Today we look at how those projected numbers translate to the Raiders win totals.Using quarterback statistics from year 5 to year 6 and the second season playing in the same offensive system, some trends were identified. The percentage difference in quarterback stats from one season to the next were used to generate a low prediction, middle prediction, and high prediction for Derek Carr’s statistical output in 2019. Read the full study here.Low prediction: Passer rating 85.4, Adjusted net yards per attempt 5.77, completion percentage 69.2%, touchdowns 18, and yards 4151.Middle prediction: Passer rating 97, ANY/A 6.75, completion percentage 70.5%, touchdowns 22, and yards 4324.High prediction: Passer rating 108.6, ANY/A 7.72, completion percentage 71.8% Womens Antonio Brown Jersey , touchdowns 25, and yards 4497.This conversation is good and well, but how does it translate to wins on the field? Quarterback statistics can be volatile and aren’t always the best marker for predicting wins vs losses considering it ignores the other side of the football entirely. However there is a correlation between quarterback production and wins more so than any other single position on the football field.Looking back at the past 3 seasons there are some takeaways as far as passing statistics that point to what the Raiders record will look like pending the production from the Quarterback position.Automatic thresholdsto a winning record.That being said in most categories there is a steady positive progression as stats improve so do wins. Touchdowns is one category where this isn’t completely true considering between 5 and 8 wins quarterbacks threw between 21 and 23 touchdown passes on average. Yards is another statistic that shows confusing correlation to wins. Between 6 and 11 wins quarterbacks threw between 3700 and 3900 yards, essentially no difference.The statistics in this study that served to best predict win totals were ANY/A, passer rating, and completion percentage in that order. Using only those statistics and attempting to make a prediction for the Raiders record in 2019 lets go back to the 2019 low, medium and high predictions for Derek Carr’s 2019.If Derek Carr hits the low prediction numbers, according to data taken from the last 3 seasons, the Raiders should win 7 gamesIf Carr hits the medium prediction numbers the Raiders should win 9 games.If Carr hits the high prediction numbers the Raiders should win 11 games.It’s important to note these numbers have been aggregated from objective sources and NFL stats only. There is no opinion in this study and the bias only comes from the timeframe in which these stats were taken. The middle prediction, likely the safest one, suggest the Raiders could be in the wildcard hunt late in the season and at least register a winning season in 2019. Notes:When compared to the 43 quarterbacks who started at least 8 games in a season over the past 3 years, Derek Carr ranked:17th in composite statistical standings14th in total QB wins24th in QB wins per season playedThese numbers are very middle of the road figures for the Raiders franchise QB. If Carr isn’t able to make a jump in his second season under Gruden then the Raiders would be smart to see if they can upgrade the position. While Carr certainly has not been terrible, he also hasn’t been great except for arguably one season. In 2016 Carr’s composite statistics ranked 25th out of 85 qualifying quarterbacks in the past 3 years and 8th best that season. Carr needs to improve immensely to solidify his status as the unquestioned starter. This truly is a make or break year for him. Most NFL fans know who Josh McCown is.

The journeyman NFL QB started 43 games the past six seasons for the Bears, Buccaneers, Browns, and Jets. In that time he threw 61 touchdowns and 38 interceptions. What you may not know is just how long McCown has been bouncing around the NFL — 17 seasons. The former 3rd round pick entered the NFL in 2002 with the Cardinals. McCown’s third NFL stop was in Oakland in 2007. That was the year the Raiders made JaMarcus Russell the number one overall pick in the NFL draft.Those days NFL rookies could still decide their own contracts and Russell was looking to cash in. He held out well into his rookie season, during which time, McCown was the Raiders’ starting QB.McCown went 1-2 in three starts before Daunte Culpepper took over as the starter. Later that season, McCown returned as the starter in the home stretch. He and Culpepper would each get just two wins and with the team sitting at 4-11 heading into the finale, the decision was made to give Russell his first ever NFL start.Thus McCown’s time in Oakland would end with the beginning of Russell’s NFL career. Russell would infamously flame out as the biggest but in NFL history and 12 years later, the 39-year-old McCown announced his retirement with 76 starts in 99 game appearances.Follow @LeviDamien
