NFL rumors: Raiders players question Jon Gruden's responsibility after the deal

ALAMEDA – Derek Carr intends to become the Raiders quarterback "when we change the situation". Jon Gruden says that he "likes Derek Carr, thinks he'll be a great quarterback in the NFL" and that he has no intention of exchanging … at unless something happens because "you should never say never".

And, with that, I think everyone is convinced that the turbulence in Oakland is over and that Gruden says that the stability he is craving is at the door and he approaches the bell in turn.

Both Gruden and Carr spoke on Wednesday after Monday's transaction between Amari Cooper and the Cowboys, and although both were careful to say non-incendiary things in particular, they both acknowledged that reconstruction " was zero ". And Carr, not Gruden, is the one who said "suck."

"I can tell you that I never imagined we were going to live this (after twelve to four years ago, two years ago)," said Carr, reminding people that he had gone into his professional life in the middle of a similar reconstruction plan. "But it's football, there's nothing like losing in the NFL."

With this in mind, Carr was also treated to another first when asked if it was the first time that he was asked if he was accused of having cried, as he was in a story of The Athletic. As expected, he laughs.

"Our coach sent me photos of my work and I had the same face," said the quarterback. "So I guess my workouts are really painful."

In trying to minimize the turmoil of the past two days and the previous two months, Carr said briskly, "when you lose, you do shit." Gruden, meanwhile, had his protector skills on several topics, especially when he thought he had to abandon his original plan and start undoing the decor of a new show in a new city. .

"I will not go into detail at the moment" was a convenient phrase for the coach, who repeatedly repeated that "things are changing.You could have a first-10 and win 6 yards, and you consider doing one thing and then you get a retention penalty or something happens.all I can tell you is that we are trying to do what we can for the Oakland Raiders and for the future of the franchise. "

Acknowledging that the Raiders are a two-pronged concept, simultaneously serving two audiences at the same time, is evidence that Gruden knows in part why the Cooper trade has made the atmosphere outside the club worse, but there is no clear solution to fix it. Just as he did not speculate on when the plan started to change, he also did not offer an idea of ​​when they might stop, probably because they will probably not get to where early.

After all, disbadembly is just beginning and, although it has been undeniably awkward in its execution so far, nothing says it will not be easier to handle as long as it continues.

Indeed, in a strange musical comedy, Carr said, "I'm the quarterback here today, I'm sure I'll be here tomorrow and when we reverse the situation, I'm confident I'll be here too." quarterback "could be the least convincing of all. Not because it can not be true, but because no one knows what is true here every day.
