Report: Raiders tab Derek Carr as starting quarterback

Derek Carr

The Raiders are going with a rookie at quarterback to begin the regular season.

Fox’s Jay Glazer reports the Raiders have switched starters in advance of Sunday’s opener at the Jets, with Derek Carr getting the nod over Matt Schaub.

According to Glazer, players have been informed of the decision.

The call to go with Carr comes after the second-round pick from Fresno State completed 11-of-13 passes for 143 yards and three TDs in the preseason finale vs. Seattle. Schaub sat out the game with elbow soreness.

Schaub, whom the Raiders acquired from Houston in the offseason, was just 24-of-47 passing for 218 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in exhibition play. He was sacked three times.

Crediting Bortles for a win after he threw 3 INTs in the game?

Did you credit Smith last year in his "just win" start to the 2013 season where he threw for 0 TDs in 5 of those games?

The NFL is crediting him with one, so the rest of us can probably do it, too.

The WR corps is WORSE than KC Corps and is headed by an AGING JAMES JONES. idiocy of you and the qb position knows no limit

Raiders have a bunch of receivers that are mostly #3 on most teams... And virtually no TE to throw to.

The Raiders are playing decent it's just they are being beat by teams that are just flat out better than they are .

Sparano is getting the most from this team but it is not enough, You still have to have the talent to get it done and they don't have it.

With the first pick in the 2015 NFL Draft the Raiders trade their pick to?

Raiders need a couple fatties on the DL, plus pass rushing DE, Corners, Safeties, WR's, and RBs.

Wonder if Hayden is going to pan out eventually? That will help a little but you are right about the D.... Until the Raiders can consistently play defense at a high level, this team is going nowhere.

Mack is gonna be a good player for a long time.. Sio Moore was a good pick, Roach being out hurts the D bad...

Every QB in the NFL that plays us sits out there and plays catch with their receivers, Palmer was like 12/13 at one point.
You can't possibly expect to win like that.

We have no WR's that can fight off the line, Most defenses are living off disrupting the timing at the line while sending xtra guys in to rush Carr... The only way to beat a rush is to burn their asses but you can't burn anyone when your receiver is standing up vertical on the line fighting corners add that to our dismal TE situation and you have about nothing on offense...

DMC is a capable back but he can only do so much, teams can easily stay home against the run on us because they know we can't catch the damn ball half the time even when it is delivered.

The good news is we have a mountain of cash again this off season and a full slate of picks (I think) , We don't need a QB for once and we can actually use that #1 pick to trade for a boatload of picks to get this team really young and talented but we are still talking probably 3 years if everything goes right unless a miracle happens.

Not really the point. Bortles did his best to give that game away. 3 INTs is terrible. His defense said "**** you Rookie!" and took it to the Browns.

I was told the raiders made good draft picks and are turning things around now that Al is dead. Yea thats the ticket

My name is Derek Carr. Nothing says "I've arrived" quite like a loss to the Cleveland Browns. It's ok, I helped put up 13 points--7 of which were in garbage time. I'm quickly approaching Brodie Croyle's career record as a starter and today I made sure of that by fumbling away any realistic attempt of a comeback. Despite those previously mentioned end-of-game garbage stats, I had a brutal YPA o 6.1 and a horrendous YPC of 9.6. Still living up to my name of Dump-it Derek!!!

Now, let's hear from my loser fans making loser excuses for my loser dumb ass.

He's playing OK he has no one on that team. That whole team is terrible. Cleveland is also 4-3. That aren't a bad team

I know, right? What's his problem? He has that solid running game, clutch receivers and a solid defense to boot! That Carr...when will he shape up?

I got 99 problems and a Carr ain't one.
