Rich Gannon blasts Raiders for 'commitment to mediocrity'

After watching the Raiders go through September without winning a game, former Oakland quarterback Rich Gannon has put the organization on blast for lacking a commitment to winning.

Gannon was named the NFL's MVP in 2002 as a member of the Raiders, and led the team to a Super Bowl appearance the same year. 

On Wednesday he sounded off on his former club to SiriusXM Blitz. 

You got this sign in front of the building out there - I don’t know if you’ve ever been out there, Bruce - it says, ‘Commitment to Excellence.’ They ought to take it down. It’s false advertising right now. There’s no commitment to excellence. There’s a commitment to mediocrity right now, and that’s the problem. You need to change the culture and the environment. 

Gannon alluded to the team's poor track record once again. 

There’s people out in Oakland, in that building - players, coaches, front office, people in business, accounting - stealing. They ought to give the check back. The product on the field is terrible, and when you lose like that, how can you go to the bank and cash the check? You should be embarrassed.

The Raiders have begun the season 0-4 and fired head coach Dennis Allen after an embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 4. The team will have to do something drastic if they are to salvage the season.
