HENDERSON, Nev. -- Jon Gruden 2.0 has "improved" from four wins in 2018 to seven wins in 2019 to an 8-8 record last season. Of course, the Las Vegas Raiders have faded badly the last two years after starting 6-4 and 6-3, respectively.
The offense in general, and quarterback Derek Carr in particular, has not been the problem. But many observers wonder if he is the answer. And if you have to ask that question, then maybe you do have a problem. After all, the Raiders were three plays away from finishing 11-5 and qualifying for the playoffs last year.
