Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith threw his 8th and 9th interceptions in a 40-6 blowout loss against the Indianapolis Colts, dropping the Raiders to 1-4 on the season. With Smith struggling and the Las Vegas offense struggling to do much of anything, Raiders fans are calling for former Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett to start.
A quick search of Pickett’s name on Twitter will bring up a horde of Raiders fans sick of watching Smith and wanting to see Pickett.
The Raiders traded for Smith this offseason and gave him a two-year, $75 million extension. But the team also traded for Pickett during the preseason after losing backup Aidan O’Connell to injury, and with Smith throwing for just 228 yards and two interceptions after a 117-yard, three-interception performance in a Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears, Raiders fans want a change.
