Chloe6124 8,476 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 On the one percent better podcast Steven Holder says he has a source that says keep a eye on Derek Carr to the colts. He says source says they are willing to explore a trade for Carr. My guess this might only become a option if we aren’t able to get a guy we love in the draft. Link to post Share on other sites
Mel Kiper's Hair 2,230 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I would think that if the Raiders were going to trade Carr that they would do it before free agency and the draft to maximize his value. If they wait until they have Tom Brady or draft someone else then he probably loses value on the trade market. If I were Chris Ballard, I would be on the phone right now with Mike Mayock and Chucky trying to work out a trade for Carr. Link to post Share on other sites
BProland85 2,921 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 HIs completion percentage has been getting better every year, and we all know Reich and Ballard want a QB who has good accuracy. I'd be a fan of making a deal for him provided Ballard doesn't have to give up a 1st round pick, their 34th overall pick, or their 44th overall pick. Link to post Share on other sites

I also think it's a decision the Colts would make pre-draft too. Sure the Colts may be all in on one of the guys in the draft, and Carr could be Plan B, but IMO it's more likely he'd be a plan A. And given LVR will want draft picks, they'll definitely look for a pre-draft exchange. Link to post Share on other sites
ColtJax 340 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I think Carr is a horrible QB. He's a dink and dunk passer and the reason why the Raiders might shop him. When he throws down field he's as accurate as Blake Bortles, and we know how that turned out. I wouldn't take him for a 6th rounder, I'd rather go after Andy Dalton or even Jamies Winston..

jchandler7 328 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'd be thrilled to see Carr with a horseshoe on his helmet. I'd rather have Carr than any of the FA QB's available. Unless we are able to get Herbert, Carr would be our best option IMO. With Carr we could draft best player available without reaching. The only QB's I would touch in the 1st round are Burrow, Tua & Herbert. Carr isn't a HOF QB but he is solid. He could help us make a SB run imo. Link to post Share on other sites

Just about everything you said is refuted by his stats. At the very worst he's average in terms of air yards, and his deep pass rating was very successful. All of Carr's core stats were top 10. #2 in completion % #10 in YPA (7.9) #10 in QBR #9 in passer rating #14 in YPG #11 in INT% (11th lowest) #17 in completed air yards All the above was with a team that was top 10 in drops, and below average in separation. As far as his deep ball accuracy, he was one of the better QBs. His left and right deep balls are among the best in the league, and his seam deep balls are at worst average. Here's his passing chart for 2019. For the fun of it, I've included passing charts from the other guys you mentioned that you'd take over Carr. Dalton Winston And Bortles, who you compared Carr too Link to post Share on other sites

You will be paying double price for him. He's not making too much more than JB will this year. Actually less in cap hit. And we gave up a 2nd for JB... I'd give up a first for Carr, and not lose a minute sleep. He's locked up for 3 years currently. If he's great, you pay him just like you would pay any franchise QB. If he's not good, you don't, or let him walk. Not sure I understand the concern here. It's the same concern we'd have with any QB. The only difference is, we know what we get with Carr, unlike a rook, and are not getting a cheap (but gambling risk) three to four years on a rook contract. Link to post Share on other sites
MikeCurtis 2,127 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 A reasonable trade for Carr would be a great option...... playoffs in 2020 IF they are interested....

I think a lot of his production and stats are schemed up and manufactured. To me he exhibits a lot of the same characteristics that Jacoby did in the first half of the season - elevated numbers that overstate his level of play thanks to playcalling and scheme. I didn't think Jacoby was good enough back then, and I don't think Carr is good enough now(admittedly, Carr is better than Jacoby). We've gone through this same conversation before, so I don't want to regurgitate it all over again... I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't want to trade for Carr, unless the price is a 3d round pick or thereabout so we can treat him as a temporary/bridge QB that gives us better level of play than Jacoby in the short term, but we are not tied to him long term through overpaying for him.

I never said draft a QB high this year or a QB at all. But we have him for 3 years if we trade for him. There is no reason to give him another contract. In his last year we could draft a QB. Or in 2021 we could draft a guy. There is nothing that says we have to keep him longer then the 3 years left on his contract. He would be 32 at the end of that 3 years. It’s not like we are trading for a 25 to QB. Link to post Share on other sites
Hoose 1,255 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 A second round pick for Carr would be a great deal, and if the Colts could get it done for pick#44, it becomes a steal. It’s also a far better scenario than signing a washed up Rivers or rolling the dice in the draft with a talented but unknown commodity such as Love. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd prefer a rook too (Love or Herbert) as you know. I'd just be happy with Carr as well. I don't think he's a product of scheme so much. I think his improved performance is a product of better coaching, better running game, and improved OL, despite the scheme that he really doesn't fit. Link to post Share on other sites

He was in year two of his career, had just taken on starting duties, and had doubled his output from his rookie year. He was trending. At minimum he would have brought a 3rd, but we've seen teams give up 2s for similar production. Case in point, NE just traded a 2nd round pick for a 30 year old Sanu with similar numbers.

Chloe6124 8,476 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 The thing with Carr is it’s pretty low risk. All his guarantees have already been paid by Oakland. Your basically getting the back half of his contract. If it didn’t work it’s not that hard to dump him. I would trade pick 44. The thing is though is if they do sign Brady it’s going to lower what they get for him. Ballard I don’t think will want to trade for him until he sees the draft play out. I do think he would rather give Reich a young QB to mold. Reich deserves to get a fresh young guy to mold also. Link to post Share on other sites

chad72 13,513 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Why would we not wait till free agency opens to see if Carr's value goes down? I am not budging from a pick No.34 or 44 stance, and if you smell the possibility of them trading Carr, I think the ball is in the opponent's court. You wait till the first or second week of free agency and see if they acquire Brady. I don't think they are going to make a move till they secure Brady, if that is who they are after. At that point, Ballard can call a few more shots because they don't want Carr's contract on their hands. Link to post Share on other sites

#12. 1,862 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If we were top-5, I'm drafting a QB, but at 13, this is probably the best, safest option, if he's available. He's still young and you know what you would have for the foreseeable future. If Frank can work Carr into a consistent, top-10 QB, you can compete. Talent wise, he's not Manning or Luck, but there's enough there. Link to post Share on other sites

If you wait too long into FA many if not most of the teams most interested In Carr will have made moves on the FA QBs available or other potential QBs that might be available in trade like Cam for example. His highest value is before the draft. If they could get it done before FA then I think him being our QB would help attract FAs as well. Link to post Share on other sites
krunk 12,871 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I like Carrs mobility and he's not a bad passer either. Our team has some similar qualities to the team Carr had when Del Rio was there. The one that went to the playoffs and probably would have went to the Super Bowl or close to it if Carr didn't get hurt against the Colts. Link to post Share on other sites
