Tom Brady's 'Nobody Did a Good Job' Bomb About the Raiders and the League Is Still Buzzing

Alright, buckle up, Emerald City! You gotta hear what Tom Brady, yeah, *that* Tom Brady, just dropped on the Stick to Football podcast. You know he's a minority owner for the Raiders now, right? Well, his first full season in that role? Those guys absolutely stunk. And Brady, being Brady, isn't holding back one bit, saying, and I quote, "Nobody who did a good job. There's not one player in the organization, there's not anybody involved that did the job to the level that it needs to be done at." WHOA. Talk about a bombshell right before the 2026 season even kicks off!

The Truth Hurts, Doesn't It?

He's not wrong, though. Last year was a straight-up disaster for the Raiders. They were so bad, they flat-out earned the first overall pick in the draft. Ouch. Brady didn't mince words, declaring they "underperformed in every area" and that it's "everybody's fault." Can you imagine that kind of public call-out coming from an owner? He even said it starts with him and "filters down to the rest of the players on the field." Our Hawks, from Sam Darnold to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, know that accountability feeling, even if nobody's calling them out quite like this! Now, you know Maxx Crosby and Brock Bowers might have a thing or two to say about that "nobody did a good job" line, but Brady's laying it all bare. It’s a harsh dose of reality for a squad that, frankly, deserved it after that kind of performance.

Massive Improvement or Bust for the Silver and Black?

what's the GOAT expecting for the 2026 season after that kind of performance? You guessed it: "a massive improvement." When pressed for a specific win total, he just kept hammering that "massive improvement" point, talking about "daily improvement" and "hourly improvement." He sounds like he's trying to instill that championship mindset, saying a good team "should be better every day and every week." We 12s here in the Emerald City know that grind, right? From the consistent effort our Seahawks put in under Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury, with guys like Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Cooper Kupp pushing for that daily edge at Lumen Field, to Cristian Roldan grinding on the pitch for the Sounders, it's that relentless pursuit of excellence that defines a winning culture. That's the mindset you need to turn things around. Brady clearly thinks the Raiders are starting from ground zero, and he's ready to make them climb, fast. It's going to be wild to watch if Brady's tough love actually works out for the Raiders. Can they really pull off a "massive improvement" this upcoming season after getting the first overall pick last year? The AFC West is always a brutal division, and this kind of talk just cranks up the heat even more across the league. While they're figuring out how to get better daily, we're over here in the Emerald City, hyped for our own squads. We know what commitment looks like, and we'll be watching to see if Brady's vision for the Raiders actually sticks. It's almost football time, baby! What are you most hyped for this NFL season? Let's go Hawks!
