Bombshell QB benching just brought Raiders’ dream coach one step closer

The Las Vegas Raiders will need wholesale changes once again after the 2025 NFL season. Patience is a virtue, but owner Mark Davis needs to recognize that he is dealing with a 74-year-old retread head coach and a 35-year-old quarterback who has been a starter as often as a backup in his career.

With young players and coaches, an owner needs to give them time to grow and develop. But that is not the situation in Las Vegas. These two were brought in, essentially as a package deal, to turn things around immediately for the Raiders. They at least needed to take a step in the right direction.
