Derek Carr
Pro – The guy is a leader and a winner when he has the talent around him. His teammates love playing for him and he seems like a guy who wouldn’t have issues handing the ball off 65% of the time if he had too. The Raiders could have easily crumbled this year with everything going on, but Carr kept them together and brought them to the playoffs.
In 2016, under Carr, the Raiders went 12-3 as a starter before getting hurt. That season he had 28 touchdowns next to only 5 picks before he got hurt.
Cons – He has been in the league since 2014 and has not won a single playoff game. His regular season record is only 57 – 70 as a starter with a whopping 85 interceptions in those 127 games.
Should we make the switch – Yes, he is the one guy on this list that has more talent than Baker and it is obvious. It would also give the Browns a chance to right a terrible wrong from the 2014 NFL draft when they passed over him several times.
He is your answer at QB this season folks!
Stop blaming Baker for our bad offense, The coaching staff is the real reason. Stop coddling the coach, he puts Baker in more losing situations than winning ones. Don’t believe me? How come we don’t use the best running back tandem in the NFL at the same time and make defenses adjust to us. He modeled our impressive offense after the juggernaut Minnesota offense the set what 30 straight NFL records for scoring (he said sarcastically)? Give us a break and call the coaches out, and don’t forget Joe Woods, Not offense, but has constantly failed to stop the other team when the game was on the line.
No on 1 2 3 4 5 6 that’s my reply
Keep Keenum and Mayfield, draft a rookie in lower rounds. QB position is fine as it is. FIx the rest of the offense (except the running backs).
This sounds like the most viable option. Baker has the talent; don’t set him up to fail like the Browns & the Buffalo Bill’s have done for over 20 yrs. And, Get rid of Landry(?). Ok so he had a lacklustre season, or was it they did not have an adequate 1 – 2 punch on receiving positions after OJB left? I never liked him (OBJ) but the 2 of them were productive, I am fairly sure!
