Derek Carr already has a relationship with new Raiders offensive coordinator Todd Downing that the quarterback could not have with the departed Bill Musgrave. A lot of that has to do with their age and personality differences — at 36, Downing is 13 years younger than Musgrave and has more of an outspoken, rah-rah personality like Carr’s.
