Breaking: Raiders players have been informed that the team is making the switch at QB and starting Derek Carr over Matt Schaub
The fall of Schaub continues, Kubiak did some really good things with Schaub but he'll get even more out of Joe.
Great move by Dennis Allen IMO. Might save his HC career out there in Oakland.
Apparently Shaub banged up his elbow in game 3 of the preseason, but after he stunk the place up for a while. I'm guessing he was no more than a stop-gap QB any way, and Carr has apparently impressed in training camp and preseason.
Hes got great arm talent. They bring him along slowly as far as between the ears (dont over complicate things) and he should be just fine.
Not good for Carr. Murderers' row of a schedule (NFC West,AFC West,AFC East),RB issues(injury-prone Darren McFadden,geriatric Maurice Jones-Drew),Poor O-Line (which is bad because one of the knocks on him was performance under pressure),poor receivers(no safety valve),and he's generally been thrust into a poor situation (HC,GM on hot seat and the Raiders in all likelihood can be drafting Jameis Winston next year).

@RapSheet: Life in @NFL: Matt Schaub took David Carr's starting job with #Texans in '07. In '14, younger brother Derek takes Schaub's job with #Raiders

In '15 Kubiak will get hired as the HC of the Raiders after reviving the Ravens' offense,completing the cycle.Quote:

as noted, he has arm strength, which can't really be coached. Schaub really went downhill fast. (starting with that pick six at M&T). or maybe the rest of the league caught up with him.
