has been the franchise quarterback for the since he was drafted in 2014, yet the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback has had plenty of doubters over the years. Carr has provided the stability at quarterback the Raiders have lacked since Rich Gannon was leading the franchise to deep playoff runs in the early 2000s, but every offseason, there's talk of whether he'll be the starting quarterback for the only NFL franchise he's ever played for.Carr has a 49-63 record as an NFL quarterback, which isn't terrible considering the state of the Raiders franchise since the team went to Super Bowl XXXVII at the end of the 2002 season. Prior to Carr's selection in the 2014 NFL Draft Green Bay Packers Jersey , the Raiders won 49 games over 10 seasons. One of the worst franchises in the NFL over the last two decades, the Raiders have been competitive with Carr -- even making the playoffs in 2016 (the franchise's only playoff appearance since 2002). NO QB #4 CMP%66.7YDs817TD4INT1YD/Att8.78 Carr is off to Devonte Wyatt Jersey a hot start as the Raiders have an opportunity to go 3-0 for the first time since their Super Bowl appearance in 2002. In this week's edition of "By The Numbers," we look at Carr's hot start and his early-season MVP case -- along with his ranking among the quarterbacks in Raiders history.Derek Carr -- 817 -- 689 -- 680 -- 675 -- 655 -- 65 -- 64Derek Carr -- 62Justin Herbert -- 62 -- 58Derek Carr -- 93Jared Goff -- 93Justin Herbert -- 88Tom Brady -- 86Dak Prescott -- 85Carr ranks 21st in completion percentage (66.7%), but keep in mind the season is only two weeks old. He's tied for ninth in touchdown pa ses (four), and his 34 first-down pa ses are tied for third in the league. Carr's 8.8 yards per attempt also rank in the top 10 (eighth), while his 104.1 pa ser rating is 13th. Carr is off to a stronger start than Rich Gannon in his 2002 MVP season for the Raiders, which was also the last time the franchise went to the Super Bowl. Not only did Carr set the franchise record for pa sing yards (817) in a two-game stretch, but he also broke Gannon's record from that 2002 season (784). In Gannon's MVP season, he averaged 308.5 pa s yards per game through the first two games (Carr is at 408.5) while throwing three touchdowns to three interceptions (Carr has four touchdowns to one interception). The Raiders -- coincidentally -- are also off to a 2-0 start.Let's take a look at Carr' Isaac Yiadom Jersey s ranks among quarterbacks over the last five years. -- 18,530Tom Brady -- 18,277Jared Goff -- 17,666 -- 17,607Kirk Cousins -- 16,854Derek Carr -- 16,519Drew Brees -- 72.84%Kirk Cousins -- 67.95% -- 67.85%Derek Carr -- 67.32%Matt Ryan -- 66.46%Carr is one of just one of six quarterbacks to throw for 20 pa sing touchdowns and fewer than 10 interceptions in each of the last two years, joining Drew Brees, Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, , and . All those quarterbacks have been to the playoffs in each of those years and won playoff games in one of those two seasons -- except Carr.Carr has the fifth-most pa sing yards (8,974), fifth-highest completion percentage (68.7%) and 10th-best quarterback rating (101.3) since the start of the 2019 season, but he Aaron Rodgers Jersey also has the second-most interceptions returned for a touchdown (four). Plus, being the quarterback on a team that allowed the second-most points and the third-most penalties over the last two seasons haven't helped. The Raiders were 15-17 with two late-season collapses for a reason. Regardle s, Carr continues to play well for the Raiders as he enters his 30s, as he's the franchise's all-time pa sing leader in several categories.Derek Carr -- 27,713Ken Stabler -- 19,078Rich Gannon -- 17,585Daryle Lamonica -- 16,655Jim Plunkett -- 12,665Derek Carr -- 174Ken Stabler -- 150Daryle Lamonica -- 148Rich Gannon -- 114Tom Flores -- 92Derek Carr -- 92.4Rich Gannon Bronson Kaufusi Jersey -- 91.2Jeff Hostetler -- 82.1Ken Stabler -- 80.2Kerry Collins -- 76.1Carr does not have a playoff victory, or even a playoff start (he mi sed the Raiders' playoff game in 2016 with a broken fibula), on his resume, but he has been a stabilizing force during a dark era for a prestigious franchise. (He has mi sed just two regular-season games in his eight-year career.) Certainly underappreciated around the league, the numbers show Carr is definitely in the top-10 quarterback conversation, as well as one of the best quarterbacks the Raiders have ever had. |
