Why would a QB who has been in the league what 11 years have by far his most consistent season behind the worst oline he has ever played behind? Are offensive linemen just coming into the league a lot more polished and ready to start than ever before and the draft pick will be so good he can cover two rushers while switching to left tackle?

Would you care to also promise that Ryan Ramczyk is going to play 17 games and make the all pro team?

The best defense that Carr ever had with the Raiders was ranked 25th in the league. Most years they were among the two or three worst. Carr easily played well enough to make the playoffs and win multiple games almost every year had he even an average defense.
