FanNation QB Rankings Have Raiders Derek Carr Ranked No.12
A survey of FanNation publishers who cover NFL teams ranked all starting quarterbacks ahead of their season openers.
At the end of the process, the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was ranked 12th among all starters (Avg. position: 11.3).
His highest vote was 7th, while his lowest ranking came in at 15th.
From the 20 FanNation publishers who submitted their own votes, four voted Carr as the 10th, 12th and 13th ranked QB.
Carr doesn’t get enough credit for what he was capable of doing last year under the circumstances he and the Raiders went through.
He had career numbers last season, although falling short in many situations in the red zone, and for most of the regular season, he was at the top of the passing yards rankings.
Now he enters the 2022 season with another head coach, Josh McDaniels,at the helm and a bag full of offensive weapons, including his college teammate All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams.
But writers from FanNation's websites are not fully buying the Raiders starting quarterback just yet and are waiting to see more of him before considering him a top-ten ‘elite’ quarterback.
The Raiders QB will look to prove doubters wrong on Sunday's season opener at SoFi Stadium against the Los Angeles Chargers and show that he belongs in the conversation of being called an ‘elite’ quarterback in the league.
Below are the full rankings and voting for every starting quarterback.
