I would 100% ok with Derek Carr.  Look at this:

All the guy has done since entering the league is get better and better and better.  27 TD, 9 INT's, 4100 yards last year.  Almost 8 yards per attempt.  YES PLEASE.

He's relatively young, with another 5-7 years of prime football in him unless he gets abused.

Oh, and there's this:

Five game winning drives last year.  Hi there clutch QB.

Yeah, I just browsed his stats too.

I am warming up to this idea quite a bit. I don't think he is an elite QB but he might be really great in our offense.

Then pay him over TB if they can't do better than a TB quality QB. Doubt there is a huge market for him, could even see a return to NE as the main option aside from staying in IND. 

Just don't see them trading for TB.

What I am stating is that TB's contract isnt as bad as this message board portrays. There is an out prior to the 3rd year, and we would have to pay out the majority of this year's value if we traded him. So any team taking on TB is going to get a cheap 1 year rental.

He's not elite at present, but his stats man . . . can you imagine what they'd look like if he was throwing to Moore, Anderson and CMC?  He's got the arm.  He takes good care of the ball, but isn't scared to push it downfield.  Mobile.

And that clutch factor.  He had nine opportunities to win a game for his team.  He did it five times.  All I'm saying is that if our QB had that record this past season, we would have been 10-6.

Yeah, I don't watch a lot of Raiders(pretty rarely). I am trying to get an idea about how he works in their offense. I had a friend bring up him as "check down" guy. Trying to look at some advanced stats to see how he does throwing the ball deep.

Other than that. Yeah, I would be okay with Carr.

Not sure I like the idea, but here is what we know:  The Raiders are in red ink and he would be a $19m break from it..  We could swap first rounders with them and send them a third.  They get to move up into Lance area and have a third to help if they need to make another move up (Cincy or Philly) if necessary. 

They get $19m cap room, the positioning in the draft to draft another QB, and a third.  The Panthers would have the  12th overall pick, 2 NFL starting QBs. The Panthers could then trade back for a late first and late second--then picking late 1st (Tackle like Cosmi) and 2 seconds (MLB, CB) with no third. 

They ain't getting 2 first rounders for Carr.  Not happening.  Carr has 2 years left on his contract and no money is guaranteed.  I am not sold on this move even though it might appear to be robbing the Raiders.  Still, at $20m unguaranteed, we would have about $45m in cap room going toward Teddy and Derek.

Stats are great, but most Raider fans want him gone.  Mayock even said recently, (paraphrasing) "The best part about Carr's contract is that it has almost no guaranteed money."  Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

 What out? To keep him it will cost the Panthers 28M in cap space. 23 this year. 5 next.

  A team trading for him would have to pay him 17M to be on their team this year. Who is going to pay that for a backup QB who just showed his limited ability? If anything, statements like these pretending that contract isn’t a huge obstacle is something that has been falsely portrayed on here for awhile.

I dunno man, check out the Chiefs game below.  Carr took his team down to take the lead with less than two minutes to go and the Raiders couldn't hang on.  He was definitely looking downfield first the whole game.  I know, it's just one game, but it's pretty representative.

Watching Kelce and Waller makes me miss having a great TE.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
