I wouldn't say he left the Raiders in ruins. He did a very bad job but the team is not in irreparable shape. The best thing he did was jumpstart our QB process, it was time to start the process of drafting somebody. Jimmy G sucks but Carr wasn't any good either. McDaniels sealed his own fate by doing this.
There's no permanent lasting mistake that comes as a result of McDaniels, they didn't waste a first rounder on Tebow or have a ton of dead cap or anything like that. The worst thing he did is in game management of the talent at his disposal, that is something that can easily be fixed. The players he drafted don't suck. We didn't trade any of our future picks either. There is something wrong with his coaching process, NOT the players (other than QB but that was already a problem before he got to the team).
The drafting this year and last was solid, we got pieces. Issue with McDaniels was too many Patriots players within the ‘system’ that was there, Meyers has looked solid but Hunter Renfrow has looked like a scrub and not getting involved in the offensive play calling. Also, the tight ends were MIA for the first few weeks not getting involved in the offense.
Next, Jimmy G has been shit and how inconsistent the offensive line has been he’s been terrible. Patriots and Niners oline was good, Raiders not so much. His reads are shit, deer in the headlights.
Defense, it’s been better as the weeks have gone on. Yesterday, the defense carried the load but they were gassed.
So with that being said, ride the rookie QB.
We’ve seen Garbagopplo enough, he sucks.
