Now we work on consistency and the ability to produce at a credible (if unspectacular) level against quality NFL tackles.
The Raiders game is a HUGE litmus test. He'll have a week to get healthy and it will be the most critical game the Chiefs have played this season. The Raiders, weirdly, have given Carr excellent protection this season. Carr has taken the fewest hits of any QB in the league and has been sacked the second fewest times.
Lets see if our boy can make a difference. The argument has been that Clark was acquired for his impact in the playoffs - well this game should be damn near playoff importance. And it's a matchup that is not statistically in his favor. Let's see if he can go out there and kick the ass we were told he could kick.

Why's that weird? They've got some really good individual talent on that line.
