Despite the vast amount of evidence that Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is an above average, if not an elite quarterback, there have been doubters about his ability to lead without a No.1 option. During his first five seasons at the helm of the Raiders, Carr has put his team on his back on numerous occasions, even breaking it in the process.
Still, there are those who feel the Raiders may move in a new direction next season, but this summer, it is clear that won’t be the case. Carr has become the unquestioned leader of this Raiders team, and has the full faith, and support of his head coach, Jon Gruden.
