Distraction?  From what?  The season is in the tank, and Carr most likely won't be there next year.  They are benching him so they won't be on the hook for 33 mil guaranteed if he gets injured.

Carr deserves better than the Raiders and McDaniels, who so far isn't much better of a coach than Nate Hackett, and he's got prior HC experience.

Carr would instantly improve the Jets, Giants, Redskins, Tacks, Colts, Patriots, Saints, and Dolphins.  Today.

the distraction would be players second guessing coaches/mgmt who decided they're better off with Stidham than Carr.
the distraction would be players that think their franchise's owner is a cheap bastard who can't afford a sensible haircut.
the distraction would be fans booing and calling for Carr every time Stidham throws one in the dirt

Raiders did him dirty, and I hope they get a decade of piss poor QB play to show for it.
