The Las Vegas Raiders brought in Pete Carroll and Geno Smith effectively as a package deal this offseason. Raider Nation felt that these two were upgrades over Antonio Pierce and the trio of quarterbacks that they had last year, so things couldn't possibly be worse. Well, they have been.
Although they are just 2-10 for the second straight campaign, the vibe around this team is much worse than it was a year ago, and the future is somehow bleaker. To make matters worse, Carroll's blind loyalty to Smith has aggravated the fan base, and potentially the other players on the team.
