Well, I was being a bit sarcastic with that. Surprised it took you this long to get around to commenting on it.
I really think he wasn't given the opportunity to earn a spot because of the distraction. He simply wasn't good enough to have because of the media attention he'd have received. No coach wants background noise about his back-up QB. And, again, it would have to be a place with a clear #1. The Raiders would have benefited from a QB with experience in the NFL. Or maybe not just Matt McGloin. When Carr went down, that was that. MMcG was not going to give them a chance to win.
