Derek Carr's rise is bad news for Chiefs on more than one front

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Derek Carr of the Oakland Raiders is emerging as the best quarterback from the 2014 draft and that's not good news for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Carr, with 2,094 yards, 19 touchdowns and four interceptions, is the NFL's sixth-rated passer. He's behind only Tom Brady, Andy Dalton, Carson Palmer, Tyrod Taylor and Aaron Rodgers, so he's in good company. He's ahead of, among others, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger and, of course, Alex Smith.
