Raiders' Josh McDaniels on QB Approach Going Forward
The biggest question that will loom over the Las Vegas Raiders this off-season will be: Who will suit up as the starting quarterback next season?
Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels gave insight into how the process should go as the off-season gets going.
“I think there's going to be some time here that we need to go back through everything that we've done, and it's going to start with him [Derek Carr]," McDaniels said in his Monday press conference. "And so we're going to look at the games we've played, our performance at every position, and try to just look at it objectively now. I mean, now we're not getting ready for another opponent; we're not focused on the game plan. Now we're just looking at what we've done. At the end of the day, we'll need to make some decisions about everything. That position obviously is paramount, but it would be no different at any other position.
"But it'll start with that, that's the process that we're getting ready to embark on. We have not done that yet. We will. And it'll take us a little time because it needs to be thorough, and it deserves time. That's what it deserves. There's a lot that will go into that before we make any final proclamations or decisions. There's a lot of people who are going to need to do some evaluating here, watch a lot of tape, have a lot of discussions that are hopefully very fruitful, and then when we're ready to go we'll move on."
