One day after new Oakland Raiders general manager Mike Mayock stated that Derek Carr was a franchise quarterback, head coach Jon Gruden doubled down. In his interview before the media at the NFL Combine, Gruden spoke glowingly about Carr, and hopefully the conversation about them moving in another direction at quarterback can be put to rest.
Speaking with the media, Gruden did not mince words when discussing who his quarterback is for the 2019 season, and possibly beyond. That man is Derek Carr, who at only 27-years old, is on the brink of being the most prolific quarterback in team history, statistically.
