Derek Carr Raiders QB Needs Two Years Before He's Effective For Any NFL Team, Here's Why
Derek Carr Raiders QB Needs Two Years Before He's Effective For Any NFL Team, Here's Why
First, let me explain that Derek Carr is a good man, who deserved better than being demoted from starting quarterback of the Las Vegas Raiders. But, as one who's observed, covered, and even interviewed him over his career, I have to say that Derek Carr's showed everyone who he is when he elected to leave the team just because he couldn't stand being second string and rooting for Jarrett Stidham. The problem is the Raiders made Derek Carr who he is by not having him compete for the starting job in 2014; it was handed to him. Oakland Raiders Fans (or most of them, it seemed) jumped all over me when I vlogged that Carr should not be handed the starting job during his rookie campaign. But then Raiders Head Coach Dennis Allen did just that during the 2014 Raiders Preseason. Carr's performances were, indeed, impressive, but it was preseason and he had not played against what's referred to as “live bullets”. On August 10th, 2014, I said in my vlog that “Derek Carr played his first game as an Oakland Raiders QB v The Minnesota Vikings Friday. He was 10 of 16 for 74 yards and an interception. The Raiders did not look crisp and Carr was consistently late with his throws.” Most agreed, but then other Raiders Fans were buying the idea that Carr should start. That began a long oddessey where I, and other Raiders Fans, watched as the Raiders shifted coaches like Popes during The Borgias Era, and yet Carr was always penciled in as starter, without challenge. In 2015, The Raiders hired former Bill Walsh Quarterback Bill Musgrave as offensive coordinator. Musgrave installed an offense that was a mix of Bill Walsh, Tony Franklin, and Chip Kelly, and caused Carr to post his best numbers of his career, leading the Silver and Black to the playoffs, where an injury caused Carr not to play and the Raiders to lose to The Texans. In 2017, the NFL caught up to Musgrave's approach, and once again, the Raiders were less than formidable most of the time. Then, Jon Gruden was hired to replace Jack Del Rio in 2018, and Carr had his best years under Jon – then Jon was released under questionable circumstances in 2021. While Rich Bisaccia and company led the Raiders back to the playoffs, the now Las Vegas squad lost after a Bengals touchdown that should have been disallowed, strangely was, and that ended the Raiders 2021 season. Point is, Derek Carr never had to sing for his supper, and even in 2022, Carr didn't have to belt out a tune for John McDaniels. What happened was that John McDaniels inexplicably installed an offense that consisted in part of pass plays designed originally for Tom Brady, and yet expected Carr to run them well. For example, Derek Carr was never asked to run a play that called for him to fake a quick dive handoff then quickly throw downfield, but that's what Josh had him do. Turning his back on the defense, then turning around and throwing downfield to a receiver on time, is not Derek's strong suit. So, not surprisingly, Carr was either missing that throw, or getting picked off. By contrast, Tom Brady had the uncanny ability to know, presnap, what a defense was going to do, and where defenders are supposed to be and track where they were going and react in real time. New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick has pointed that out on several occasions. So, by the time Derek was benched, he had posted an NFL-high 14 interceptions. But Carr was also injured, and so a sad mix of ego and nobility, caused Carr to request to leave the Raiders. Carr should have remained and proved that he could be what he's never been: a teammate rooting on the starting quarterback from the bench. Also, reports were that Carr could not handle Josh yelling at him; again, a byproduct of being coached in a new system by a guy who didn't get the message about how to work with him. McDaniels is used to a back-and-forth with Tom Brady, but Carr's not the guy for that. He wasn't raised that way in football. Carr's been the boy-wonder given the job; Brady had to fight and claw for whatever he got. Now, Derek Carr's in a position where he's going to have to do that for the first time. If Carr goes where he's the starter, Derek will have to prove himself to a new fan base, with the old fan base and its history, watching and influencing them. Carr's coach will have to live with his growing pains in a new system with new terminology and in a new NFL City, and that will be the place at which Derek Carr is allowed to sink or swim. Derek will also have to embrace understanding an offensive playbook, rather than just running it, a big difference. I'm nor betting against Mr. Carr, but his price tag will be the ultimate decider. No one will pay top dollar to have Carr be a rookie all over again. Stay tuned.

Neil DeMause Blasts Zennie Abraham On Howard Terminal TIF Revenue, Proves He Doesn’t Know It
Neil DeMause Blasts Zennie Abraham On Howard Terminal TIF Revenue, Proves He Doesn’t Know It
Neil DeMause Blasts Zennie Abraham On Howard Terminal TIF Revenue, Proves He Doesn’t Know It In his missive about the Oakland A's SB 293 Skinner legislation and the planned use of tax increment financing, Neil wrote: As for how much tax could be redirected to this infrastructure fund, it depends on how big a TIF district Oakland approves. If we wild-ass-guesstimate a $1 billion development, though, and the effective property tax rate in Oakland is a little under 1.5%, then over 30 years, in present value … we could maybe be talking about $200 million or more. Probably less than that given that you’d have to deduct the current value of Howard Terminal land, but still, likely somewhere in the low nine figures. Maybe. Neil just proved he does not know how to do tax increment financing. The fact is the $1 billion development is just the stadium but let's start there as it is privately owned in the TIF financial plan, and has to be. Over a 45 year period, assuming a rate of growth in assessed value of 4 percent, the actual tax increment revenue is $800 million. Since the actual average rate of growth in assessed value there is 6.5 percent, the expected TIF revenue is just over $1.8 billion. That's far greater than the "$200 million or more" Neal came up with, and even the present value calculation would be greater because it's based on the TIF revenue stream, even at 30 years. It's one thing for Neal to criticize some stadium spending, but not everyone under the same brush. It's completely useless to anyone trying to understand new legislation that may be used to help finance a stadium. What Neal also completely forgets is that tax increment financing revenue is greater with the increase in assessed value of the properties paying the annual property tax. Few developments are more expensive than stadiums. Tax increment financing is an intelligent way to capture a giant revenue throw off and use it for public good. Stay tuned.

Oakland News Now Daily Jan 28th 2023: Mayor Thao Disses Oakland Exec LaTonda Simmons
Oakland News Now Daily Jan 28th 2023: Mayor Thao Disses Oakland Exec LaTonda Simmons
This is the fifth edition of what is a daily video-blog in the tradition of Rocketboom and called Oakland News Now Daily with some Herb Caen mixed in. And since what Rocketboom was and who Herb Caen is (I prefer that to “was”), let's get started. First, my appology for unintentionally getting off a daily routine. I have had a health challenge that caused me to just get more rest; now that it's over, I am back in the saddle. ITEM It's January 28th, almost the end of the first month of 2023, and Oakland still has no replacement for the outgoing City Administrator Ed Reiskin. The name announced, Steven Falk (who was with Oakland before, two years ago) will not arrive until March. Talk about a leadership gap. ITEM During the search for a replacement for the outgoing City Administrator Ed Reiskin, Mayor Thao told Oakland Assistant City Administrator LaTonda Simmons that she “found someone with more experience” to replace Mr. Reiskin. LaTonda has logged 20 years and 8 months with the City of Oakland. Thao has not selected anyone who has more experience within the City of Oakland than LaTonda. Everyone who knows Oakland believes LaTonda should have been the next City Administrator after Ed Reiskin. ITEM Fitzgerald Park in Oakland City Council District Three has had someone shot in the face today, a possible homicide on Christmas Eve 2022, homicide on November 28th 2022, and is the focus of a Department of Justice investigation. If we're not going to close the park, then at least get some security down there, and pay for it as part of a tax increment financing program. ITEM Everytime there's a murder in Oakland, or now Mayor Thao's placement of Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong on leave, there's a public meeting of what to do. This habit started with The Pandemic. So far, none of these gatherings have led to an adopted solution. How about no meetings and more action? ITEM The Oakland Secret Film Festival is seeking submissions and the deadline is February 10th. The submissions must be at or less than 20 minutes long; anything over that will be rejected. Go to OakSFF.com for more information and to submit your movie. Good luck! So, if you like this format, let me know at zennie@zennie62media.net or drop a tip for Zennie62Media, Inc, as if the company employs this piano player at your favorite bar, like the Alley Cat at 3325 Grand Avenue – my place. Tips here: https://ift.tt/olv73HJ And if you have a news item, let me know at zennie@zennie62media.net Stay tuned, thanks, and see you tommorrow.

Leigh Steinberg Talks 36th Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party, NFL QBs, Lamar Jackson, Jameis Winston
Leigh Steinberg Talks 36th Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party, NFL QBs, Lamar Jackson, Jameis Winston In our latest talk on Zennie62 YouTube, Leigh Steinberg and I look back on the first Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl . An event before my time in the sports media business, and in 1985 at his place located at 109 Panoramic Way in the Berkeley Hills and just walking distance from the UC Berkeley Campus. Leigh says his first party consisted mostly of sports writers and people in the business. They partied into the wee hours of the morning, and then Leigh said there were people sleeping all about his house. Eventually, the event grew to the point were the LA Super Bowl Party held at the Sony Studios Lot drew 4,000 people last year. Our talk then turned to what related events to expect at the 36th Leigh Steinberg Super Bowl Party, most notably the Brain Health Summit. That's an event within the party that annually focuses on advances in brain health. That is a subject he's keenly interested in as it impacts may of his NFL player clients. On that, I did ask him about what happened to Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa, but Leigh said he preferred to leave that to the Dolphins to answer. After that, Leigh speculated on the futures of Lamar Jackson and Jameis Winston. Lamar his found puzzling because he believed he would have been signed by now. He also speculated that Lamar was looking for a $50 million a year price tag. On the matter of Saints QB Jameis Winston, Leigh said his future depends on which team he goes to, and because his performance varied from not so good under Bruce Arians in terms of interceptions to his best career throwing 14 TDs and just 3 INTs under Sean Payton with the Saints, and a mix of both under Head Coaches Lovie Smith and Dirk Koetter.

He is a native Californian who grew up just south of the Bay Area. Raised by is Gay dads and single mother, Brandon became active in politics at a young age. He learned leadership and community organizing as an officer in both his local 4-H club and his High School’s GSA. But to LeAna Powell, who filed a complaint that is now an investigation by The Oakland Public Ethics Commission, Brandon was a key player in an environment that she says was bullying. Powell shares that Harami and Chief of Staff Renia Webb were the ones who tried to get her to work on Sheng’s campaign for Mayor of Oakland. Then Renia Webb herself quit and then complained in an email seen by most city employees that she was abused physically and verbally. While Harami was not the person she blamed, Webb did later point a finger at Brandon’s office actions claiming that he made her sick. Powell advanced a similar complaint. On the flip side and before the campaign, Brandon was a top flight professional for Sheng. But given the complaints logged against him by Powell and Webb, it’s fair to wonder what kind of aide he’s going to be moving forward. Stay tuned.

Statement of Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong Response To Mayor Thao's Paid Leave Action
Statement of Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong Response To Mayor Thao's Paid Leave Action
Statement of Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong Response To Mayor Thao's Paid Leave Action Statement of Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong 1.23.23 I deserve to be reinstated as Chief of Police immediately by the City of Oakland. It is a matter of justice, due process, and fairness. It is also an issue of justice and fairness for the people and community of Oakland to have me at helm of the police department to protect public safety and provide leadership and stability to our officers. I want the public to know I followed all policies, protocols, and procedures in the two incidents that are detailed in the recently-released summary report. In the first incident, where an officer hit and damaged a parked vehicle in a garage, we took action against that officer and disciplined him. In the second incident—in which the same officer discharged his weapon in an elevator—OPD had begun an investigation following every policy and procedure. We had begun both administrative and criminal investigations when the officer admitted to us that he was responsible for discharging the firearm. I placed that officer on administrative leave one day after his admission. But neither the department—nor myself as Chief—ever had the opportunity to take full and appropriate disciplinary action against the officer because the Federal Monitor Robert Warshaw took the investigation out of my hands so that he could handle it himself. Therefore, the ability to discipline that officer and engage in due process was never afforded to me or OPD. I believe that I am in this position because Federal Monitor Robert Warshaw acted in his own clear self-interest. He did not act appropriately nor honestly in his role as Monitor. Instead, as Oakland neared the end of its monitorship after demonstrating sustained compliance under my leadership as Chief, Mr. Warshaw acted in the interest of his own pocketbook by manufacturing a false crisis to justify extending his lucrative monitoring contract. I should be reinstated immediately in the interests of justice, due process, and the safety and well-being being of Oakland community members and police officers. Stay tuned.
