The Las Vegas Raiders made it clear with their performance in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts that they would not amount to much during the 2025 NFL season. Geno Smith's turnover and sack-prone play had been the biggest contributor to the team's 1-4 start and three blowout losses.
Raider Nation has been starved for a star player under center since Rich Gannon's MVP season in 2002. Most of the fan base felt that Smith would be the best quarterback the franchise has had since Gannon's heyday, but after just five weeks, they're calling for him to be benched.
