Dark horse QB option: Derek Carr?

The thing about getting a guy like Carr is that ideally it allows you to spend a couple of years looking for your future franchise quarterback.

Maybe a year or two down the road, you have more holes in the roster filled and you're in a better position to use draft capital to trade up for that guy you want.

If you don't like the choices in this year's draft or you don't think the choices you like are within reach, it's a reasonable idea.

Carr would be a MUCH better contract for us that TB5.  Nothing in there guaranteed assuming he comes over in trade.

If he comes here and lights it up, you've found a guy who can give you another 5-7 years.  Plenty of time for a SB run.  If he is terrible, you can cut him easily.

I was listening to the Lombardi podcast from a few days ago and apparently the sense around league circles is that the Raiders would be interested in moving Derek Carr and rolling with the cheaper option in Mariota.

After seeing what Stafford returned they could be even more interested in trading him. What do you think he’d be worth? Honestly I’m not a big fan and his contract is still pretty large. He’d be an upgrade so I figured it would at least be worthy dialogue.

I dunno man, check out the Chiefs game below.  Carr took his team down to take the lead with less than two minutes to go and the Raiders couldn't hang on.  He was definitely looking downfield first the whole game.  I know, it's just one game, but it's pretty representative.

 

 

He drove the Rai-duhs down for what appeared to be the winning score against the Dolphins with :19 left.  Then their defense gave the game away allowing an enormous completion with a defender hanging onto Fitzpatrick's face mask in the process. 

Can't fault Carr because his defense can't hold a lead.

Seems this was a well timed thread.

Lombardi also said today that he doesn't think Watson is going anywhere. Sounds like the Texans are totally prepared to just let him sit if that's what it comes too and get into some sort of tug of war match. If this is true, will the Raiders still want to move Carr? IF they think they can get Watson, I could see us having a great chance to land Carr since we could offer them the highest pick which they could in turn flip to Houston.

If Stafford got a first I really think Carr will too. Stafford is better, but Carr is younger by a couple of years. This has Washington written all over it though. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Surrender 8 for Carr or give up at least one future first for Wilson/Fields/Lance? I think I prefer the latter, but wouldn't complain if they went with the former.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
