Perhaps age? But Gruden's past comments shed some light on his decision-making:"We love our quarterback. Our quarterback is a really good player, Derek Carr. I want to reiterate that, to everyone in Vegas, we've got a good young quarterback, and the film, the statistics and analytics prove it."Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdateThis was Jon Gruden in March of 2020 explaining why they didn’t want Tom Brady: twitter.com/mysportsupdate…Ari Meirov@MySportsUpdateUFC President Dana White claims he was working on getting Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to the Las Vegas #Raiders in 2020, but Jon Gruden decided in the last minute that he didn’t want to do it.

It was crazy. He was already looking at houses and it wasn't being said yet that Gronk was coming. Gruden blew the deal up... (Brady) was not happy."Also Checkout:- Raiders Preseason ScheduleWas Derek Carr the "motherf*****" Tom Brady referred to before?Remember when Tom Brady got NFL fans buzzing with speculation regarding something he said on a podcast? Oh wait, that seems to be a weekly occurrence at this point.But this time in particular, we're referring to when the quarterback called out another NFL quarterback. While appearing on an episode of The Shop soon after winning Super Bowl LV, the NFL's winningest shot-caller talked about how he felt snubbed by a team that was interested in signing him before joining the Buccaneers.Nico@elitetakes_Tom Brady was talking about the Raiders all along, wow.1679108Tom Brady was talking about the Raiders all along, wow. https://t.co/oBbuJDrzApApparently, the deal was close and both parties had agreed to terms. But in the end, the deal fell through, mainly because the team already had Derek Carr at its disposal:"All of a sudden they weren't interested in the very end. I was like, you're sticking with that motherf***er?"With the Bucs shot-caller not revealing any names, White's latest admission now makes a whole lot of sense. While fans earlier speculated the nameless quarterback being Jimmy Garoppolo, all signs now point to the "motherf****" being none other than Derek Carr.
