Should the Las Vegas Raiders Get Rid of Derek Carr?

If Derek Carr is the real reason behind the Las Vegas Raiders' failures, keeping him for another season makes it very difficult to move on.  They could just keep him through the next season and start Mariota if it doesn't work, but that creates a quarterback controversy again. Carr is also reportedly in the back end of his deal, according to CBS sports radio, and the team would incur no penalty if they were to do something with him.

With that being said, you have to imagine that the Raiders are at least considering this option and thinking about a future without Carr at the helm. In fact, after reports surfaced that the team was considering giving Mariota an extended look, this could be an easy way for the Raiders to get out of paying his 19.7 million contract.
