John Spytek: Tom Brady’s empowered us to run Raiders day-to-day as we see fit

There has been rather a lot made about Tom Brady’s involvement — or lack thereof — with the Raiders since he grew to become a minority proprietor of the franchise.

But even as Brady’s presence hovers over the franchise, General Manager John Spytek and head coach Klint Kubiak really feel they’ll do what they want to do every day to run the franchise.

Spytek addressed this reality this week in an interview with Up & Adams when host Kay Adams requested if it will be tough to preserve Brady out of the QBs room.

“I don’t think it’s going to be hard,” Spytek mentioned. “We both welcome Tom’s insight and his input. But at the same time, I would say Tom has empowered us to run the day-to-day of the Raiders the way that we see fit. And obviously with the right vision and process in place, we’re going to be a very process-driven organization right now. And I think that wouldn’t surprise anyone with the way that Tom has operated throughout his career.

“But I feel that Klint and I each really feel the help that he is given us to do the day-to-day stuff the proper means and to intensify the proper issues, to maintain folks accountable, particularly the quarterback room. There’s no extra essential room in our constructing from a gamers stand level than the quarterback room — everybody is aware of that. It’s the toughest place in sports activities to play. So, there’s going to be a excessive stage of accountability and demand that comes with that. But, I feel we each are simply very appreciative of the way in which Tom operates and the insights and the data he shares with us. But additionally, the way in which that he permits us to do issues the proper means day-to-day.”

There’s rather a lot to be decided when it comes to Mendoza’s success and the bigger success of the Raiders within the coming season and going ahead. But it seems Spytek and Kubiak are going to bear a number of the accountability for the staff’s outcomes.
