Derek Carr

[runthepost]

This dude is literally becoming a top 5 qb right before our eyes. He throws a pick then comes right back out to tie the game up before his defense gave up an lose

[Girlzarefanstoo]

Derek is very poised.  He grew up in an NFL locker room, was studying film as a teenager alongside of his brother.  He's a good man.  He's a solid person - husband, father.  He's very calm and pretty much unflappable.

 

In other words - he's trouble ahead for my beloved Chargers.  And I can't even hate him for it 

 

We had season tickets for the Fresno State Bulldogs when he was the QB, so we watched him grow before our eyes.

He's certainly turning into a nice QB. Carr to Cooper will be the next great QB/WR combo.

[Qwiz]

He's out to redeem the Carr name

I'm happy the Raiders finally have a quarterback that can play as good as Gannon did in his prime. That team deserves some blessings after all the suffering they've endured. It's hard to not root for them when they're a classic team with a great history.

All they need is one more solid draft. If they can get some corners....look out

meant to quote this post honestly swear I did tho

I've said on other boards that he's the best young QB in the league and he's proving it. That game winning drive today was fantastic. He reminds me of Aaron Rodgers.

[Jules]

Raiders are 3-1!!!!!!!

 

AFC West is looking pretty tight this year.

Well he is good

I dont even think the Raiders have played well yet..they have stolen 2 games in the end..

they have a lot more upside......and KC isn't scaring anyone

[2006Coltsbestever]

I had Raiders making the Playoffs. Carr is Good, I like what Rio is doing with that team.

The best part for them is all those 3 wins are on the road. They still have 7 home games left.

They are still playing lousy D, JDR is not doing much other than getting out of the way of Carr, IMO :).

 

A few gutsy 4th down calls banking on Carr's ability is the best JDR has done this year.

Rio is usually good at getting his Defenses to play respectable. We will see how the season goes on. I am not sure Carr is a Top 10 QB yet even but he is Good. Rio has made some key gutsy calls to help the Raiders win so far. The 2 point  conversion against the Saints set the tone early.

There aren't 10 QB's in the league who are more talented than him, I know that.

Maybe not, I think Carr is Good. Would you take Carr over:

Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Big Ben, Drew Brees, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning, or Joe Flacco? That is 10 I just named. Of course for the future you are going to take him over Brady and Brees because they are old but just talking today.

No but I think he could be just behind that group.  He has gotten better certainly.  It will be up to the Raiders to continue to build around him or else he could end up like, well......you know who right now.

I'd take him over some of those guys, yes. He's young and fresh and talented. He throws a better ball than most of those guys and if you don't believe me watch him throw.

Not denying his talent. I think he's Good but Top 10 is debatable is all I am saying. I like to see a QB be Good to Great for at least 3 or 4 seasons before I am sold on them. Andrew for example has had 3 seasons where you can say that. Carr has yet to lead the Raiders to the Playoffs but I do think they make it this season.

[ReMeDy]

The Browns are thinking, "Now when is it OUR turn to get a good QB!?" Johnny Manziel is like, "Call me!"

He does?

[Hi-Tek]

Oh, btw, Carr does it again. Coming into his own.

[RollerColt]

Derek has been very impressive this year, and a lot of fun to watch. You can tell he has command of that offense now. He is the true leader, as he should be.

3 11-5 seasons, rookie record for most passing Yards = 2012/11-5, a 40 TD passing season in 2014 and a Championship Game appearance, in 2013 we won a Playoff game and he had only 9 INT's. This season he actually is putting up MVP numbers, how doesn't he?

So, he was great last year?

He was injured. Came into week 1 unhealthy. People act like he played all 16 healthy and put up those stats lol.

LOL, he was injured. Is Cam great this year - NO but he still is a Very Good QB.

Too mistake-prone for my liking. I think Carr is better.

Carr is Good. I have them making the Playoffs but he hasn't had the career Andrew has had so far. Give me 2 or 3 more years of what I am seeing now and it will convince me he can be a Very Good to Great QB. Andrew has made a Title Game and Cam a SB.

[Jules]

I just love him!!!!

 

If somehow we can get a Colts/Raiders rivalry going (if we both make the playoffs this year maybe it can happen) it would be fun.

Headed for the playoffs.
