Deion Sanders is not a fan of what Jon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders have brought to the field this season. After an embarrassing 34-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, Sanders finally let his true thoughts come out.
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Sanders laid into Gruden and the Raiders for their 1-7 start to the season.
“I'm sorry, I can't take this no more. PLEASE, could somebody get these Raiders off my TV??”
Gruden and company claim they are not tanking, but things certainly don't look good. If they're not tanking, then they are just a bad football team.
Oakland has already gone through a lot of change this season. Khalil Mack was traded prior to the start of the season and Amari Cooper was another trade casualty ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
Derek Carr was mentioned in trade rumors heading into the NFL trade deadline, but the Raiders have made it clear that he is their quarterback for the foreseeable future. He has the talent to be something special, but has not been able to show the numbers that he had back in 2016 season when he was an MVP candidate.
Looking ahead at the Raiders' future, the team has quite a few draft picks to work with. They netted two from the Bears in the Mack trade, while getting another from the Dallas Cowboys for Cooper.
Sanders is not the only one that has been fed up with the Raiders, but his words certainly carry a lot of weight.
Expect to see the Raiders continue struggling this season en route to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Gruden has a lot of work to do to get his team back into contention.
