DONE DEAL: Raiders appreciate Antonio Pierce for his good Offensive Coaching.
An Informing Remark About Draft Plans from Raiders OC.
The Las Vegas Raiders have a new coaching staff, led by offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and new permanent head coach Antonio Pierce, following relatively poor seasons in 2022 and 2023.
Their offense is loaded with potential, led by Davante Adams, a standout wide receiver, and Jakobi Meyers, a reliable wide receiver, but they lack a quarterback because Jimmy Garoppolo, a seasoned veteran, hasn’t performed well this year.
According to ProFootballTalk, Getsy believes there is intrigue in this year’s QB crop, even though the Raiders won’t be able to select a player like Caleb Williams or Jayden Daniels with their No. 13 pick in the draft in April.
Getsy stated, “It’s definitely an impressive one.” “There are numerous variations in flavors. I’m going to love getting stuck into it. I believe this is a fairly cool year, but I’m not yet at the place where I can evaluate each man. I’m just watching from a distance during the college football season.
After Brock Purdy emerged and the San Francisco 49ers cut Garoppolo, the team signed him in the summer with the expectation that his game management skills and experience would help Las Vegas make it back to the postseason.
Rather, he struggled with injuries and, in seven games, completed just 1,205 yards of passing with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions before being benched.
Under center, rookie Aidan O’Connell took his place, although O’Connell wasn’t much better, throwing for 2,218 yards and 12 touchdowns in 11 games with an 83.9 passer rating.
This summer, there may be some interesting quarterbacks available, such as four-time Pro Bowler Kirk Cousins and nine-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson, who ten years ago guided the Seattle Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory.
The Raiders should have plenty of alternatives when it comes to their next quarterback, since Wilson is anticipated to be released by the Denver Broncos after they failed to make the playoffs in both of his seasons with them.
