I saw a mock that had the Raiders taking Anthony Richardson with their first pick. This could be a possibility considering McDaniels reached on QB as the Broncos HC when they drafted Tebow.

god i hope not. unless he can recruit somer studs to come play on the cheap. but just no. he's old and done.
I suppose, but I'm still a bit confused (other than the injury clause), but the Raiders basically squashed any trade leverage they had by benching Carr.https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/the-...e-ziegler-tom-brady-josh-mcdaniels-mark-davis
It never made sense to me that McD would discard Carr with 2 games left. This explains a bit to me.
I like Derek, but I'm not shocked he didn't like getting called out.
i think it was the consistency that was all over that article. we all scratched our heads at the straight up release of the OL men, when the OL was so thin. i think this was the same. doesn't matter what name is on the back of the jersey. team comes first. if the decision had been made to move on, do it now. and the injury clause was huge.I suppose, but I'm still a bit confused (other than the injury clause), but the Raiders basically squashed any trade leverage they had by benching Carr.https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/the-...e-ziegler-tom-brady-josh-mcdaniels-mark-davis

- One player said: "I love Derek and wish he were still here. But I love the way Josh does it. Everyone on this team is held to one standard, and you are to perform at a championship level every play and every day. I liked Gruden, but he was never wrong. I also wanted Bisaccia, but certain people didn't get it (criticism in front of the team) like others."
Raider Nation is divided into two groups.
- One group loves Carr and swears he can do no wrong.
- The other can't stand Carr and probably still blame him for the final two losses.
- Both groups in their fandom are irrational.
- After years of terrible drafting that has left the Raiders with nearly zero depth, multiple coaches, and almost no defense, it is unfair and illogical to blame Derek Carr entirely for the woes of the franchise.
- Despite numerous fourth-quarter comebacks, it is equally unfair and illogical not to blame Derek Carr for the mistakes, poor execution, and failures.

Derek Carr will not get traded he is done with the Raiders. He is not going to hurt his new team by having them give assets for him.

RICH BISACCIACS, GREEN BAY PACKERS
View attachment 3407
The Colts completed an interview with Packers special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia for their head coach vacancy.
Bisaccia put his name on the map for future head coaching gigs by taking over as interim head coach for the Raiders after John Gruden was fired. He arguably saved the Raiders' season as it was set to spiral out of control, spurring them to a 7-5 record and a playoff berth under his watch. He was not retained by Las Vegas after the season and went on to join the Packers. Bisaccia has been well-liked by players at every stop in his career and has a minor stint of head coaching experience under his belt. Though there are a few masterminds on the offensive and defensive side of the ball looking for head coaching gigs, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Colts go off the board with their next boss.

They have tons of leverage. They have "your QB sucks and Carr is better" leverage. Carr wants to play. The no-trade clause will ensure he gets a lot of say in where he goes, but there will be teams tripping over themselves to trade for Carr.A

The benching him was the wrong move because it signaled to the other teams that they will cut bait one way or another.

I don't think the HC needs to be a offensive or defensive guru... in fact, most OC's and DC's who are and then get to the HC fail. There are all sorts of shapes and sizes for successful HC's so there isn't a "THIS is a HC" type of approach but I think the most successful HC is likely to be first and foremost a leader. After that having organizational leadership/management skills. Being able to game manage is important in making decisions like whether to go for it or not... but so much of that is being taking over by some nerd running percentages. I think Bisaccia can be very succesful. He isn't going to come in with his offensive or defensive system and then hire a OC or DC to run it like McD or Gruden on offense so he would need a strong OC/DC who can run their systems effectively. The Colts have talent... the last few years they were a SB ready team that just lacked the QB piece and they tried and tried and tried to get a vet to come in and lead them and it never quite worked. This year, they imploded and I didn't follow them close enough to have a clue as to why that may be. I wouldn't discount Bisaccia being able to be successful... having a locker room full of guys who will run through a brick wall for you can not be underestimated.

aawtfdik. And I did say that I hope gets it.

Since the overwhelming majority of people who become HCs we're previously DCs or OCs that statement would be weird if it were untrue.in fact, most OC's and DC's who are and then get to the HC fail.

No one else in the NFL needs to make a QB decision in February--except Vegas. Even if teams were deciding between Carr and Brady/Rodgers/Garoppolo, those other guys might all be on holiday till March.
This is one of those things that I am 100% confident in, and pray I am wrong.

Carr has all the leverage. But that doesn't mean the Raiders have none, just that their path to getting compensation is more complicated.
The Raiders need to be willing to do what the Niners did with Garoppolo last year. They have to be willing to play chicken and, if necessary, pay Carr $40 mil in 2023. It worked out well enough for San Francisco.
They can pick up Carr's contract in February. Teams know the Raiders are willing to trade him but they will need to pay to get him. Maybe the Raiders will need to eat some of the $40 mil, or take a lesser pick package to trade him and not pay cash, but the opportunity is there.
The Raiders simply need to be prepared to not trade him. There are advantages to that too. He's still better than Stidham (he is, so stop hitting Reply. Just, stop) and it would allow them to wait on the QB position for another year, build up areas of weakness & lack of depth. And maybe make a move for a QB in 2024.
It can be done, it just depends on the teams stomach for risk.
How much does he have?Davis does not have the deep pockets
I said it would be a gamble. A high stakes game of chicken. But I am sure Davis, and his partners, have enough money to cover Carr's contract. He is "poor" by very subjective standards but he isn't that "poor". The Raiders generate enough revenue to cover the contract.Davis does not have the deep pockets to do fork out huge money to pay those games.You are 100% correct.The problem is the "February".

no chance they mend that bridge

I dont think Stidham is better than carr , but i do believe he knows the offensive ''system'' , the new england system, better than Carr and it shows on the field , Stidham definitely has a better command of the field when playing.You are 100% correct.The problem is the "February".

He may have enough to squeak by, not enough to waste .He has enough.How much does he have?Davis does not have the deep pockets
I see estimates for his personal net worth anywhere from $250 million to $2 billion. And that doesn't really account for revenue generated by the team or the team value that, to whatever degree he owns, can be borrowed against.
Although the website that suggests $250 mil also said this about him "American businessman and sports franchise owner Mark Davis has an estimated net worth of $250 million dollars, as of 2023. Davis is the owner of the Las Vegas Raiders NBA team."
The team, and the NFL, generates the revenue that pays the players. The only concern for player contracts is having to put monies guaranteed by contracts into escrow accounts upon signing. That would certainly hinder Davis and his ability to, say, offer a Deshaun Watson style 5 year, $250 mil guaranteed deal. But a one year $40 deal will be entirely covered by team revenues.He may have enough to squeak by, not enough to waste .He has enough.How much does he have?Davis does not have the deep pockets

by highly unlikley he'll be paying it to a QB he has no faith in.
Taylor and kingsbury were OCs. Rhule was a OC and HC in college. Harbaugh is most similar to coach b as a former ST coach, but he got a shot early in his career.Reid and cambell were assistant HCs, which is also a title coach b has held. But guys don’t usually get a shot after 20 years in the same position. I hope he gets it though.Since the overwhelming majority of people who become HCs we're previously DCs or OCs that statement would be weird if it were untrue.in fact, most OC's and DC's who are and then get to the HC fail.
Going into 2022.I think there were 6 HCs that weren't previously a coordinator. That's not even 20% of the HC jobs. 40% of the 5 currently open HC jobs were held by guys with no coordinator experience.
Harbaugh (Bal), Taylor (CIN), Reid (KC), Campbell (DET), Ruhl (Car) & Kingsbury (Ari). Three hits, two misses and the jury is out on Campbell, though he's trending in the right direction.
