ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Oakland Raiders were in the market for a quarterback in the spring of 2014.
Their short list included Matt Schaub, Mark Sanchez and Michael Vick. After acquiring Schaub in a trade with the Houston Texans, then-Raiders coach Dennis Allen immediately anointed Schaub as Oakland's starter.
Two months later, though, the Raiders drafted Derek Carr out of Fresno State in the second round. Thanks in part to Schaub suffering from elbow tendinitis in the preseason, Carr won the gig and has not looked back since.
