    Derek Carr lowest sack rate in the NFL this year...

    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...ow-stats-great-quarterbacks-years-achieve-nfl

    Sack Rate

    1985: Bernie Kosar, Browns (7.1 percent)
    1995: Steve Young, 49ers (5.3 percent)
    2005: Josh McCown, Cardinals (6.3 percent)
    2015: Derek Carr, Raiders (5.1 percent)


    Not drafting him because of his brother is like trying to sign Zoran Dragic because of Goran Dragic...

    Hindsight is 20/20. You yourself loved it when the Texans picked Su’a-Fil, when they could have picked Carr.

    I thought Su'a-Filo would be a good guard, but I had been pushing for Derek Carr in the 2nd since his Junior year in college. While everyone was losing their minds over Teddy Bridgewater, I was talking about Carr.

    I was pushing Carr when he was a sophomore at Clements High... if he can make my alma mater look good, he's worth 1.1.

    Pretty bad Pro-Bowl showing.
