The timing is right in terms of the contract, but I'm not yet convinced the timing is right for the QB talent available in the top tier of the draft. Lots of draft gurus out there saying they think the 2024 QBs will offer better players. What do we have in Stidham--can he be a one-year bridge? Will there be any worthwhile QB free agents next year? There is still lots of college ball left, maybe someone will clearly stand out above the rest. So many variables. QB hell sucks.HesterLayes wrote Sat Nov 19, 2022 8:56 am:Not saying you’re wrong,but I think that would be the wrong move.We need to get from under that contract and next year is the window.

The whole point of getting rid of Carr is to quit paying a mid QB 30-40 mil and use that money on the rest of the team.I don’t think keeping him next year as a bridge QB Is financially smart. You could get three to four defensive guys with that money.Atlasffa wrote Sat Nov 19, 2022 3:27 pm:The timing is right in terms of the contract, but I'm not yet convinced the timing is right for the QB talent available in the top tier of the draft.

Don’t do that. Don’t make me hope.Sold My Soul wrote Sat Nov 19, 2022 2:03 pm:According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the Raiders could consider releasing Carr during the offseason in order to avoid paying the final three years of his contract. This would be an easy transition, as Carr’s contract features zero future guaranteed money.
The Raiders have a short window to make up their mind, as Carr has a $7.5 million bonus that is guaranteed as long as he’s still on the roster three days after Super Bowl LVII. While cutting him altogether would incur a $5 million cap penalty no matter what, that’s a small amount if the Raiders already have other ideas at the QB position.

Agree. Not sure the staff know it or not but this season is done.Archaic wrote Sat Nov 19, 2022 3:34 pm:Carr is done. I say bench him (or release him from the team) now and see what Stidham can do for the next 7 games. This way the Raiders will know whether Stidham is skilled enough to be the 2023 starter.

Single cab. No lift stock wheels and tires. Kind of a beige or gold one tone paint job with the trim deleted. I loved that truck but unfortunately the transmission blew when I was in a tough financial situation.Sold My Soul wrote Sat Nov 19, 2022 5:31 pm:Mopar guy. I like it.

Haha, the tranny was on borrowed time after I tuned the fuel pump on my engine. The A-518 was just a 727 modified for diesel with an overdrive slapped on it. Not purpose built for that kind of torque. It never stood a chance.

Honestly, until we can get a top 15 ranked defense I don’t think we can fairly judge our #18th ranked scoring offense. Let’s sing kumbaya, put out some amazing chakras for our star player who is feeling his emotions right now. Than when the offseason comes we fire Mcflurry and make this place a happy meal. Otherwise how can our delicate flower grow16 to 88 » Sat Nov 19, 2022 9:52 pm
Something I failed to mention is I doubt highly he has the support of the locker room. If anything they would love to see him gone. Davis would obviously know this as well...Willmark wrote Sat Nov 19, 2022 6:30 am:I posted a couple of days ago that it appears that his contract looks like a compromise between the FO and Davis with the way it’s structured.
That said I can easily see Davis changing course and mandating that Carr be brought back. In fact I fully expect that to happen. We’ve heard about “players coaches” we have a “players owner.”
Sucks, but it is what it is.
