Carr playing for Reid would be considered an elite QB. Not Mahomes or anything like that, but he'd be the a hell of a lot better off, and have playoff wins if not a superbowl on his resume.

He would be another Alex Smith. Tons of regular season wins, but would fold in the playoffs.

Random side story: when I was a kid I had the best football in the neighborhood by far. This football was perfect - nice leather, easy to grip, a perfect heft to carry or throw. 100 percent of the time when we were playing sandlot, my football was the one that was selected as the game ball. I moved into a new neighborhood at one point, and played a couple of games in the vacant lot. One day there was a knock on my door and one of the kids said, "Hey, we're about to play football over in the lot. Can we use your ball?" I said, "I'm in! Let me get my ball." The kid got a surprised look on his face and froze up. Then he said, "Oh. Uhhh, yeah, I guess you can play too if you want."

Yeah. That is why I laugh when Raiders fans say if he sells the team he can be rich. Mark doesn't care about the money. He wants to own the team. He is one of 31 owners. It is a select club. People want to hang with him because of that. He sells the club and Charles Woodson isn't around any more. He is just a rich man with a bowlcut. All those invitations dry up.

I mean sure, **** the Faid, but it’s hard to hate Carr. He doesn’t run smack like some of these other ****s do, and that dude has actually produced. He has the caliber of skills to make some elite plays but he doesn’t have the capacity to do it under pressure. And you know what? That’s like almost everybody else ever to play the game. No love lost or Stanning for Carr. But if all but the most elite guys would have had a similar or worse outcome. And maybe it’s because I’m getting older but I can’t help but think how much it would suck to be in that position. |

Of course, it is the Raiders so they'll find a way to win one or two down the stretch and screw up the draft picks.

I just realized that I will be in Vegas (for the CES show) coming back on 1/8. Day of the Chiefs-Raiders game. Changed my flight so I can go to the game. There is a good chance that Mahomes and crew don't play the last game if our seed is locked up, but I'll be there hopefully not getting shanked. Although Vegas is a wine and cheese town these days, so I doubt it's like the old days in Oakland. Looking forward to it. Will be my 3rd game in a year, not bad for someone living in DC.

The best thing is the Raiders full on saying there will not be moving on from McDaniels, they just had an entire regime change so they need stability to let him do what needs to be done...hilarious.

But I am somewhat exasperated by them and struggle to find sympathy. This guy's standing up there defending a piece of trash like Josh McDaniels. He did the same stuff with Gruden. He's something of a mindless automaton; just another cliche spewing robot who takes orders well. Except this one gets all weepy when things are tough. And wears eyeliner. ****'m...

Truthfully, they're a little worse than I prefer. I'd rather they get around the 8-9 mark. |

Colts had the good fortune of running into the one team more dysfunctional than they are.

Rome was not built in a day! I kind of want to say that Pioli said that in kansas city but I can't remember 100%. Seems like a 'patriot way' thing to say. |
