New Oakland Raiders general manager Mike Mayock expressed his support for Derek Carr on Wednesday.
"I think Derek Carr is a franchise quarterback," Mayock said at the NFL combine. "I truly believe that. Now do I also believe it is a general manager/head coach job to improve any position on the football team? Sure. I think it is really difficult to try and improve over a franchise quarterback like the one we have in our building right now."
While Mayock noted that the Raiders are "pretty good" at quarterback with Carr and backup AJ McCarron, he said the Raiders have plenty of work to do at the combine and throughout the offseason.
