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.

The Raiders were 12th in PPG. Not your bogus number.
But Carr is the problem not the lousy defense that can't get a turnover to save its soul.
