At least that's what I've seen without doing a deep dive on his 2022 film.

That may sound like a slight - but it means there's a dozen teams that would vie for his services and that's not a bad spot to be in, especially after the raiders already paid him enough to retire on.

There's nothing wrong with being a top 12-15 QB.  That means you're teams are always in the playoff hunt, and if you have a good GM and Good HC, you could find team in the SuperBowl if things fall right.

The only thing I disagree with you is that I think being a top 12-15 QB is a franchise QB.  Getting a top 5 QB is rare.  But you can be a fun, enjoyable franchise to support and cheer on if you have a QB like Carr that is a professional, can make all the throws, but is just a step below the best of the best.

Plenty of teams wins Super Bowls with that type of franchise QB.  Just look at Flacco, Eli Manning, Russel Wilson, etc...

What's a killer is when you have a 18-32 QB and your franchise has no ability to upgrade. That's when you live in hell for 10 years or so...
