It’s a fascinating time if you’re following the Las Vegas Raiders, with training camp taking place in Henderson, NV. That’s especially true for new quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo—the man can do no wrong, nor can he do anything according to fans.
No one was more vocal in their support of Derek Carr when the Dave Ziegler-Josh McDaniels regime began in Las Vegas than McDaniels himself.
