For anyone who says Carr is just a stat padder and don’t win:

I’m a big confirmation bias guy, probably can tell by my posts lately lol. But I would say this, if we are talking short sighted, then we are talking all of these injuries etc. but if we look long term, Carr has been what he has been his entire career it’s about the same no matter what. To me that’s confirming my bias that has average at best. You can’t possibly be saying for 11 years it’s been everyone elses
Fault but his.

I think Derek Carr’s career has been an enigma. The consistently poor quality of the teams he’s played on have been an enigma. He has played on a lot of bad teams and for bad coaches.

One of the only times in his career when he had solid help surrounding him and healthy, he finished third in MVP voting.

He’s had a strange career arc with unprecedented levels of ineptness surrounding him.

The mere fact that those Raiders teams couldn’t take a “fairly competent”/“decent at worst in his prime” QB like him to the playoffs more than once over such a long period of time points more towards organizational ineptness than a QB problem, JMO.

Just take a look at the Raiders defensive rankings during his time there, for starters.
