In the NFL, Carr is third in completed air yards, fourth intended air yards, and fourth in total passing yards, all while being 12th in yards after the catch translation, he’s throwing the ball deep! The notion that Derek Carr is a check-down machine - something that was perpetuated earlier in his career - is demonstrably false in 2021.Ĭarr has a bad throw percentage that ranks 27th in the NFL. Carr’s yards per attempt so far in 2021 is 8.5, a solid jump from 7.9, which was his average the last two seasons. He has quietly surpassed 4,000 yards in three straight seasons, and he’s on pace to do it once again. Carr has the team averaging 393 yards per game, ninth in the NFL, and the Raiders are second in passing yards per game - Carr averages 307 yards per game with his arm.Ĭarr has 180 completions on 266 attempts (67.7 percent) for 2,269 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions.
The Las Vegas offense is currently 10th in points per game with an average of 25. Quarterback Derek Carr is playing insanely good football this season he has five games with more than 300 yards passing, and he ranks second behind Tom Brady in passing grade, per Pro Football Focus. The offense of the Raiders hasn’t missed a step without Gruden, despite injuries to running back Josh Jacobs (chest) and star tight end Darren Waller (ankle), both of whom may return in week nine. The Raiders have won their only two games under interim head coach Rich Bisaccia, who took over after Jon Gruden resigned due to uncovered contemptible e-mails. Las Vegas is in a prime position to seize their division with the Chiefs early struggles and the Chargers losing their last two games.
Although it shocks many, the Raiders sit atop the AFC West at 5-2. After losing in Kansas City on Monday Night Football to the Chiefs, the New York Giants will host the Las Vegas Raiders, off of their BYE week, at MetLife Stadium in Week 9.
