It's Raiders week and I really don't care about them that much. I hate their fans. I hate their stadium. I hate everything about them. But I'm jealous. I'm jealous of the Raiders for the second time in my entire life. The first was with Rich Gannon, who we threw away. We know the story and what they went on to do.
But this week I'm jealous of them for the second time in my life.
I can't believe that John Dorsey passed on a QB that reminds me a lot of what makes Aaron Rodgers good. Great arm. Great leadership. Great feet. Just needs coaching.
I'm looking back at the Senior Bowl last year and am seeing the following statements about this young man:
"Derek carr's velocity, especially in the gusty wind, was once again impressive. When it comes to arm strength, he really has no competition."
"Carr looked very athletic in an escape drill showcasing his impression footwork."
I saw tweets like this that made me appreciate him
@nfldraftscout: Derek Carr won me over at the Senior Bowl...where he stayed after practice every day to get extra reps with new WRs.
@ryanlownes: @JimmyKempski Ran routes for Derek Carr after practice every day at the Senior Bowl. No shortage of work ethic or competitiveness.
And then I remember us this tweet on the day of the draft:
@KanCityChiefFan: Mort: Kansas City Chiefs are a sleeper QB team in 2014 NFL Draft - Arrowhead Pride (blog) http://t.co/Pn0XVl203s
I thought this regime would be different. I really did. I didn't mind Alex as a stop gap while we developed a guy like GB did with Rodgers, but it's always the same with this franchise.
Now we have to watch the team we all hate with a good looking QB of the future that we should have drafted.
Such is life as a Chiefs fan.. [Reply]

Your excuses are pathetic. He is a young QB who has got better every year. You guys are hamstrung by garbage QB's and have wasted many good defenders and RB's over the years because is it. Keep thinking retreads like Foles will get you somewhere. [Reply]

Carr really does seem to be coming on very well. What happens when he gets hurt ? [Reply]

Not true. He's no franchise guy but that's a four win team w out him just like Denver if they lost Von. Chiefs lost versions of both and are fine. [Reply]

Chiefs are fools gold and you know it. You know the Raiders future is a lot brighter even though you wouldn't admit it. You will just go to your excuses of made up BS. Probably luck, refs and rigged league like all vagina fart fans seem to go to. [Reply]

Denver was a fraud. I can admit when a rival wins a legit title...hence the respect for the Cubs as a Cardinal fan. True champions get respect. Faid have potential to be that legit team. [Reply]

What future? Carr and Cooper aren't as daunting as you want us to believe and Crabtree is a scrub against any good defense. His repaired achilles restricts him and he is getting old.
For such an expensive o line the run game is pretty lame [Reply]
