The Las Vegas Raiders finished with a 10-7 record and made the playoffs as a Wild Card, where they lost to the eventual AFC Champions Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been rumors throughout the years about the Raiders looking to move on from Carr, but the quarterback has steadily improved each season.

Carr has the skillset and weapons to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
