The Las Vegas Raiders have a storied history when it comes to the quarterback position, and here are the top-5 signal-callers to ever do it for the franchise.

Going into his eighth season as the starting quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders, Derek Carr has accomplished more, statistically, than any other signal-caller in franchise history. In fact, if the Raiders had won more since the 2014 season, there would be no question that he is the best quarterback the franchise has ever seen.

However, that is a pretty tall mountain to climb, as the Silver and Black have had some of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Guys who took the franchise on their backs and won a ton of games, all the while earning some colorful nicknames along the way, and earning the respect of Raider Nation.

For a team as storied as the Raiders, producing a list of the team’s greatest quarterbacks is quite the undertaking. However, this is how the list of the team’s greatest passers stacks up.
