I’d prefer they keep Carr. He keeps them just good enough at the position that they’re unlikely to look elsewhere, but we know his ceiling won’t win titles.
He’s basically Alex Smith. Good enough to be okay, but not good enough to win it all.
Being stuck with that scenario at QB is almost worse than having a dumpster fire at the position. At least you know a change is coming when you’re awful at QB. [Reply]

He wants to go to a raiders game next year because he wants to see a win. I tell him they could always beat us and he says "not as long as no. 4 is their qb"...

A team like the Giants, Dolphins and Jaguars should get this dude.
Pretty much. It is amazing how badly the team mismanaged his career. Instead of hiring a young offensive mind, they chose to hire retreads to train Carr. And never drafted a good running back or gave him a good defense to rely on. They finally got a legitimate playmaker. [Reply]

Zero pocket awareness as in falling well before somebody is near or even fumbling before contact
Missing wide open WR`s downfield while checking down to a TE or RB behind the LOS
I live here in the Oakland area and see most of these games and Carr is a deer in the head lights kind of guy when the going gets tough
Yep. You hit the nail on the head. I was a fan of Carr and wanted the Chiefs to draft him. I thought that his brother was a good quarterback ruined behind a horrible offensive line. I saw that the Raiders built a good line early in his career and was sure that he would be a nightmare year in and year out for us in the division. Fortunately for the Chiefs, that all ended when he broke his leg. Of course he never did really play well against the Chiefs. But he looked promising before that injury against several other teams. Glad I turned out to be wrong in the long run. I hope that Chuckie keeps him around [Reply]

They can eat $7 million in dead money over three seasons and save paying him $55 million.
So where is he headed?
2019 is a total make or break year for Carr as a Raider. With the weapons on offense and what looks like a very good OL, if Carr can't break out this year, he's never going to recover his confidence. [Reply]

What confidence? That should have left him a long time ago. [Reply]
