It’s time to move on from Carr

[Inspector]

Think two would be what the Raiders could get. This is a move that many here said the Raiders should have done. Trading Carr after the 2016 season. Hindsight is easy.

So Carr has value again. Do the Raiders get rid of him for other players/draft assets while they can?

No it’s 4 first rounders as that’s what he’s worth now with time on task with Gruden.

If we have a 10-6 season make playoffs carrs a lock for next year but not on a new deal Carr will know Mayock needs the cash from a reduced post COVID cap to fix the d. We need a playoff run at a SB for Carr to get a new deal imho

This list is a crock of ****

Carr's definitely not going to get a new deal... but for all those calling for another QB, Carr will be making 22M next year, and 20M in 2022. Compare that to 35-40M that a lot of the other top QBs in the league are making, we're getting very good production at half the cost. When you realize what comparable QBs are making next year or two... like Matt Ryan 41M, Stafford 33M, Roethlisberger 41M, Brees 36M, Goff 35M, Wentz 35M, heck, even Garoppollo at 27M and Alex Smith at 23M are making more than Carr. If you didn't get the point of the list, that's on you.

It's why I didn't really freak out when Carr got his deal. QB salaries go up so fast, that within just 2-3 years any top-level deal will quickly become very average. Long term deals for QBs can definitely work in a team's favor ... worst case you cut the guy and take a dead cap hit for a little bit, best case you have a bargain on the back half of a deal.

Also goes to show how desperate teams are for even non-franchise guys to play QB ... flash for even part of a season like Tannehill did, and they have to pony up ridiculous money to keep him. My god, Jimmy G makes a fair amount more than DC, can you imagine what SF would do to swap QBs with us this very second?

[dbacknick]

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. This season is only half over. So let's see how it plays out. As far as a money list, it can be misleading. Carr was considered as being paid top dollar when resigned. Now it looks reasonable. Unless he really screws up, he's not going anywhere. If they make the playoffs this year, that's fine. Next year will lead to higher expectations. And if he performs at a high level, he'll be paid accordingly. All in due time.

[Proximo]

This is the first time in Derek Carr’s career in which he has had coaching stability. I think the best thing the Raiders can do with Carr from a salary perspective is to continue to pay him well and within the confines of building a team around him. I think he understands this and will place a premium on winning.

I am not sure he is interested in going anywhere else provided he is treated fairly by the team.

Perspective is important but I am optimistic about our chances in November and December when it counts.

He'll probably never be a great cold weather QB given that he's spent his whole football in warm weather, but the good news is that this year we only have two likely cold games left. Gotta take care of business in the games we "should" win, but the biggest ones look to be the Fins and Colts, might very well determine seeding.

Although after watching the Cleveland game, I actually think while DC doesn't like to perform in those conditions, given the construct of our team (weak pass rush, strong OL/RBs), playing games in horrific conditions plays to our advantage when neither team can throw downfield and it's all down to smash mouth on both sides. Maybe a gauntlet of snow games in Buf, Kc, and Pit in postseason might be our best path to victory, as crazy as that sounds?

How about those Colts? Are they that good, or has Tenn lost a notch or two?

before the Thursday night game, I thought Indy was a longshot to make the playoffs. They were sitting at 5-3 and had the following schedule: TEN (6-2 at the time) twice, GB (6-2) next week, LV (5-3), and PIT (8-0). I thought They'd go at best 1-4 in that span. But after beating Tennessee, they might be challenging us for a playoff spot. Tennessee on the other hand, now sitting at 6-3, has BAL (6-2) next week, then IND (6-3), CLE (5-3), and GB (6-2) later in the season. Hopefully we finished ahead of Indy or Tennessee for a wildcard spot.

Is that a QB play ranking or not ? What’s the basis of the ranking? For me it can only be based on recent performance this last 2 seasons max period ideally this season higher weighting within context of the team they play for. Tape. Russel Wilson carries is team almost single handed he’s MVP.

So many of these guys aren’t ahead of Carr. Herbert is already top ten in my book kid can’t hardly miss a pass.

Pay is about contract timing for QBs. So teams get to budget more effectively with a locked in QB. Our time is now and next 2 years. Surround Carr with talent to win. He knows he can’t carry a team like Wilson and wouldn’t want to try

Division matchups throw up these results we will know after they’ve all played each other twice. I mean if we beat KC again that really means something

So a qb throwing 11 tds and 5 ints on a losing team is better than Carr who has 16 tds and 2 ints????? Lol

Wilson hasn’t carried his team. Not even when they won the Super Bowl. In the sb they had the legion of boom. They team was up 29-0 before he threw his first td. The d got a safety, a couple scores on d.

Now he has a bunch of good players on his team. Wagner, wright, Dunlap, Adams, diggs, Metcalf, iupati, Brown, griffen, Dunbar, brooks. Lots of talent. Not doing it on his own. I wish we had that much talent. Not carrying anything.

I know.. it's very subjective. It was from NFL.com though... Some other lists that I looked at had Derek in the 10-15 range.
