New Raiders coach Jack Del Rio is pumped up about working with quarterback Derek Carr, who threw for 3,270 yards and 21 touchdowns with 12 interceptions as a rookie.
“Carr’s a special young talent,” Del Rio told The Jim Rome Show. “He’s got a really quick release, good decision maker; he’s shown some of that grit we’re looking for, some of that toughness, so he’s a guy that we feel like we have an opportunity to build around.”
Carr needs to improve his completion percentage (58.1) and take better care of the ball under pressure after losing four fumbles last season.
