Ex-Raiders GM Mike Mayock Credits Jon Gruden for Derek Carr's Success

Former GM believes Carr's performance declined after Gruden's departure, despite Carr's solid stats with the Saints.

Mike Mayock, former Raiders GM, attributes Derek Carr's peak performance to Jon Gruden's coaching.
Carr's stats have remained strong, with over 3,500 passing yards in the past two seasons and nearly 70% completion rate in 2023.
Despite Gruden's controversial exit in 2021, Carr has continued to perform, reuniting with former coach Dennis Allen in New Orleans.
Mayock criticizes Carr's recent performance but acknowledges his status as a top-tier quarterback in the league.
Carr, now with the Saints, threw for 3,878 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions in 2023.
