What about . . . (ducks) . . . Derek Carr?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Assuming Andrew Luck doesn't come back I have a feeling we take Jordan Love with our 1st pick, 2nd pick will be a DT, 3rd pick will be a WR.

Yes.  Carr is better than all of the rookie QBs, IMO. 

 

If it only took pick #34 to get him, its such an easy decision.  He's 28 and costs less than $20 mil per year.  We then have our entire draft intact. Draft our Nelson for the Dline and our team will contend for the division right away and beyond.   Draft skill players after that and Carr will look even better.

 

We'd be in a position to draft a young QB in the following years whenever the talent and our draft position align, instead of having to reach for one this year who might not be that great.

And if we could pull off a trade before FA starts we might have a better chance of acquiring some talent that might be leery of JB as our QB.  I see a lot of upside.  They would need a way to move on from JB so there would be no doubt whose team it is.

I’m not seeing it. Just like, I’m not seeing Carr get traded for less than a late 1st or early 2nd. Some delusional fans here. 

 

Yep, get Carr for pick No.34 and most of your draft is in tact and you don't have to bring up a rookie up to pace in our system.

Simple as that!

Yes I think 34 would do it and we could get back on track quicker.

Wish I was that optimistic, but “delusional” I am not!

The only issue is bringing a FA QB is a huge risk if he would fit and gain trust in the locker room. It’s easier to mold a rookie into the locker room. Although there is no character concerns or anything with Carr but would the guys accept him. Mike Chappell actually mentioned on the radio today Carr would be a guy Reich would love to have.

You don’t think this WR core would accept Carr? Man they’d jump for joy. You can see the frustration from TY and others ( even the over throw Sunday when Hilton beat his guy by 5 yards). Ebron seen the writing on the wall, just like us fans. Don’t agree with his decision, but he knows what JB has.

A QB who has not been apart of this team would have to earn a lot of trust.

I completely agree with this. If the reports are true and Jacoby is Loved that much in the locker room. It would be hard to bring in someone else to replace him via free agency. Also side note, Ballard is huge on draft and build your locker room. Bringing in a FA QB to take JB job doesn’t fit his MO.

I think this is overblown, I also believe he has likely lost a lot of support ... the other players may not be verbalizing their skepticism of JB being "the guy" it, but IMO many are definitely thinking it.

Carr has been a top 8-10 QB throughout his career and he’s only 28. If the Raiders do trade him it’s going to take a lot to get him.

Well staying with this guy isn't the answer either.

I think you misread what I said... It definitely was not in support of JB or his supposed leadership. 

[LockeDown]

Well, Gruden has a track record with Cooper and Mack. How much did it take to get them? Oh, then add to it because he is a Starting QB.

I’d give up maybe our 4th round pick for Carr. Not our 34th overall pick from the Redskins. Could easily get Jordan Love there. 

Keep that 1st round pick for a stud DT, but please, not Jordan Love.
