Don't kill the messenger...

Food for thought. Is Derek Carr as good as Tua? NO. Is he one of, if not, the most durable QB in the league.. Yes. Not as accurate as Tua but he's got an arm and can sling the rock.

Carr in this offense could easily get to 4,000 yards and 30 TDs.

Tua's my guy but I cannot see us going into next year with Tua and some Brissett/Skylar/Teddy-type backup. I think we're all tired of that. This offense is too good, too ready NOW.

I'd love to bring Carr in for a 1 year deal and let the 2 guys compete it out. Don't forget, Tua is on his rookie deal so he's not getting "paid" yet.

Plus, guys in Carr's situation sometimes like getting 1 year deals to showcase what they can do, and then leverage that to a massive payday the next year.

Too bad about your Raiders!
 
Lot of QB threads lately and I think we’re forgetting the flip side.

If Tua rocks in a healthy 2023 season and McD brought in another starter to replace him for the 3rd time, he sure as **** isn’t resigning here.

Edit - I posted after the TItans game last year that there’s no way Tua resigns if Flores is still here and he got fired as soon as season ended. Ross and Grier took the heat that he “can’t” work with them but I think the bigger problem was Tua couldn’t work with him. McD can’t burn that bridge he carefully built with Tua imo.

I chuckle at these comments.. “if Tua is healthy in 2023”…. Respectfully, you’re lying to yourself. Tua has been injured every single year since college. And that was “just” his body.. now concussion-prone.. recipe for disaster

Just being a realistic

we just can’t afford another big contract and Carr won’t be cheap and he's not going anywhere just to be a backup

We‘ll be trimming a lot of fat this off-season. Not to mention, we all know the cap is bullshit lol

we only have 2 or 3 players that we can cut that we'd get cap space from.....Jones,Crossen and Baker......if we cut all 3 it'd leave us with 32 players under contract and about 13mill of cap space.......now we need another 21 players to reach 53....you do the math and the cap is not BS.....you start kicking the can down the road and you'll end up in cap hell.
 
No one, absolutely no one, is trading for that Carr contract. Most obvious cut of the offseason.
