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/ |

Alex has played scared his whole career. Doesn't matter if it was SF or KC. You need more evidence confirming your worst fears because you refuse to accept the truth that's right in front of you.

You are the most vocal whiner about this topic. The better you present your case with credible evidence the more people will take you serious. Until then you might as well accept that people don't put much stock into what you say. |

And don't give me the hater nonsense, either, because I'm not an Alex Smith groupie, and I don't think he's anything more than a competent QB. When a QB has a great day and his team loses, we don't blame the QB unless he completely shits himself at the end, the way a guy like Cutler is wont to do. You can give him that game, and look at others instead. For all the bitching about "Any criticism of Alex", you and yours pull the same thing about "Any praise or defense of Alex". |

And regarding your last line, that's completely bullshit considering I've personally given him credit for the way he played in the first half of the playoff game, as well as how he played in the SD game and parts of the Denver game. I've had no trouble praising him - but I'm not going to do it over a 180/1/0 performance just because he didn't turn the ball over. |

Facts about he has played his whole career. Do you think it's just coincidence he sucked on third down in SF and in KC? That he refused to throw down the field in both cities? JUST HAPPENED FOR NO REASONS AT ALL MAN

It's very dramatic.
It's a tragedy. Four years of tragedy perpetrated upon the good people of Kansas City once again. I will weep silently for them.

Suit yourself. I should have known better than to think you wanted to actually have a discussion.

The Smiff Haters.... Alex can come or go, I can take him or leave him, makes zero difference to me. This Franchise is not commited to winning a Super Bowl therefore I dont have to be committed as fan... Alex or not, we are not winning anything in the next 5+ years. So all the yardbirds whining about Smith are becoming comical. |

Sooo. back to the OP. If we put alot of pressure on Carr, I think we'll be ok in our first matchup. Second meeting, our secondary better have a qlue.

You will never win anything playing it safe. Look at all the super bowls that have been won. How many qbs like Alex have won anything?
