Oh, ok. Some of the posters here do as well.
Going to be some crap years in Raiderland. '23 draft looks like a poor QB draft. FA QBs to be had are terrible.
Hell, Stidham wasn't even the best backup QB the Raiders had in preseason. He just got the job because he was McD's guy.
49ers will roll. I'd be surprised if we score the rest of the year.

Um, lets not pretend Payton Manning or Joe Montana is being benched here. Carr is averaging 15-17 PPG isnt he? Carr wouldn't have done squat against the niners. He is ranked 31 at QBR and leads in INTs. I think some here cant get 2016 Carr out of their heads. Since the middle of last year, Carr has been mostly uninspiring and been carried by Jacobs when they do well. Even a mediocre QB this year could have won a handful of games and making the playoffs. Every loss minus one have been 1 score games where the offense has failed to score in entire halves. Carrs mechanics all year have gone to shit. His throws beyond 15 yards resemble punts or wounded ducks. Keeping him and paying him $30-$40 million next year would have been insanity.
Best for the Raiders to part ways, try to build a great defense while continuing to have a great running game and groom some QB while going with a bridge type QB for a year or 2.
