Las Vegas Raiders: Struggling star told to 'step the hell up' by Stephen A. Smith

The Las Vegas Raiders should be blaming Derek Carr for their poor performances so far this season, according to Stephen A. Smith. 

The Las Vegas Raiders have been something of an intriguing side so far this season, as they have been in a number of close games but haven’t been able to pick up a single win, losing by scores of 24-19 to the Los Angeles Chargers, 29-23 to the Arizona Cardinals in overtime despite leading by 20 points at one stage and this week 24-22 to the Tennessee Titans.

The Raiders started off this season in a pretty good spot, as they were a playoff team last year and in one of the biggest moves of the offseason, added All-Pro wide receiver, and arguably the best in the league Davante Adams in a trade with the Green Bay Packers. However, despite starting off with a bang by hauling in 141 yards and a touchdown, he’s put up 48 in the past two games.

And ESPN broadcaster Stephen A. Smith thinks that the majority of the blame needs to go on one person in particular.
