Derek Carr the man? I do feel bad a little. I’ll still welcome him back to light the Al Davis torch

But in the end, this is who DC is after that 2016 injury. Look at what happened to the Nation, then compare to what happens when a fan base with real expectations seems him play

I think I saw a stat that said he hasn’t thrown a TD since November 5th? Idk of that’s true but I do know he only has like 11TDs all year and it’s December.

Carr still has a ton of money coming his way, but Dennis Allen may get fired (with Carr as his QB…again) soon. Maybe he just retires at this point

I mean, he was a 4th round pick a RB. Wouldn’t be the first time a cheaper replacement RB took over for a highly drafted guy

I don’t see a reason to mock that opinion unless someone was saying it a few weeks ago

Part of me wonders how much this is just Ziegler or his camp trying to separate him from the beyond dead horse of Josh McDaniels. I think we all know he’s never getting a HCing job ever again in the NFL, and might have a problem getting a coaching job outside of N.E

Still, lot of this makes me sad. Even looking at it from Josh’s perspective. Being terrified to fail just ensures that you do

It is what it is at this point. But the entire situation just makes me sad

In this hypothetical scenario

1. Why limit what he can do at qb? It’s the most important position and you want to Handy cap him? Let him go suceed and fail with his guy.

Plus idk why we would do that with or without gruden anyways. Why not take a swing at QB? Haven’t don’t that in over a decade. Don’t see a reason not too

2. mostly agreed but not letting him in the room is too much. Also what on earth is the chance that Gruden agrees to that stipulation.

In fairness we did have a qb on the same level as Cutler for a while

If prime Al had 1 weakness as a GM, it was definitely at QB

Didn’t evolve with the league and not having a good QB cost us, big time.

Idk why the Raiders have never really valued the position but that needs to change

Modern NFL means that most qbs coming out these days are “dual threat” to varying degrees

The age of the pure pocket passer is over for now, need a guy that can run every so often to keep D’s honest

Need a R1 qb tbh, then rest of the draft we can fill holes

But we gotta draft a R1 qb this year man. Unless Aiden starts truly balling out the rest of the year then there’s 0 reason not to

I just don’t get people crapping on Aiden yet

He may turn out to be a high quality backup, he may be a low level starter, maybe he sucks from here on out.

But he’s looked decent in the games he has played, and within context that Jets game was pretty good. I’m still 10,000% on the “draft a R1 QB” train this year, but let’s see what he does vs KC and Miami before trying to definitively call what he is.

Lol, love Josh. I want to resign him to a long term deal this offseason

​

Always a chance with RB’s, but these last few years he has been healthy and very productive while being one of the best backs in the NFL. Can’t as for much more than that. Get him a contract

I’m 0-2

2021 vs KC

2023 @ CHI

I’m hoping to break the streak before it gets like yours lol

Eh, put some respect on Denzel Perrymans name

CJ and Perryman are definitely the 2 best LBers we have had since Kirk Morrison tho

With Carr we would still have Josh at HC. Jimmy devovlinginto the worst qb in the nfl is what ultimately got Josh canned.

The vibes would be so much worse and I doubt the team would be playing with as much emotion as we are now.

Plus we would still be dealing with the Carr wars and Carrs own problems as a QB. Probably don’t have the same supporting cast because of the money Carr would be owed as well

I think we got the best possible outcome tbh. Even if Aiden ain’t it we can draft a R1 QB.

Much better place to be in as of this specific moment imo.

Bo Knows

“Better” would sum it up lol

Seriously, all this shit is in the McD playbook. He just didn’t wanna use it. Blows my mind

why are the Pats in hate but the 49ers and steelers in dislike?

He replaced Carr with an even worse Vet QB

Oh and he was a terrible leader

The Legend of Josh McDaniels is one where the outrage outpaces his actions, but at least for him words speak louder

Just an odd fella
