Carr has been concussed twice this year (O' Connell concussed 0 times). Their offense has had a different line up every game. Key starters have missed many games. Tom Brady would have failed playing on the Saints under those conditions. And Raiders have a rookie who will never outperform Carr's 2023 numbers in his entire NFL career.
If we had ran Jacobs out of town and kept Carr, Raiders would be no worse off than they are now, and might have made the playoffs (if he didn't get concussed twice here).

What's bad is that I commented on here that there were people on x stating that very thing and my post got deleted for pointing out that there were people saying that.heavyD wrote Fri Dec 29, 2023 10:33 am:ESPN did post this article "Russell Wilson’s benching and the casual disrespect of Black quarterbacks".

Well "racist" crap aside, wilson has finally spoken up.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Russell Wilson said that in the days after he helped orchestrate the Denver Broncos' first win over the Kansas City Chiefs since 2015, team officials approached him to adjust a salary guarantee in his contract, and if he didn't, he would be "benched for the rest of the year.''
Coach Sean Payton announced Wednesday that Wilson lost his starting job in favor of Jarrett Stidham for Sunday's home game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Payton has said it was strictly a decision based "on winning" and "to get a spark offensively."
But Wilson said Friday the Broncos approached him about waiving a guarantee in the five-year, $242.6 million contract he signed in 2022 that would give the veteran quarterback, who already is guaranteed $39 million in 2024 whether he is on the team or not, another $37 million (his 2025 salary) guaranteed if he could not pass a physical on the fifth day of the new league year in March.

I think any sane person knows Russ getting benched has 0% to do with him being black.heavyD » Fri Dec 29, 2023 5:34 pm
He can't complete balls down the the middle of the field. If you look at his passing maps, the bulk of his completions are all outside the numbers. It's why he's been able to put up stats but not wins as situationally you have to have a QB that can complete passes all over the field and not just outside the numbers.JTRaider wrote Fri Dec 29, 2023 3:34 pm:My understanding is those are solid stats, but he does not pass the eye test at all.
Very few Bronco fans are questioning the decision from all I see, even after the stretch of wins and beating the Chiefs.
