I see the Carr Brigade from the Raider Forum have come in to defend Carr. They never add anything to the conversation just Carr excuses.
Anyway Carr sucks. I'll start with the throw on Sunday where he cowered under a normal pass rush and threw the ball as he was falling backwards. No one touched him. Also did u see his drop back and run towards the sidelines with the ball, behind the LOS, and instead of throwing it away, he ran it out of bounds with the ball...which is a sack and loss of yardage when he could have thrown it away.
These sorts of things were not points of concern with MCGloin
If you watch Carr's passing plays, there is nearly zero blame to be put on Olsen. There were receivers open all over the field. I'm not talking about the 5 yard hitch routes either. Big plays were left on the field because carr took the easy throw.
Plus Carr does not use the pocket well, and often is late in reacting to the D\schemes presented to him.
Let's not ignore these things because he has a big arm and a good attitude (which is becoming annoying honestly).
We averaged about 24 points under mm, we are averaging 14 under Carr.
Pick one.
Lets stop pinning all his shortcomings on Olsen and the running game.
Hmm i wonder if the passing game has ever opened up the running game? Just a thought.
All Carr will do is play mediocre NFL QB and keep a gig as the Raiders flounder with him. There is no upside. You think there is but there isn't. A guy with a big arm. Davante Adams made this guy a 2nd round pick. He didn't make Adams.
And can Carr lovers stop with the whole, Aikmen comparison? I mean, the beginning of Aikman's career and where it headed is an anomaly and very far from the rule.

"I think (Carr) was real flustered. He was getting spooked easy. I know Dez (Bryant) hit him a few times. It was just an all-around good line effort.”
Kruger was a tone-setter all day. He dropped running back Maurice Jones-Drew for a 4-yard loss on the game’s first series.
With the Browns nursing a 9-6 lead in the third quarter, Kruger slammed Carr for a fumble-sack; the Raiders were lucky to recover on their own 9.
One time, Kruger was unblocked and assumed he wouldn’t get a sack.
“He was generally getting rid of the ball real quick,” Kruger said, “He knows I’m coming and to just get it out fast enough, but I kept on running and hoping he would hold on to it, and he did.”
