'We're Gonna Win A Bunch' - Pete Carroll Slapped On Some Receiver Gloves For Practice And Basically Guaranteed The Raiders Are Done Being Losers

Look at Pete Carroll, man. You slap on some receiver gloves and immediately you become invincible. I don't think it's insane to say that Pete Carroll will change some things with the Raiders, he is a winner. Dude has been successful for a long time, he had 1 losing season in his last 12 years. But this is a little different, this is the Raiders. They have been a loser franchise for years now, almost forgotten about because they are just there. 

But you go bring in Geno Smith, you draft Ashton Jeanty and keep Maxx Crosby and you start to get some hope. Does this look like a man who is scared of a little guarantee? 

The AFC West was always just there for me. I don't care about the teams out there, always end up watching them at 4pm and just kinda forget about these teams. But, now? I'm fascinated by the whole division considering the coaches you have. Andy Reid, Carroll, Harbaugh and Sean Payton? Those are the football guys of football guys when it comes to coaching. Not to mention the teams should be good this year outside of just the Chiefs. 

I say all that and know that this is the time of the year where we get guarantees. No one is going to be out there and claim their team sucks. The Titans tried to get caught doing that:

The Raiders are one of those teams who should be good. The black and silver, the logo, they are an iconic franchise. Now you have Pete Carroll making the guarantee, so let's at least be relevant this year. I want to see Carroll going nuts and taking shots at people like he used to.
