Raiders 2023: A complete change in the quarterback room

This was so predictable.

Josh McDaniels is famous for wanting his types of quarterbacks. It’s been that way his entire coaching career and that’s why he created a storm when he wanted Matt Cassel, who was with him in New England, instead of Jay Cutler when he became the Denver Broncos head coach in 2009. He ended up with neither during his rocky 28-game tenure in Colorado.

McDaniels, at least, kept his inherited quarterback in Las Vegas for one season. But, now, as he enters his second season, he will have a completely new quarterback room and Derek Carr remains the only veteran quarterback he’s coached in Las Vegas that he didn’t previously work with sans a short stint by Chase Garbers.
