Are hits, injuries weighing on Derek Carr's mind?

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Remember when Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was seen as a gunslinger in the mold of ultimate maverick Brett Favre?

Carr, whose No. 4 jersey was inspired by Favre, never saw an eye of a needle he didn't want to thread. Never believed there was a throw he could not make. Never shied away from, well, gunning the ball into double or triple coverage.

 

That was before the fractured pinkie on his passing hand. Before the fractured right fibula. Before the three broken bones in his back. Injuries all suffered within a 10-plus-month period from Nov. 27, 2016, to Oct. 1, 2017.

 

Human nature being what it is, and given what can be perceived as conservative play, would you blame Carr if the injuries are weighing on his mind a tad?

Josh needs to learn from Gary Anderson he stepped up in the pocket and three for some good passing yards!  I think Josh will be fine in time!

Learn from Gary Anderson?  Are we cutting Hauschka?

Let me guess....you're a Raiders fan who moved to Rochester and you think stealing Lamonica wasn't enough.

The Lamonica era Raiders were a damn good football organization, despite Al Davis.  This era's s*** show doesn't deserve mention as a viable and professional organization.

As for Carr?  No, he cries.

THERE'S NO CRYING IN FOOTBALL!!

NO.

 

I wouldn't even give up next years 2nd.

 

I bet he goes somewhere for a 3rd or 4th because of that albatross contract.

That depends.

 

Will the Raiders be willing to supply us with a lifetime supply of mascarra for him to wear?

 

If not, I am only willing to give up a 7th.
