Derek Carr Needs To Spread The Wealth

Last season, the Raiders didn’t have much in the way of offensive playmakers.Andre Holmeswas their de facto number one receiver, which should tell you all you need to know about the state of Oakland’s offense in 2014.

    • But this year, things are much different. McKenzie and Del Rio stocked the shelves and have a ton of weapons in players likeAmari Cooper,Michael Crabtree,Roy Helu, Seth Roberts, andClive Walfordto go along with veterans likeRod Streater, Holmes,Taiwan Jones,Marcel Reece, andMychal Rivera. Everywhere you look on Oakland’s offense is a guy that can break a big play and take one in from anywhere on the field.

    But on Sunday, with the offense getting off to a very sluggish start, rather than be patient and go through all of his reads, Derek Carr seemed locked in on two guys – Cooper and Latavius Murray. Of his seven completions on the day, those two players go the lion’s share of them.

    Simpy put, that’s not going to get it done. For this offense to work, Carr is going to need to play with ALL of his toys.
