Jason LaCanfora: Panthers potential landing spot for Raiders QB Derek Carr

There's been an alarming trend for teams moving on from their starting qbs and the new team being very disappointed in what they get. Darnold, Mayfield, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Carson Wentz x2, DeShaun Watson (early returns at least). QBs are too valuable for teams to move on without good reason. That'd be my main concern with Carr. He's objectively at least average as a starter if not better, and should be an upgrade. His contract is overpriced but non-guaranteed, so you could take a flier and cut him if he doesn't live up to it. The problem would be the draft picks to give up. A day 3 pick we got from San Francisco would be worthwhile but I think with enough teams desperate for an upgrade at qb (Jets and Colts at a bare minimum), I suspect the asking price will be too high.

I don't think that the Huddle is capable of assessing Darnold because of our fans have QB Stockholm Syndrome after years of bad QB play.

Darnold is objectively very bad as an NFL QB. He is better than he has been in the past because they literally ask him to do next to nothing. He is also rarely asked to throw deep in this offense. So, wasn't Teddy a WILDLY better QB in that role?

Darnold has very little NFL future in anything other than a 2nd or 3rd QB role.

I'm not stating that Darnold is our future at QB in the least.  The topic is about trading for Derek Carr.  When comparing Sam Darnold against Derek Carr I really don't see why it wouldn't be a better option to sign Sam to a bridge deal instead of overpaying for at best a slight increase in production with Carr.

Did you see my post?

 

He's not in the building. Not at meetings, practice or lifting sessions. He's cleaned out his locker.

At any job in the world if you go home after a demotion and don't return to work that's quitting. 

Maybe this was answered but a talking head somewhere or the other said he was barred from even calling his coaches so it doesn’t sound like quitting.

Where the hell are you getting this take from??  Is there any other journalist or source that agrees with this or are you just completing pulling it out of thin air??  Of course when it comes to QBs your takes have never been that good anyway so I guess it's par for the course...

It said on ESPN he has left the facility.

Okay someone is spinning something somewhere.  
I can’t remember the source. I listened to several podcasts and did some reading yesterday or whenever and it didn’t seem important that I document it at the time. 
 

I guess this is where I say if he quit like that, in a huff or pouting because he was benched, sure. Outta here. It’s just something tells me he isn’t that guy.

Carr is on the wrong side of 30 and could be on the decline because In 2022, he completed 60.8% of his passes for 3,522 yards with 24 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.

His completion rate is his worse since his rookie season and a steep drop from his 68.4% rate in 2021.

His 14 interceptions are the most in the league through Week 16. He threw three interceptions in the 13-10 loss to the Steelers that all but eliminated them from the postseason.

Really depends on the vet's mom. 

Only way I see it is if the Raiders release him and we could sign him to a short term, reasonable deal.  That reasonable deal isn't happening and Carr doesn't want short term so not going to happen.

Once again, I really don't want Carr on this team.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They're pretty far off, double T-Mac's stats to get to the same targets as XL and it would be 4 drops to 7.  A 3 drop difference might not sound like a lot, but it's still almost twice as many drops on the same number of targets. Not to mention, if I remember correctly, XL's drop problems last year seemed more down field, where he was dropping passes he should be making and it was clear his poor hands were there reason he dropped them. And weren't both of T-Mac's drops this year on quick hitters with blockers out in front of him?  I know at least the second one was as he was going to go for a huge play and maybe a TD on it. To me, and yes, I'd say this about any other player, those are drops because a rookie was trying to do too much in making a play before securing the catch.  Much easier to improve upon than dropping passes because you have bricks for hands and body catch more often than hands catch, like with XL. And yes, 100%, which is why I wasn't one of those people you were referring to with talking about him that way last year.  Yes, I said he had drop problems., because he did, but I didn't think they were unsolvable and expected to see great improvement this year (unfortunately not sure that happened though).

      Every iffy call has gone the way of the Chiefs tonight, per usual. They had a TD earlier tonight that looked like obvious offensive pass interference and the flag was throw but picked up.
