12 completions on 20 attempts for no touchdowns and two interceptions isn’t the stat line that Book had hoped for in his first action. No quarterback, regardless of number of starts, would like to be sacked eight times either. But for Book, that was his reality.

However, he that reality was only temporary for him. As he looks ahead, the Week 16 loss to the Miami Dolphins doesn’t define his goals and drive moving ahead.

“It didn’t go the way any of us wanted it to go.” Book told me on Super Bowl Radio Row last week. “Just to be out there to get the experience, I feel like I learned a lot of the field and [I’m] really excited for next year.” ...

Derek Carr could get closer to a rare feat by beating his former team

Don’t be surprised if the New Orleans Saints play the Las Vegas Raiders season opener. Neither team’s cache is particularly high, so the NFL likely won’t push them as marquee matchup. Derek Carr playing his former team is enough to schedule it as a season opener, even if it’s a 12 noon game. Carr certainly has that game circled.

Toppling his former team would be a form of revenge and also get Carr closer to a rare feat. In his decade-long career, Carr has defeated 27 of the 32 teams in the NFL. That leaves the Raiders as one of five teams the quarterback has never defeated. This will be...

McCarthy at no. 4, the Indianapolis Colts moving up to no. 9 to select LSU receiver Malik Nabers and even the Minnesota Vikings staying put at no. 23 and taking Oregon quarterback Bo Nix in Round 1.
