Jets definitely seem like a quality landing spot. They might not be SB bound just by adding a competent QB, but if they had one this year, they'd have at least made them playoffs.

Ah I see, thanks for the explanation.

Nevertheless, mistakes were made.

I 100% agree. And at this point I suspect Carr would gladly give up some money to be on a true Superbowl caliber team.

Brady hasn’t been the top paid QB in forever. He basically takes $25m per year and makes sure part of his pay cut goes toward an OLine that keeps him clean every game and that is how he’s simultaneously played games and drawn social security checks.

I think Carr watched Matthew Stafford go from an entire career of “next year is our year” with Detroit to a Super Bowl ring with the Rams and Carr wants to try and change his legacy in the same way.

If I were Carr I would get cut, go to the Jets for $25m and take them to the playoffs. Jetts have an insanely loyal fanbase and that’s a legit NY team. The advertising opportunities would pour in if he just wins the AFC. They have a top 5 defense, tons of young skill players and a good O line and solid coaching.

In two years he would basically be neighbors with McDaniels again when McDaniels is fired and goes back home to be his daddy’s OC in New England.

Yeah, seriously.

This is something I always wonder about with teams that aren’t already stacked going out and trading for a 1st or 2nd tier QB. That QB has to realize that between his cap hit and the assets his new team is giving up, they’re going to be limited in their ability to build the team around them. It’s one thing if you’re a Rodgers type that’s going to play another year or two and ride off into the sunset, because you don’t care about those draft picks nearly as much, but if you’re Carr, why would you choose to handcuff your new team even more?

Stunning and brave!

So what. He plays well. That is all that counts

Where can I get a Barilla Pasta hat?

OP was talking about the last penalty, and Greg Olson’s calling of it.

Your point of bringing up the halftime show was showing evidence of how “Wild” the Super Bowl is. What about the halftime show made last night wild?

He’s not going to get drastically less. He has made a ton of money playing for shitty organizations already.

He watched his brother have a career ended before it began because of a shitty organization’s incompetence.

I imagine if you told Carr that he could make $35m & $40m playing for Raiders/McDaniels and missing the playoffs the next two years or make $25m both years but on a super bowl contending team he would take the $25m.

It’s not just the money and playoff opportunities. He will get extra years if he plays somewhere that he isn’t killed behind a shitty O-line every game.

Plus, if he is on a team making playoff runs each year he’ll get extended. But on a team that misses the playoff because of a lot of one score losses (like Raiders this year) he is not getting extended and is being blamed for organizational failures that are out of his control (exactly what happened with the Raiders this year).

Raiders have made it clear they are moving on at QB. That means they will cut him because no NFL team can afford to pay a backup QB $35m. Especially not while paying the starter top money. The Raiders have no good rookie QBs on their roster so they are looking at veterans (Rodgers seems to be their preference) and that’s expensive.

Hell, look at how many of the playoff teams have QBs on their rookie deal, which allows for more money going to the rest of the roster. Jalen Hurts, Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, you get the point. I’m not going to include Brock Purdy or Trey Lance here because the 49ers couldn’t unload Jimmy G last year and had his contact on the books.

When the Chiefs paid Mahomes they had to make decisions for who, ultimately, would not get paid and that cost them Tyreek Hill.

There is just no way that Raiders keep him as a backup.

What is possible is that the Raiders run into a situation where they don’t get anyone better and don’t cut him and have to bring him back for a lame duck year similar to what happened with San Francisco and Mr Glass (aka, Jimmy G) this past season. However, I think McDaniels wants Carr out of the building as quick as he can get rid of him so that McDaniels might lose some of his competition for Rodgers. Realize that there are only a handful of teams that the top veterans will go to and McDaniels has to compete against those teams for the QBs. I think McDaniels hopes Carr signs with the Jets or Tennessee, which is probably the Raiders’ top competition for Rodgers because those are complete teams with good defense and good coaching that are probably just a QB away from going deep in the playoffs. If one of those sign Carr, then it increases Vegas’s chances of getting Aaron.

Tornado Josh.

Credit to him.

Good for you Jankto. If you can be yourself even when the spotlight is hot… that shows great strength of character.

Will be rooting for you.

What’s really encouraging is that his team and coach are all acting like it’s normal and are being supportive, like it should be.

The consistency part is the one I can agree with the most, for sure. But also, at that point in the game, it was the biggest play in the game. You can't let a game changing penalty go uncalled.

I think, as someone who watches a lot of football, you want to see the SB games called the same way all season. But there's so many casual fans watching the SB that the league doesn't want so many flags.

I’m still not getting the outrage. Olson and Fox showed and commentated on the wrong call. It was an extremely obvious hold when viewed from the angle the refs made the call from, the man’s jersey was stretched over a foot from the hold. I’m decently sure from watching at other angles Patrick Mahomes intentionally threw to the receiver because he saw the hold and knew it was a free play/penalty since juju was beating Bradberry, and if he hadn’t made that throw I still think they would have scored a touchdown that drive by making another play.

The eagles don’t get to win the game when they allow the chiefs to basically go 4/4 on all their drives and score in the second half. All 4 drives could easily have been touchdowns too. The chiefs were the better team and it’s not like the refs gifted it to them. The eagles got plenty of calls too especially with some of the reviewed catches going their way. I still don’t think that goedert catch was a catch personally for example.

Thank you

From an outsiders point of view, that team has been horribly managed for years and has had several massive off the field issues that only threw gas on the fire. Derek has had a carousel of coaches as well. I’m glad he’s sticking it to the team and hope he lands in a great spot next year and thrives.

Do you … do you think that climate scientists don’t publish peer-reviewed research?

Yep. The temperature has always fluctuated

I think you are misreading it if you can’t understand it. If you go back thousands of years the temperatures have always had fluctuations
