Raiders moving on from Carr

Gruden and Carr have a solid relationship, the sources said, but there are concerns about not extending plays with the legs when possible, and Oakland has also struggled to push the ball downfield. Carr has been quite accurate -- completing 70 percent of his passes -- but the bulk of the work goes to tight ends and running backs, and he isn't by nature a gunslinger or a big-time playmaker; those characteristics resonate heavily with Gruden.

Seems like a natural fit for a Newton/Carr swap IF the Panthers and Cam are unable to reach an agreement (for the record, I hope they do). Gruden likes his vets and Cam seems to check all the boxes. 

For the Panthers, they get an accurate QB with a reasonable salary for the next several years.

So, IF a trade is in the offing (I said IF, everyone), what would be the package? My suggestion would be Cam and the Panthers 3rd round pick for Carr and their 17th overall, provided Cam signs an extension with the Raiders.

Thoughts?

Why are the Raiders giving up on him if he's a franchise QB worth building around? He'll be 29 next year with a 21.5 million dollar cap hit.

Don't see the argument for this possible move if you are against keeping Cam for one more year at 19 million.

Read the article. Explains it quite clearly.

I'd rather have a healthy Cam Newton, but I don't know details of his health

If he's unable to go, I think Carr would be the best quarterback we could realistically get for years

The Raiders are a mess of a franchise and got rid of Amari Cooper and Mack.

Kevin Stefanski could turn Carr into Kirk Cousins, which is enough to win a Super Bowl.  For as much as people complain bout Kirk Cousin's contract, he's the best quarterback who has come available in the market in years (and we're not picking high enough in the draft to get Burrow or Tua).

His head coach doesn't see enough "high end upside" for the price tag sounds to be about the gist of it. So basically buyers remorse. Seems to be a lot of that these days with the drama of the neverending quarterback carousel in the NFL. Maybe there is something the Panthers could learn from watching this unfold?

Are you in favor of kicking the tires on Carr? I'd rather look to the draft than hitch our wagon to a 100 million dollar quarterback whose team has already given up on him before he's reached 30.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
