RaiderX Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 He'll be back week 6 I think. Romo went through the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTitan Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I think next year or anytime for that matter, if we play the noon games and Marcus gets hurt, y'all should just sit Carr. Don't let him near the field. Sucks to lose the starting QB. I'd take Manuel over Cassell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and rushing back worked out well for romo. I say week 8 at the earliest. If ej is playing well and we put together some wins, he is away the whole 6 weeks.

They could have 5 in the box and Lynch would still only gain 3 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverNBlackFan Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yea this sucks, especially since it was on a play that should've been avoided (Cook was wide open). I don't have faith in a rookie OC and EJ Manuel to weather this storm for the next however many weeks. And our defense isn't strong enough to hold teams down.

Nightmare Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Ravens, Chargers, at the Dolphins before our bye week. I'd guess even if he's good to go for the Miami game, they'll try and hold him off until after the bye. Unless we're a hot mess for the two upcoming home games. Which is a distinct possibility, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjon1990 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Any good FA Qb's out there? I'd let Lynch go for one right now. Anything but having to watch EJ behind our line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything but having to watch EJ behind our line. I'd honestly like to see them move EJ around. Carr, as athletic as he is, just didn't wanna use his legs. First and foremost the run game has to get better. Less Lynch and more Richard/Washington is a good step. Utilize Olawale more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante9876 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 If EJ cant compete with ravens chatgees and dolphins, he ahouldnt be our back up. He can go 3-2 over the next 5 if he can get some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'll have to design anything for EJ to move around though. That's what worries me the most really. The O-line has been hot garbage. I haven't seen lines cave like that since I played as Old Dominion against Alabama on NCAA '14. See, the thing with the run game, imo, is we've been trying to get way too cute with the whole "limited touches" mantra. That's great when it is 1 RB (think Chris Thompson last week, how the Pats used Shane Vereen, etc.). But we've limited ALL of our RB's touches. Sure, every now and then Richard or Washington will come in and catch a D off-guard for a pop play. But limiting everyone's touches keeps the run from getting established and messes with consistency. Lynch probably needs more runs. He's averaging 11 runs a game as our "lead" back. That isn't consistent. That's just my take though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodo Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Brutal. I know Romo and Cam went back to playing after one week but you never know how one heals. EJ looking solid would bring me comfort if it the surrounding cast hadn't let him down at various points. Not how I wanted this year to start at all but it's still early and we should still be in contention for a spot whenever Carr returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie2Gunz Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Terrible news. Carr is the leader and backbone of this team, losing him for an extended period of time is the worst news possible. The Raiders need to keep him out until he is 100 percent healthy. Rushing him back before he is 100 percent especially with the way our line has been blocking would be catastrophic. EJ Manuel is at best an average QB. If Carr is out 4 to 6 weeks the best we can hope for is .500 before he returns. If that is the case and we are .500 we can hope to squeak into the playoffs as a WC team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
