Raiders have nothing to gain by starting Carr the last two games.
Just shut him down.

He wasn't playing well lately anyway.
He was having a somewhat decent year until about 5 games ago.....then
9 TDs
9 ints

Before then had 15TDs and 5 ints.

The team went 3-2 in his bad stretch, but I think his awful game in Pittsburgh (where he looked uninterested in playing in the cold) maybe pissed off his coach and owner. Plus, they are out of the playoffs and jockeying for draft capital. Just shut the dude down.


also, fwiw

This was a playoff team last year and they neglected the 5th year option on Jacobs who's having a career year. Now they are about to part ways with their starting qb. As a Cowboys fan I get frustrated, but being a Raiders fan has to suck now.

At least he was better than David Carr! And David went 1st overall!!!

I start Jacods on my fantasy team with low expectations. Now I understand why he is over performing so much - contract year BABY. Pulling the old Demarco Murray routine.

Wasn't Stidham with the Cards? If so, he stunk it up there also. Not a starter in this league imo. Definitely not better than Carr.

Sure, he's better than Stidham.
They are just shutting Carr down. He wasn't playing lately (at all) and the team is out of the playoffs. Nothing to gain.

Carr and the Raiders were "turning the corner" with Gruden as HC.
Now, the new guy has torn it apart. Way too much talent on this team
to be a dumpster fire, but it is.

Many in here used to list carr as a qb that was better than Dak. Lolol
They also used to say that Watson was elite. Same people.

They also say Dak is average.

Same people.
