If Stafford is worth 2 1sts, Carr is going to be worth around that and possibly more. 

He was worth two firsts for a team that doesn’t value 1st round picks as much as it does proven players. While players can reset the market when it comes to contract, it doesn’t work the same for draft picks.

 

I doubt anyone pays two firsts or more for Carr. Raiders will get a 1st and a day 3 pick at most. Card hasn’t played at an extremely high level since 2016. Also doesn’t always like to throw the ball downfield.

Whatever the Raiders get for Carr look for them to package them to get Watson. The best situation would be trading him to Houston as part of the Watson trade. Carr is a name in Houston anyway..

You can get a 1st for Carr. Then trade that first, their original 2021 first, 2022 first, Josh Jacobs and Crosby. That’s their most likely bet. They’ll essentially have to give up Carr and 2 players plus picks for Watson.

I would really like to see Eason start.  #1 being he's been under the tutelage of Reich for the past year, should account for something. #2 working with PR and JB, this should have acquired valuable experience from them. #3 Marcus Brady the new OC also has been working with Eason as well, and has glowing comments  about him.....Start him up I say, let's see how well he does.

About Carr’s career trajectory...

 

His three best years have been his last three...    2018, ‘19, and ‘20.

 

Dont take my word for it, check out his numbers for yourself.   It’s there in black and white.

How do you feel about Carr? Could he succeed in Indy? I personally think he could, but I'm not sure the Texans wouldn't take him for themselves in a Watson trade (assuming the Texans would even consider the Raiders as a trade partner.... if I were them, I'd hornswaggle the Dolphins for Tua and a treasure trove of picks).  That said, I'd feel much better about Carr coming to the Colts than Wentz.

I’d be fine with Carr.   His last three years he’s completing about 68-70 percent of his passes.   I think Reich can work well with that. 
 

But if the Raiders want to do a deal for Watson, then I agree sending Carr to Houston as part of a bigger deal for DeShaun makes the most sense.

That might be the play, and to bring in a vet for back up. Unless we do something silly like trade for Teddy Bridgewater, who's VERY available right now. The Jets will want at least a #1 for Darnold, the Raiders a 1 and more, like a 1 and 2 at least. The Eagles will want a 1 and 2, maybe 2 #1 picks. Kurt Cousins is available, but he's the one I really wouldn't like even for a 3rd rounder. Pickings are slim to be honest..

      Again, I’m not saying a good D isn’t needed…well, maybe I am….  But what I’m really saying is that with a great Offensive you can win with an average Defense.   And, as to your point, I think all the teams that lost in those games you mentioned all had very good defenses.

      Personally I think Thomas got pressed into playing before his time. He did a few things we didn't expect initially considering his draft position. I think ideally they wanted to take their time and train him up sorta like EJ Speed then get him out there.  I'm interested to see how he regroups to be honest.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By CR91 · Posted

      Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement as the colts wanted to go in a different direction which was apparently Stafford before the Rams came in last second. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. If you ask me, I think Stafford was plan A as Stafford himself said him and his wife were so convinced he was going to Indy that they started looking at homes. When that fell through, imo Reich lobbied for Wentz. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential as rookies and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.
