Jack Del Rio saw the highs, lows, and everything in between when it comes to Derek Carr. After all, JDR was DC4’s head coach, once upon a time. For three seasons, Del Rio was the head man for the then-Oakland Raiders and Carr was his young and rising franchise quarterback.
Del Rio got to see Carr’s strengths and weaknesses up close and personal.
The JDR-DC4 combo went 25-21 in their three years together in Oakland from 2015-17. The high spot was the 12-4 2016 season that saw the Raiders return to the playoffs, but unfortunately for the Silver & Black, also saw Carr’s season ended in Week 16 due to a broken fibula suffered against the Indianapolis Colts.
