"In my opinion, Geno is playing like a rookie quarterback. He's been staring down receivers and struggles to adjust when defenses roll their coverages post-snap, leading to the 12 interceptions that are the second-most in the NFL. He's also been holding onto the ball too long and taking too many sacks. Granted, offensive coordinator Chip Kelly isn't helping Smith out, as Kelly is running a college-style offense that is predictable."
"As far as whether the Raiders will make a quarterback change, that's a big question right now and I lean toward no. Geno is Pete Carroll's guy, and Carroll has shown that he's pretty loyal to Geno. I think if the coaching staff were going to make a change under center, they would have done it by now."
"I've gotten to a point where if Crosby wanted and asked for a trade, I'd understand it and be willing to get some draft picks for him. He's put up with a lot of losing and has played for five head coaches in seven seasons, if you count Rich Bisaccia's interim stint in 2021. Then again, Crosby brings a lot to the team both on the field and as a leader."
The Dallas Cowboys will face the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. Geno Smith is described as playing like a rookie, staring down receivers, failing to adjust to post-snap coverage shifts, and compiling 12 interceptions, the second-most in the league. Smith is also holding the ball too long and taking too many sacks. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly’s college-style, predictable scheme is cited as compounding Smith’s problems. The Raiders are unlikely to replace Smith because Pete Carroll remains loyal. Maxx Crosby has endured years of instability; a trade would be understandable if requested, though he remains a key leader.
