Jeanty getting blamed for the way poorly the Raiders performed is an insane criticism. The true drawback for the Raiders through the years has been possession and a scarcity of a franchise quarterback they’ll construct round. Since 2021, the Raiders have had 4 completely different head coaches, all of whom at one level or one other clashed with proprietor Mark Davis.
- Wealthy Bisaccia: 2021, 7-5 document
- Josh McDaniels: 2022-23, 9-16 document
- Antonio Pierce: 2023-24, 9-17
- Pete Carroll: 3-14
Geno Smith — 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns and an AFC-most 17 interceptions — was not ok in 2025. The Raiders want to handle crucial place within the sport, whether or not with a longtime veteran and/or a rookie. With the primary general choose, they’re going to have their selection of the highest QB prospects within the 2026 class.
Until possession decides to cease meddling in soccer operations and let Spytek do his job — whereas additionally retaining a head coach for greater than a season — the Raiders won’t ever get again to the successful group they as soon as had been.
