Last week, Pete Carroll took over the challenging task of breathing in Las Vegas Raider’s new life. With this undertaking, he also builds on the support of NFL icon Tom Brady.
Explained at his presentation on Monday Carrollthat the quarterback position is the largest construction site of its new team and that in the course of the restructuring on the expertise of Raiders-Ti owner Brady trusted.
“I would like to add that it is our mission to build this football team to build up the quarterback position. The one he has, “said the new head coach of the NFC-West representative.
“I had a lot of success with my quarterback in the past, it goes back to my college time and they have proven to be really extraordinary members of our team,” said Carroll and therefore confirmed again: “It is really a matter of great things Football team to build up the quarterback position. “
Both Seattle Seahawks As is well known, Russell Wilson promoted the starting quarters back in its rookie season in 2012. The duo subsequently won the NFC twice and once (in the 2013 season) even the Super Bowl.
NFL team lacks top quarterbacks
Carroll’s focus on the already most important position in football is therefore understandable. The problem: In the current squad of the Raiders, he will search in vain for a QB that even begins to approach the level of a young Russell Wilson.
Aiden O’Connell (2-5 Record as a starter), for example, has proven in the past 4-13 season that it is simply not a franchise quarters. Part-time starter Gardner Minshew also threw as many interceptions in his ten missions, with only nine touchdowns.
Due to this modest starting point, Carroll campaigned for patience on Monday at the press conference. “You are all wondering what it looks like with the schedules and so on. For the last programs I was with, it took us a few years to get up,” the 73-year-old said.
