Pursuit of NaVorro Bowman means little if Derek Carr, offense keep floundering

OAKLAND, Calif. -- NaVorro Bowman will visit the Oakland Raiders on Monday. And while he might indeed sign and be sitting at a locker in the team’s facility during the media period come 6:45 p.m. PT, it might already be too late to save the season.

Unless Bowman, a four-time All-Pro inside linebacker, can somehow fix what ails the Raiders' purported high-powered offense with a struggling Derek Carr at the controls.

I kid. Kinda.

Because while this might smack of overreaction hot take, unless Carr & Co. get their confidence back and their stuff in order under first-year offensive coordinator Todd Downing, the Raiders could sign Lawrence Taylor, Dick Butkus and Ted Hendricks all in their primes and it wouldn't matter.
