The Raider Nation optimism centers on the hope that the future Hall of Fame quarterback can impart the wisdom of winning seven Super Bowls on the franchise — but mostly on Mark Davis, who has zero playoff wins since taking over the once-exemplary franchise from his late father Al 12 years ago.
Raiders Twitter has not been a fun place to be this season, with the eventual Davante Adams departure, the predictable poor quarterback play and a defense that’s been decimated by injuries. The Brady news brought some positivity, including some surprising levity.
Even Raiders diehards can find the humor in the following social-media masterpiece, courtesy of a Kansas City Chiefs fan.

Davis’ signature haircut has been as bad of a look as his Raiders on the field during his tenure, but if anyone can pull off the bowl-cut look and still look stylish, it’s Brady.
Back to football: Brady is expected to have a prominent voice in football decisions, and Davis confirmed that outsized role for a minority owner at Tuesday’s NFL owners meetings.
“Although Tom can’t play, I think he can help us select a quarterback in the future and potentially train him as well,” Davis said.
Brady can help select Raiders next QB and train him? Alrighty then …
