It doesn't take an NFL expert to know that the Geno Smith-led Raiders are not looking good this season. The team is 2-8 and the offense has yet to build the momentum or mount the turnaround that onlookers believed veteran head coach Pete Carroll could foster.
Certainly not all, but some of the blame for this falls on Smith, whose performance has been a problem for Vegas. He has thrown for 12 touchdowns but also 13 interceptions—sometimes three in one game—and, as of Tuesday morning, ranks third-to-last in QBR (32.6), ahead of only rookies Dillon Gabriel and Cam Ward. Even the Jets' Justin Fields, who was recently benched in favor of backup Tyrod Tyler, sits above him.
