After seeing the results of the Wilson and Watson trades so far there's no way the Raiders are going to find a trade partner they will have to cut him.

And Jimmy G taking a pay cut while in basically the same situation, although it's too late to work out something like that.  I seriously don't understand what their plan is. Stidham and a rookie? Baker/Teddy/Darnold and a rookie? 46 year old Brady competing in the AFC after looking like he's basically done?

I mean, that sounds about right for the basis of your argument.

Try watching some Derek Carr film at some point. There is no comparison.

My argument was that Carr, while better than Darnold, isn’t worth $35 million more per year. I stand by that.
 

Give me Darnold for two years, $10mil over Carr for two years, $80 mil. Just imagine the other talent we could acquire with that $70mil over that span.

In that scenario pass on both and draft your QB.

Carr has a no trade contract with the Raiders.  With that in mind why would he want to wave his right to refuse a trade?  He wouldn't.  Also, why would he want his future team to give up draft picks that could be used to surround Carr with more talent?  He wouldn't.  Finally, why would Carr want to do the Raiders any favors after McDaniels and Davis threw him under the bus?  He wouldn't.

Some team is going to get an excellent QB in Carr, but I don't believe the Raiders are going to get anything out of the deal.  They'll have to cut him right after the SB.

Why? Because he’d be guaranteed over $40 million come February 15th. That’s why to most of those questions.

Carr at $35/year? So I assume this is Darnold at $0/year? Otherwise that math isn't correct.

At this point in his career, I suspect that Derek's primary concern is not to end up on another dysfunctional team like the Raiders.  In today's QB driven NFL, there will be a high demand for Derek's services.  Right now he holds all the cards in this game and the Raiders have none.     

Guess we'll just have to wait a few more weeks to see how this all plays out.

Its going to play out with him getting cut because no one is going to guarantee him 40 million. If a team did want to, he’d waive that no trade clause instantly.

Correct.

If Carr is still a Raider after 15 February he gets his 40 million. 

Conclusion:  Raiders are cutting Carr NLT 15 February 2023.

Carr will be a free agent and there will be multiple teams bidding for his services.

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
