Overview
- At 2-10, Las Vegas faces intensified scrutiny after The Athletic’s Dianna Russini detailed internal confusion over the franchise’s direction.
- Russini reports Tom Brady has been in the facility only a handful of times and relies on wellness coordinator Alex Guerrero as his “eyes and ears.”
- Reporting attributes several key calls to Brady’s influence, including backing Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly, discouraging a Sam Darnold pursuit, and missing on Matthew Stafford.
- Multiple outlets cite league and team sources who question whether Carroll will last the season after the offense cratered and Chip Kelly was fired 11 games in, with Greg Olson taking over play-calling.
- Geno Smith’s struggles, including a league-high 14 interceptions, and Mark Davis’s prior stance casting Brady as the franchise’s football lead have amplified questions about the team’s plan.
