Well, there is a 2nd round QB in Oakland right now playing quite well, I assume he's just playing like a rookie.  I also think he's in a bit of a worse situation, not to mention their HC got fired during the season.

Have you actually watched Derek Carr or are you just looking at his overall stat line? I like him and think has has been playing rather decent.  Honestly though he is not playing better than Blake and in a worse situation. The situations are similar we just have more upside for the future. He has only played one really dominant game. The others have been decent. He has more veteran wide outs than Blake has and I think that is something that isn't taken into account. He has played 3 more games than Blake and did get most of the first string snaps in the preseason so he had a little more preparations.

 

He has 3 more TD's and six less picks. Hes about 70 more passing yards than Blake. Blake has the better completion percentage. Carr is also very erratic in his accuracy so It could be a case of him throwing less catch able balls than Blake has from the games I've seen him play. 

 

I think this is a good comparison for Blake and to watch these two throughout there careers. Similar playing styles with huge upside taken a round apart. From what I've seen from both guys I'd take Blake because he has way better pocket presence.
