The Las Vegas Raiders quarterback, Geno Smith, has been a consistent source of turnovers this season, leading to questions about the teams direction and coaching staffs decisions. Smiths performance has been described as mediocre, with his best plays often coming when he targets Brock Bowers or when running back Ashton Jeanty finds open lanes. The teams offensive production has largely relied on individual efforts rather than a cohesive strategy.Carrolls reluctance to bench Smith, despite his struggles, might stem from his past coaching tendencies and their history together with the Seattle Seahawks. However, a potential alternative in Kenny Pickett is waiting in the wings, and Smith suffered a quad contusion in a recent game, further complicating the situation.This Sunday, Carroll has a crucial opportunity to make a bold move by potentially benching Smith, which could redefine his first year as the Raiders head coach and potentially inject new life into an offense that desperately needs a fresh approach.
