Raiders Owner Mark Davis: 'You Gotta Have Patience'

Mar 31, 2023 9:14 AM

The Las Vegas Raiders went 6-11 in 2022 despite entering the season with high expectations following the acquisition of Davante Adams.

Since the end of the disappointing season, the Raiders have moved on from Derek Carr and brought in Jimmy Garoppolo.

"Unfortunately, every time you change there is going to be changes that those people are going to see but you have to give them time to understand the changes," owner Mark Davis said. "I know that a lot of people can watch film and think that they know it all, but watching film doesn't give you all the answers. You need to watch the games and be there to get the full picture.

"So, yeah, you gotta have patience."
