Josh McDaniels doesn’t rule out benching Derek Carr

I believe the Raiders will bench Carr. They can exit his contract within 3 days after the super bowl, after that it guarantees.  If he gets injured he's protected in the contract. So basically, they should bench him to protect themselves from him getting hurt and his contract getting locked in.

I think Carr has gotten a bad rap most of his career. He’s been pretty good, but not great, in a terribly unstable organization and has been extremely loyal to it.
 

I don’t know what he has in the tank anymore, but I do know that McDaniels sucks as a HC. At some point the org has to move on from both. Careers always end.  But if I’m a QB needy team like the Jets I would have zero issues taking a flyer on the guy. 
 

I hope McDaniels gets stuck with Carson Wentz.

I think Carr goes to Miami. Jets have zero weapons on offense outside of their running game

you think he’ll be okay backing up Tua?  Or you think Tua will have a very early retirement?

Depends if they make the playoffs and how far they get. Tua still could call It quits and walk off. Watch for veteran FA QB’s line up for Miami. Tyreek is on pace for a 1,700 yard season and Waddle is already at 1,260 yards on pace to finish with 1,400 yards. I can definitely see Carr wanting to play with those guys

Welp, McDaniels will be joining Patricia and Judge soon enough back home. 
 

I can’t believe how these former pats assistants all have failed spectacularly. I don’t think Bellichick has a single successful assistant from his coaching tree (I don’t count Vrabel, who never coached under him). 

That’s if Bellichick is even coaching for the Pats next year.

He might be seeing NE as a no win situation, no QB, no o line,  no running game and flawed defense. I can see him pulling a Sean Payton and back himself out of NE. Fans are already calling for his head

 

Bills fans are teaching them how to organize a mob - sharpening pitchforks, picking right kind of torches, etc.

I wouldn’t be surprised if McDaniels is fired. Good spot for Payton.

Davis already said he’s not firing McDaniel.

I say Carr goes to Miami because of Tyreek and Jaylen. Also Florida no state tax. NY is one of the highest taxed states. He lives in LV Nevada one of the most tax friendly cities.

He’s been loyal because he’s holding the franchise hostage.  He’s not capable of winning the SB with any team imo.  The raiders paid him well for being a meh qb.  He should be nothing but grateful to that team

Their best weapon is Garrett Wilson.

Also why would you go from paying almost no tax in LV Nevada to paying up the ass in taxes in NJ/NY? Miami you’ve got a 1,700 yard receiver and a 1,400 yard Receiver, plus a decent running game in Mostert and Wilson Jr and no state tax.

According to you the running backs are the only weapons they have.  That's called moving the goal posts.

I say running backs because none of the Jets receivers haven’t  been major threats to anyone these last couple seasons. The only threat the jets have had this season was their running game

Amazing that this guy got a second head coaching job. Of course the Raiders front office hasn't done anything smart in a long time.

I wonder if the NFL is trying everything in their power for Davis to sell the team? It’s obvious the NFL still holds a grudge against the Davis family

I agree. I don't think Derek Carr is now, or ever has been, the problem for the Raiders. I understand why people look at him and say "he can't win a Superbowl" and maybe that is true. But in 8 seasons as the Raiders starting Quarterback he has NEVER had a defense rank better than 20th in points per game and only twice have they been top 20 in yards per game (with a best of 14th last year when, oh look.... they made the playoffs!)

 

Awful organisation that has been bad on defense for as long as I can remember and has given him 6 Head Coaches in 8 years. 

 

That being said, Carr is 31. They have certainly seen his ceiling and if they think there is an opportunity to take a Quarterback of the future in the draft they 100% should do that. The problem for them is that they are presently in line to draft 9th and all 8 of the teams ahead of them are potential Quarterback teams (Arizona probably not but not impossible). Most people think there are 3, at a push 4, potential round 1 Quarterbacks in this class. To get one they almost certainly need to lose out and even then might need to swing a trade up. The Cardinals or the Bears might be willing to take a bounty of picks to slide back and start patching up some of their roster holes.

Garett Wilson has been a fantastic #1 WR.   Corey Davis is also a #1 WR...and Mims is not far behind...  Technically they may have a better cast than the Bills at this point (Minus Diggs).

Mims?????? What is it about his 0 NFL touchdowns in 3 seasons and sub 50% catch rate that you like? He sucks.

 

Corey Davis isn't a #1 either. He is a decent #2 though. I think Wilson and Davis outside with Elijah Moore in the slot potentially is a decent starting trio.

Yet another reason to be thankful we have McDermott - threats and statements like this about your team don't help build any type of winning culture - keep your business private and don't make this something the media is involved in. I have no idea why this guy was ever given a chance honestly.

Yep.  You don’t reach players by being an egocentric ass and expecting “Sir yes sir” anymore.  The good modern coaches are about building up trust and love.
