Does Tom Brady share some blame for Raiders’ awful season?

There was an expectation that Tom Brady would help elevate the Las Vegas Raiders with his presence as a minority owner of the team.

Yet, just more than a year into him becoming a member of the franchise that hasn’t happened.

It’s not totally clear exactly what Brady’s roll with the team exactly is. Some have should he has a strong presence, while other have suggested its more of a consultant role. it’s probably somewhere in the middle.

From my vantage point, it seems like Brady has a bigger roll in the offseason than during the season. He has been a part of the hiring process of the head coach, general manager and some assistant coaches and well as the quarterback position. But in the season, when Brady concentrates on his broadcasting job at Fox, he serves more of a long-distance sounding board.

The Athletic reported last week that Brady is ‘frustrated” with the team’s performance this season and he played a big roll in bringing Chip Kelly to the team as offensive coordinator. Kelly was fired last week.

Brady tried to sway Ben Johnson and Matthew Stafford to Las Vegas last year and was unable to land neither. He did playa role in the hiring of Pete Carroll, John Spytek and Geno Smith. He also reportedly didn’t want to pursue quarterback Sam Darnold, who is having a much better season than Smith for the Seattle Seahawks, who traded Smith to the Raiders and pursued Darnold.

So, you you think Brady deserves any of the blame for this season or do you think is in the clear in the mess?
