Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler have been here before. Just three years ago, in fact.
When Tom Brady decided to leave the New England Patriots, the franchise was suddenly in need of a new starting quarterback after a long period. Now, McDaniels and Ziegler (longtime New England assistants) are in the same situation as they enter their second season of the head coach and general manager of the Las Vegas Raiders.
They are looking for a new starting quarterback after moving on from Derek Carr, who had the role for nine seasons.
To get more clues of what the Las Vegas Raiders’ brass may do at quarterback this season we should look at how the Patriots initially replaced Brady.
