ALAMEDA — After the Raiders’ Week One loss, Jon Gruden declared that his quarterback, Derek Carr, wasn’t being aggressive enough.
The way Gruden saw it, in that Monday night game against the Rams, there were chances to push the ball downfield that the dinking-and-dunking Carr missed. Those were chances that, if taken, might have given the Raiders a chance to win that game.
Carr accepted the note in stride and improved in Week Two.
But after Sunday’s Week Three loss in South Florida, Gruden was bemoaning a different problem with his quarterback: Carr was too aggressive against the Dolphins, and he threw away the game with his two interceptions.
