The only way I want Carr on this roster to start the season is if Devante Adams is brought in
Would rather have Rodgers and Adam’s then carr and Adam’s and it’s not even close
But he threw for all of those yards! But he's among the Raiders leaders in yards passing!
That's what the Carr apologists have to say.
We point to his win-loss record.
His lack of TD passes in a passing league.
His number of turnovers.
His play in cold weather and when games mean the most -- at the end of the season, not in September and October.
The ONLY way I would keep Carr is if he signs a cap-friendly, "game manager" type of contract, which would allow us to build an elite roster around him. I'm thinking $15 million per year, maybe $20 million -- TOPS.
He is not worth a cent more. He is not an elite QB. He's a system QB.
Sorry, Derek.
Im torn...
If you give Carr a true #1 WR and
get a good RT and RG, I think you stick with Carr.
Also ONLY if you can ink him for under 30mil a year. More like 25mil is fair. Give him a 2 year extension and if he doesnt bring us far into playoffs next year with the true #1 WR and a real solid RT and RG, then you trade him and move on.. make the contract easy for you to trade him if there isnt a huge improvement in Red Zone production, minimalizing fumbles / turnovers...
This doesn't have to be the year he is gone. Hold a year, upgrade around him and if he still can get it after that, let him go. Unless someone is giving us over trade value now, I don't think we need to get rid of him. I am not sold in him as our savior, but he can manage if we build around him. Regardless, I am a Raiders fan and always will be. I haven't agreed with most shit they do, won't stop me from being a fan for life.
