Are the Oakland Raiders fully convinced that Derek Carr is their best option at quarterback moving forward as the team prepares for their move to Las Vegas?
Two years ago, the Raiders were beyond excited about the hiring of Jon Gruden since his previous history of working with quarterbacks seemed like it would benefit Carr in one of the best ways possible.
This could very well still turn out to be the case for Carr and Gruden, but two years in, Oakland was hoping for better results.
Even if the argument can be made these two deserve some credit since the Raiders were technically still in the AFC playoff race leading up to Week 17, it still doesn’t take away from the disappointment surrounding Carr and Gruden from the previous two seasons.
The good news for the Raiders heading into their first season in Las Vegas when looking at some of the young talent to work with from the previous draft, there are plenty of reasons to believe the team could break out as a contender in the AFC during the 2020 season.
But if Carr and Gruden fail to live up to the hype once again, don’t be surprised if the Raiders start to weigh out potential future options at the quarterback position.
