Quarterback

Derek Carr

Derek Carr is the clear choice here. Carr has been the quarterback for the Raiders for over half of this decade, and he has taken over the franchise’s record book. Carr is the all-time leader in passing yards with 22,402 yards and ranks third in touchdowns with 142, only 8 behind Raiders legend Ken Stabler.

Say what you want about Carr, but the small bit of success that this team has had in the past ten years has come from Carr. Other quarterbacks for the team in this time were Jason Campbell, Carson Palmer, and Terrell Pryor, so selecting Carr from this group was not that hard, no matter where you fall on your support for him.

While there have not been a ton of wins under Carr, there have been special moments, and in his second season in Jon Gruden’s system in 2019, he had a solid statistical season. Of course, until he leads this team to the playoffs again, the fan base is going to remain divided, and it looks like he is going to get another shot to do so in 2020 in Las Vegas.
