Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff has not yet earned trust to oversee rebuild and develop a franchise QB

Do you believe the Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff can nurture a franchise quarterback and provide him with the necessary support to be a successful professional? That will be the biggest question facing franchise owner Mark Davis this offseason.

Tanking is dismissed by players and coaches because most of them do not have the job security to lose on purpose and keep their positions, which is likely true of the Raiders’ coaching staff.

At 2-6, the Raiders offence averages only 18 points per game, and the team has had clock management concerns dating back to the preseason. Three weeks into the season, following an ugly home loss to the Carolina Panthers, head coach Antonio Pierce had to call out his players, for which he later apologised.

 

We’re just halfway into the season, so there’s still time for improvement, but the Raiders’ coaching staff has some ground to make up over the next two months.

Though coaches cannot influence injuries or a top player’s change of heart with a trade request, they can improve game performance through executive decisions and play-calling.

On Wednesday, Pierce told reporters that offensive coordinator Luke Getsy will continue to call plays, and he “recognises” the need for improvement. Thank god Getsy had an epiphany halfway through the season.
