Raiders name Derek Carr starting QB
Report: Raiders tab Derek Carr as starting quarterback
Posted by Mike Wilkening on September 1, 2014, 6:21 PM EDT Derek Carr The Raiders are going with a rookie at quarterback to begin the regular season. Fox’s Jay Glazer reports the Raiders have switched starters in advance of Sunday’s opener at the Jets, with Derek Carr getting the nod over Matt Schaub. According to Glazer, players have been informed of the decision. The call to go with Carr comes after the second-round pick from Fresno State completed 11-of-13 passes for 143 yards and three TDs in the preseason finale vs. Seattle. Schaub sat out the game with elbow soreness. Schaub, whom the Raiders acquired from Houston in the offseason, was just 24-of-47 passing for 218 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in exhibition play. He was sacked three times. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...g-quarterback/ |

I like the kid and I think he has franchise QB potential. I never bought that he was his brother, but like Foles, it is way premature to crown him yet. Lets talk in January and see how his rookie year goes. |

To be fair, his first touchdown drive was against Seattle's starters. We're just shocked to see someone out there that looks like an NFL QB.

Defense actually made some plays with some help from the Jets shooting themselves in the foot, but offense had a horrible day.

Through 3 games:

Can't say I like losing, especially like we did today but Carr is the future and will be a great NFL QB for many years..

It's not really his fault at all. Raiders have almost nothing out there for him to throw to. He did throw the ball short a few times on a couple of deep passes today though. Got some completions against Revis as well.
