Dump Carr or no?
Carr is not the answer. We all know that. Even the strongest Carr supporters are saying that if we give him even more weapons and he still can’t win in 2020, he should be gone. That’s not a vote of confidence to me. Think about it. Tom Brady played behind an offensive line that was nowhere as good as Carr’s and with offensive weapons nowhere as good as what Carr had in 2019. Yet Brady’s record was 12-4, with 3 more touchdown passes and 107 more points scored (420 to 313). Imagine how excited Brady would be to have another Gronk-like TE in Waller? Or a running back with the quality of Josh Jacobs? Or a young, possession receiver like Hunter Renfrow? Or a running back out of the backfield like Jalen Richard? Brady would use these weapons, throw TD passes and, most importantly, score points. With 107 more points scored, we would have easily been in the playoffs.

I’m against any Brady talk but I cannot argue these facts.

Derek Carr isn’t going anywhere this year and the only QB I would trade for is Stafford to replace Carr with but I doubt Detroit does something so stupid.

I agree 90% with this. Bridgewater is the only other one I see on the market that I might be interested in. But, is he an upgrade over Carr? Like I said on the other thread, as much as I like Carr, I believe he is part of the problem. Just not a big enough part to dump him this season. Get the offensive weapons, let him run with it, and draft a QB to see what they have. I wouldn’t be opposed to Jalen Hurts, as long as he isn’t thrown in the fire from the beginning. Let him sit a year.

‘We have to be a much more detailed football team'
Like so many Raiders fans, coach Jon Gruden found himself searching for answers after the Raiders’ second-half collapse that cost the team a spot in the expanded playoffs.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
Starting Tackle Kolton Miller is entering the final year of his rookie contract.
Wanted: Defensive coordinator
The Raiders didn’t wait long to begin their search for a new defensive coordinator, and it’s becoming clear that Jon Gruden has already narrowed his list down.
Raiders' good, bad, ugly
Raiders’ good, bad, ugly
NEWS & NOTES
The Raiders had one of the easier schedules in 2020 and got only eight wins to show for it. Things won’t get any easier in 2021, either.
Looking back at 2020 season
The 2020 season will absolutely be remembered for being one of the strangest and most disappointing in franchise history.
Gruden feeling the heat?
“I know there is a big bull’s-eye on my chest, certainly. If the people want to use that as an incentive, then so be it. I worked for Al Davis in 1998. That was pressure. I was 34 years old. I’ve dealt with pressure before. I don’t really feel pressure. I love the excitement and thrill of competing, and I can’t worry about things I can’t control in that regard. I know people will want to step on me and beat me, and that is just the way this league is.”
