Not gonna happen with that schedule.They'll be lucky to go 2-4 in their own division and they'll lose all 4 against the NFC West. They won't beat New England, either. That would already put them under .500, but I highly doubt they win ALL of the remaining games against the Jets, Texans, Dolphins, Browns and Bills. They'll likely drop 2 or 3 of those easier games.

4-12 is likely, with 6-10 being their ceiling. Mckenzie and Allen will be canned. Hire new coach and GM, repeat in 3 years.

Wut? Hayden looks like a player, he's a bust 'cause he got hurt?

What does "looks like a player" mean? Because he sure as hell didn't look GOOD last year.

Good move by the Raiders. I think he can be everything his brother was supposed to be and better.

Moght as well just play him asap, see what he's got. Same goes with Bortles, no point in letting the guy sit.

Yep, it's not like they have their sights set on the playoffs this year.

I think it's important for rookies to sit and learn for a year. Not always a necessity but I think it helps. Carr is from my hometown area. Was in our division in high school. He tore us a new one. I'll follow his carrer and root for him unless he's playing us. Sucks he had to be a raider.

I'm one of the few 49er fans that doesn't mind when the Raiders are good, makes it a lot more fun to hate them...just think it's good for the NFL for the Raiders to be in Oakland and do well. Liked Carr at FS, surprised the Raides making this move but am anxious to see how it works out. Raiders still won't be real good this year but hopefully they'll improve and Carr doesn't have one of those horrible rookie QB seasons where he gets battered and it ruins the guy...like his brother.

If Gino was able to carve them up, can't wait to see what mediocre QB's are going to do to them

Lol. I'm glad we had him for his best season.
