oh

His mascara game is on point! Keep doubting the carr

Great news! 15 more years of mediocrity


Derek Carr wants to play football until he’s 45

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...-until-hes-45/

Tom Brady plans to do it. Russell Wilson hopes to do so, too. Now, Derek Carr has joined the 45 club.

“I feel like I can play another 15 years, without a doubt,” Carr said Wednesday, via Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com. “Nothing’s hurting. It’s the middle of camp, and I feel great. I feel strong, I feel fast, I feel explosive. And I think it’s just the way we train now.”

Carr turned 30 in March. He feels 66.6 percent of that age.

“I feel like I’m 20,” Carr said. “I honestly believe this — that our generation, the way we can take care of our bodies with football, I think 30 is the new 20. . . . That comes from science, and that comes with more understanding.”

Plenty of quarterbacks may want to play into their 40s, and they may physically be able to do so. With so many great young quarterbacks entering the league every year, however, only the best of the best will have the privilege of sticking around that long.

“I honestly feel stronger, faster, better than I first did when I got to the NFL,” Carr said. “And that comes with more knowledge on how to train, how to eat, how to take care of your body. And that takes a little bit of money sometimes, but it’s definitely worth it. . . . Because I’m sitting here in year eight, and I remember people ahead of me talking about year eight like, ‘Yeah, I’m miserable,’ and they can barely walk out of bed. I’m blessed, man. I don’t have those problems. And I’ve had broken bones. But the way they rehab and stuff nowadays, I feel great.”

Feeling great at 30 doesn’t guarantee feeling great at 35, 40, or 45. The spirit may currently be willing. Time will tell whether the flesh is weak.

More importantly, time will tell whether the flesh is strong enough for a guy currently on the fringes of the top 10 to stay among the top 32. That may be the biggest challenge for guys who aren’t among the best in their prime; it becomes harder to stay among the good enough later in their careers.

Carr's recent performance is better than mediocre. He'll never be top 5, but is top 10.

Gruden is infamous for dumping QB's he doesn't want and despite the media trying to hype that, it hasn't happened. Even with supposedly better QB's on the board in the first round.

Every team would like to have Mahomes. No one does and no one will.

I'm glad KC fixed the OL. While it pains me to see the Chiefs do so well, it would be a crime against the entire NFL fan base to not protect Mahomes so we all get peak QB performances for a long, long time.

Carr stats are actually pretty good overall. Your right, he’s not top 5. But borderline top 10. Pre-Mahomes the Chiefs fan base would have salivated over a guy like him.

no raider fan has ever posted a tweet or facebook message in response to a playoff win twitter nor facebook existed when they last won one

Carr is a serviceable NFL starter. I would’ve definitely taken him over guys like Cassel, Palko, and some of the other shit we ran out there. But that’s not saying a whole lot.

AFC West Starting QBs the last time the Raiders won the Division (2002):

Raiders-Rich Gannon
Broncos-Brian Griese
Chargers-Drew Brees
Chiefs-Trent Green

With Brees now retired, I would assume Brady is the last active player left from that year league wide.

66.6% better?

Wow… sneaking up on that 20 year mark. That’s one hell of a commitment to excellence.

Carr is a mediocre mofo. I do suspect he will play well this year because it is a contract year and he will try to ball out a bit. I am a Raider fan, not a Carr fan. He is a mediocre QB.....good stats between the 20`s but not the red zone and doesn't lay his ass on the line in crunch time.

I honestly didn’t know you were a Faid fan.

Probably a good indicator you’re a good fan.

So it's not just the COVIDs that you are totally clueless on. Noted.

I always thought Carr would be better.

He is just missing "it".

For every second of hope and excellence, he delivers hours of despair and failure.

Not what you want to see in your franchise QB.

But that’s exactly what we want to see in the Raiders franchise QB.

Good enough to not be replaced. Not good enough to be a threat to the throne. Beautiful QB Purgatory.

I love it when other teams have to experience that like KC did for so long. Also glad we don't have that worry anymore.

And best yet, it’s so obvious from the outside looking in. When you’re in that position, you keep thinking “with an elite defense we have a chance” or “he just needs more weapons” or “no one could win with this OL”.

Ok Darren

Wrong! There's one team that does have Mahomes, and always will!:D

I can think of a team that has a Mahomes at QB.

I believe they are my favorite team & they are called the…

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!!!!

Just as well add at least 15 more years to that with Patrick Mahomes in the division.

I also love it when they pay them franchise QB salary too.

Had Mahomes ended up a Raider, Bronco, or Charger, I might have been done with the NFL for awhile. I’m not sure I would’ve been able to give a shit knowing our best hope was a wildcard every year.

He always ups his game against us. Hell he even got a bus ride around Arrowhead last year. Bless his mascara rimmed eyeball what a warrior.

Thank you. As a Raider fan I enter this house with hat in hand and do my best to be polite and certainly humble these days lol. I do enjoy this forum for the variety of topics allowed to be discussed outside of football which some of my Raider forums don't allow. Trust me, I want the Raiders to destroy the Chiefs every time we meet but I also will tip my hat when Mahomes and company kick ass. I am a realist lol.

Having said that, I think my Raiders are right where you guys were prior to PM. I think we have the horses on offense except for Alex Smith, oops I mean Derek Carr........and we need our defense to get better. ;)

Carr has “it” for the majority of his career. IT being the last ranked defense for close to all his years playing.

If the Raiders field a top defense this year then they will make noise in the playoffs.

Wrong, you have Waller, an extremely unstable and unwealthy owner - I met the dude once and I know people, dude is a grade a nutcase. You have a psycho GM who is very expensive and pigheaded and an even more expensive and shitty coach who is mentally reeruned. You guys completely burned your o-line which was the best part of the team and replaced them with dick. Your qb sucks, your defense gets hurt all the time and you play in a godless shithole of a town. **** the Raiders for now and evermore.

Welcome to ChiefsPlanet, Raiders suck thread.
Bitch.

Also, **** your hat, Bitch.

Just playin, welcome to the board.

Bitch.

They had 5 top 100 picks and only came
Away with Henry Ruggs. Bowden traded, Muse cut and Arnette is awful LMAO

I hope they never fire Mayock.

This is why you hire a former scout to GM your team, not a former talking head that gets paid for hot takes

Mayock is not making the drafting decisions. This is all Grudens doing.

What exactly does Mayock do then?

Whatever it is, he's terrible at it. I hope he and chucky never leave

Strokes Gru-done’s ego effortlessly.

LMAO

That's bruuuuutal. Shenanigans like that got John Dorsey booted. Real franchises aren't that clueless.

There's got to be a juicy story for this one.

AND GET ON IT VORTCH

Perhaps he will serve as a warning to other "draft genius" talking heads who want to become a GM. In the NFL, unlike on TV there are consequences for being wrong consistently.

Funny thing is that Ruggs wasn't even the best WR in that draft. He was just the fastest. Hopefully Davis extends Mayock for a long time.

That's some otherwordly shitty drafting.

Like half of the guys on this board would've done better.

And that's REALLY saying something.

I imagine they have a kiddie table set up in the corner of the War Room where he can bang the table all night while Gruden does the drafting.

So they are leaving out Bryan Edwards, picked along side Bowden in the 3rd, why? He is starting opposite Ruggs.

Also, the Bowden pick sucked, but we did manage to get something back for it.

John Simpson taken at pick 109 has looked pretty good on the field and is expected to take the RG spot soon. Amik Robertson, draft 139, was a disaster at Slot Corner, but has looked really good on the boundry. Bit small, but has shown out since they put him back on the outside.

Raiders had a pathetic DC in there, and Gruden should have fired his buddy much sooner. We actually have a competent DC now, and perhaps the best secondary coach in the game in Ron Millus. Arnette I'm not sure about. Looked decent at times, but terrible at others. Millus will have to earn his money with him.

Wonder what’s going on with the Lb they cut. Wonder if it would be worth kicking the tires.

He actually looked pretty good in the preseason. Doubt anyone claims him on waivers, should see soon I suppose. Probably will be on the Raider PS.

The Raiders thought Ruggs was the best WR in his class, drafting him ahead of Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk, and Tee Higgins.

Yeah, this may definitely come out as a miss but that is not set in stone yet. Jefferson looks to be the best so far. Ruggs will be more of a focal point this year in the Raiders offense so his number will increase. He also added 15lbs of muscle. The pressure is on him and the Raiders for him to produce.

He might turnout to be a great receiver.

Better upgrade the quarterback position, or he’s gonna be Dwayne Bowe with Alex Smith.

They drafted him so they cod have their Tyreek. Unfortunately they don't have their version of Mahomes throwing it to him.

And Ruggs is no Cheetah.

Nope. He is just fast, but not the all around receiver that Tyreek is.

Missed this yesterday. Funny stuff...ROFL

https://www.silverandblackpride.com/...-kansas-school

"Well, this rivalry just went to the next level.

All the way to the elementary school playground. It’s on now.

A hilarious development occurred when a Kansas grammar school ordered a ton of Kansas City Chiefs’ balls to celebrate the start of the school year and the NFL season kicking off. When the order was received from Amazon, school officials were in for quite a shock.

They got footballs alright — Las Vegas Raiders’ balls."

How many of those kids will eventually be walking around LV with a buzz when they grow up?

All because of this fiasco.

Raiders: 3rd in deep completions (25+) last season.

How many of those did Carr under throw not hitting his wide open WR in stride?

You visiting fans have the weirdest flexes ROFL

They don't keep count of that advanced gen stat yet. :evil:

:p

I guess you don't watch the games. Which would explain your odd anti-Carr fixation.

The Faid should win tonight with a soldout Vegas crowd in attendance & the Ravens 2nd & 3rd best RB’s out of the game.

I’ll be watching the Manning broadcast on the deuce.

Anyone see Mark Davis house he’s having built in Vegas? Looks familiar.

http://https://www.reviewjournal.com...s-2431192/amp/

Obviously the Raiders suck. Particularly DC.

Who knew if he had a decent defense he can win. Good luck Chiefs against the Ravens next week.

Carr and Gruden not playing starters during the preseason, recipe for a headache. Pulled it off though.

I watched tonight. Carr blows balls. Defense carried him no doubt. I am a grey beard Raider fan. Sorry Darren if I offend you ;)

praising the defense feels weird, not sure I'm ready for that after the last several years

You are a pleasant Raider fan.

hey I try

no reason to start shit in a host's house

One of Arrowhead Kingdom’s own last night

Yes Carr is bad. No their defense didn't stop Lamar. Lamar's inability to play the position at a decent level cost them the game. Any top 12 QB should've cut that LV defense to pieces.

ROFL

Right. Carr didn't win that game.

Carr had a QBR of just 52 and a PR of under 90. Below league average, against a injury-ridden defense. Lamar giving away a pair of fumbles on his side of the field made the difference, not Carr.

Carr would've won that game in the first half if he didn't suck shit

couple plays at the end, while impressive, does not save his overall performance

there is seriously not a thing prior to the 4th quarter from Carr that you can defend

and that come back in the 4th/OT is not good enough to get us to the post season. This is his last chance, his last year, to wake the **** up and do something to get us to at least a wild card. Him and Gruden, about done with this era.

ROFL
Who cares? Carr is Carr at this point. He isn't elite, not even top 10. He was gifted a pair of short fields by a RB that BAL crowned as their QB, nothing more. You want to hang your hat on Derek Carr, please go ahead.:rolleyes:
