The Oakland Raiders were building their current era around Derek Carr, Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper. Since Jon Gruden became coach this offseason, the Raiders have since traded Mack and Cooper, while Carr\'s future is uncertain.
\"The belief in him has deteriorated, perhaps to irreparable levels,\" writes Marcus Thompson. \"Team sources describe a fractured relationship between Carr and his teammates, mostly because confidence in him has waned. It certainly didn’t help when film showed what looked like him crying after being sacked and injuring his arm. They saw his face. They heard his whimper. They witnessed him explain on the sidelines. They assuredly watched it again in film session. It’s hard to see how Carr can lead this team again.
\"There are already rumblings about Carr being a sitting duck. If the whispers are accurate, the Raiders have already concluded that Carr is not the quarterback of the future and the question is how do they go about moving on. His game is marked by a mental fragility that doesn’t inspire confidence.\"
