It would be a total shocker to see starting quarterback Derek Carr play anything more than a series in the Oakland Raiders’ first preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals this evening. Given that he’s coming off a season-ending injury, Carr may not play at all. But what can we except to see out of his backups in EJ Manuel and Connor Cook?
Manuel is a former first-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in the 2013 NFL Draft out of Florida State. He was the only quarterback taken in the first round in that historically atrocious draft. It’s okay, most teams did a terrible job in that first round.
