And just a year ago you were thinking about winning the West!
All it took was dumping Carr to send you spiraling into depression.
I expected a wild card berth in 2022.
I never expected to win the West. But 11-6 was a reasonable hope.
But this current management has no clue at all. They signed players to extensions and cut them loose a year later for no return or pennies on the dollar.
Now the planned QB is Hopalong Cassidy. And their backup plan is hoping a washed Brady decides to return.
Why shouldn't I be depressed? The team has become Patriots West (Great Value Edition) and the owner has no clue at all.
Meanwhile, the best team in football with the best coach, QB, and GM reside in the division. [Reply]

I have no optimism.
Why do you need Williams? Your HC is on record stating that he could turn any QB into an All Pro. Trade for someone like Trubisky or Malik Willis. Then only the Broncos would have a non elite QB in the division. [Reply]

In their defense though they have yet to play Denver in 2023. That's starting to become as much of a sure thing win for them that it is for KC. [Reply]

Because when McBugel gets the axe, we'll, hopefully, have a QB. [Reply]

I didn't get that opportunity. So, it definitely lit a fire inside me to keep going."
Carr was asked if he would have let bygones be bygones if the Raiders had changed their mind and wanted to keep him moving forward. He answered no, because the whole situation made his wife cry.
"Once they made my wife cry, that was pretty much over," Carr said. "Once they made her cry, that was out. But the love for my teammates is what probably would have made me do it. But the way it worked out and the timing of things, I was just ... it was time for me to move on. But who knows? You never know what will happen."
