Derek Carr, Oakland Raiders: Being personally connected to this one, I know there were a lot of variables that led to Derek's down season. In Todd Downing's first year of play-calling for the Raiders, it was an absolute mess. There wasn't consistency in the game plan and players weren't on the details; these are issues that start at the top. Also playing a big part in the offensive struggles was the fact that Derek returned too quickly from his back injury. Everyone plays injured, but that was a major injury, and it made him less comfortable in the pocket and more inconsistent. I've had that injury and was out for a month. Tony Romo had that injury and never came back. The Raiders had a terrible year, by all standards. Now, it's a waiting game to see what the Jon Gruden-Derek relationship is going to be.
