Doubt we get another producer like Brees in our lifetime

Agreed.

The one time that Carr actually had a decent team around him with the Raiders was in 2016. He had the team at 12-3 and suffered a broken leg in game 15. Connor Cook and Matt McGloin took over at QB and they lost in the first round.

Carr's only chance in a playoff game was in 2021 with the 30th ranked defense facing Joe Burrow in the Wild Card game. They lost by seven.

Our defense is far superior than anything Carr had during his entire career with the Raiders. He's definitely not a Brees v2.0, but he gives us a far better shot than any other option we may have for years to come.
