I've been a fan of Carr since his collegiate days and believed that the Raiders were an excellent landing spot for him. Nothing I saw in his tape has changed my mind. After having started for a full season, hopefully the game has slowed down and Carr is able to fit throws in a few more windows. Then again, it did reinforce why Oakland made the choice to draft Amari Cooper over Leonard Williams with the fourth pick in the draft. It also explains why there's so much early buzz around the rookie wideout. Adding a receiver who can stretch the field to go along with the veteran presence of Michael Crabtree should help open some of those windows a little wider.
