Carroll's Loyalty: Smith Over Pickett Despite Losses

Description

The Las Vegas Raiders struggles continue with a 2-11 record in the 2025 NFL season, largely due to starting quarterback Geno Smiths underperformance. Despite Smiths injuries and poor play, head coach Pete Carroll remains loyal to him, favoring him over backup Kenny Pickett. However, in a recent game against the Denver Broncos, Smiths injury allowed Pickett to shine, completing 8 of 11 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Carrolls reluctance to start Pickett, despite his impressive performance, is likely to frustrate fans and hinder the teams chances of winning.
