The Las Vegas Raiders have been a poor offensive team in 2024. For all his faults, Derek Carr was a serviceable quarterback who had some Pro Bowls and playoff appearances, but his successors have completely wasted the talents of the cast he left behind.

It gets worse. Remember when the Raiders also had Josh Jacobs, one of the most promening running backs in the league? Since his departure in 2023, no one has come even close to replicating his successes, especially Alexander Mattison.

The former Minnesota Viking has looked like a total franchise bust, and it may not be long before he's out of the league entirely.
