And how long has it been since the Raiders were able to consistently win? And it's now two years in a row that their studly QB has been riding the injury train.
They'll be the next media darlings who don't do shit.
Oh yeah, and how smart is Gruden? He could probably have any DC he wants and he chooses Paulie G?
That talk only comes from ignorant people, tbh. People that seem to forget the team that Gruden played in the SB that year was the Raiders...the team HE built.
The rest of Gruden's tenure in Tampa wasn't as bad as people say:
7-9
5-11
11-5
4-12
9-7
9-7
0-2 in the playoffs.
Looks a lot like Marvin before the reboot, and people praise the shit out of Marvin for that turnaround. Mind you, Gruden did this with guys like Chris Simms, Jeff Garcia, Brian Griese and Bruce Gradkowski at QB, whereas Merv had Carson Palmer.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
