They rushed him back from a serious back injury that I don't think he ever fully recovered from. Really dumb and shortsighted.

Local radio had it more of Carr coming back early

Derek didn't look right even before the back injury. Something changed after he fractured his ankle last year. He hasn't been able to keep his eyes downfield with pressure around him. He had an awkward showing vs WAS, and that was before the back injury. I think he's got the yips.

My boss is a big Raiders fan and follows them religiously. He contends that the anthem protest hoop-la with Lynch has fractured the locker room and is a significant factor in mucking up their team. Initially, I dismissed this theory out of hand, but I'm thinking about it more and more.

When Kaep started doing it, the protest consumed the narrative around our team.

But back to the Raiders... are they a flash in the pan (last year) or will they be fine? I can't really put my finger on it. Did Mack and Carr really go from elite to mediocre in once season?

Carr definitely yes...Mack no. He still gets pressure on the QB and disrupts running plays. Sometimes gets tripled teamed. I would love to have Mack in red and gold.

I'm really hoping Gruden gets back into coaching. Don't know why, but he's really irritating to me now as a broadcaster. I must be getting old.
