The Facts: A day after GM Mike Mayock gave Carr a vote of confidence, Mayock’s boss did the same. Raiders HC Jon Gruden said today that Carr is the Raiders’ quarterback, period. “Yes. He’s our franchise quarterback. Let me make that clear,” Gruden said.

Diehards Line: As PFT's Michael David Smith notes, the talk that the Raiders (who own picks No. 4, 24, 27 and 35) could draft a quarterback to succeed Carr isn’t going away until the draft comes and goes and they don’t. But for now, the Raiders are insisting that they believe in Carr going forward.
