I do think Del Rio is a decent coach. I just don't think he's good enough to make them a good team overnight.
He hasn't even turned over much of the roster. Nate Allen and Curtis Loften were solid additions to the defense, but they need way more than that. Cooper and Crabtree will give them solid receivers, but can Latavius Murray handle a full load? He only had 99 carries last year and kept getting nicked up. Can Carr progess and actually start throwing it downfield? Dude averaged 5.46 YPA last year (UGH) and I heard a lot of Raiders fans say it was checkdown city.
Even their good players have a ton to prove, and they're not exactly stocked with good ones. People are just scared to death that if they show confidence in our team, they'll wind up losing. If people are predicting our offense scores 13 points against the team that gave up the most points in the league last year, we must be in for a rough season. Sheesh.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
