Someone tweet that to Rose Stabler. That is why the Raiders haven't won. Your dead husband had top ten defenses in his career. [Reply]

I have always said since 2017, Carr hasn't been a top 5 QB and not really top 10 (flashes at time), but he is good enough to make the playoffs consistently.
Of course, it is impossible when you are playing with the world's worst defense. It has never been reliable at all. It can't defend leads or make GW stops.
It left Mayfield and Pickett march down the field in crunch time.
Since 2003, it has been below average in scoring defense. The longest stretch since the merger in 1970. [Reply]

He and Ruggs were tossing bombs everywhere before Ruggs went full idiot.
If he is smart, he forces a trade to a good spot. Or allows himself to be cut to pick his spot.
He owes nothing to the franchise after how this went down. Some Raiders fans say differently but it is a business. They protected their interests. He should protect his. [Reply]

Obviously TEN has a dominant running game, and a decent OL.
They need a couple receiving weapons, but Derek would be able to lean on those other pieces and just be a game-manager, which is really his wheelhouse.
Of course, once in the playoffs he'll probably shrink some, but in the AFC-S he could actually get to the playoffs.
I definitely agree with this. I think Carr in Ten could be greater than Tannehill in Ten. He'd be a perfect fit for that system. [Reply]

100%. McBugel charted a course that minimized the talent on the Raiders offense in the second half of games. Over and over again. Carr is a pretty stand up guy, but I really hope he airs the dirty laundry at some point. [Reply]
One Raiders board in particular is mad about my posts.
Fan police are funny people. If you disagree with them, you aren't a real fan.
I don't believe in that take. Fandom is not a singular thing. Many Raiders fans were wishing for losses this year because the franchise needed a high draft pick. Well, the team needs a new coach. Two blowouts to end the year could make that happen. McBugel is a dead end. [Reply]
