Raiders news: Derek Carr listed among dark-horse NFL MVP candidates

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is entering what many see as a year that will define the rest of his career. If he rises to the occasion and leads the Raiders to the playoffs then he will likely be the franchise quarterback for the foreseeable future.

If he slips and is unable to galvanize the Silver and Black in their first year in Las Vegas, then the Raiders have a ready made replacement for him already on the team in Marcus Mariota. Carr has been the unquestioned starter since his rookie year in 2014 and has become an incredibly divisive figure among Raider Nation.
