The only pause for Raiders fans is the same group that decided Kelly and PC and Geno were setting themselves up for success 365 days(or less) ago, are making the same decisions now.
PC had a dynamic duo with Schneider with both of them making the personnel calls, and the Seahawks had Charlie Whitehurst as QB when he started. Besides being 15 years younger, he also had an owner who wasn’t going to meddle. So, him brought in to the Raiders, not quite sure the plan. Geno was good three years ago, but as he aged he thought he had it all figured out.
With a GM he wasn’t on the same page with, a meddling owner and then toss in the Brady factor, this didn’t seem like a good fit without a long term plan of stability. So now what does Davis and Brady suddenly think is the formula for success? Flores setup a defense and Daboll get a guy like Dart (who he was reckless with)?
Raiders are a sexy team to go to, the city and weather and Brady etc etc but tossing a rookie QB as the franchise saviour with a GM who is on the hot seat, it’s not clear whether their is a long term plan. Not sure the Raiders executive and ownership have that patience to build something over a minimum of 3 years. As Davis gets older it’s likely he’s going to be less patient, not more.
