If quarterback Derek Carr wants to return to the Las Vegas Raiders next season, as he has said, he hasn't done much the past month to help his case.
He hasn't completed more than 55% of his passes in any of his past four games, and he's thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes over that span.and at Pittsburgh that have knocked them out of serious playoff contention. Las Vegas is behind four other bubble teams for the postseason with two weeks remaining.
"For us to be able to win at this time of the year and be productive, offensively you have to throw the ball better than what we've thrown at times here in the last month and a half," McDaniels said."We've been able to win some in spite of that, overall, but clearly that's not the goal. The goal would be to be more productive than what we've been.
A serious injury over the final two games would mean Carr receives the $33 million, so there would be incentive to bench a struggling quarterback and not risk him getting hurt."I think there's a possibility that we would do the right thing regardless of the position," McDaniels said.Carr has been at least an above-average quarterback over his nine years, and he willed the Raiders into the postseason last year with a late run.
