Should the Raiders move on from Derek Carr after this season? (2:16)

Domonique Foxworth and Sam Acho are talking about the future of the Raiders and the future of Davante Adams. 2 minutes later.

The coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, Josh McDaniels, said Wednesday that he is benching quarterback Derek Carr for the last two games of the season.

The Raiders wanted to evaluate their younger players at more than one position.

The San Francisco 49ers will be facing a fourth-round pick in Sunday's game. He is 8 for 13 this season.

According to the Raiders plan, Chase Garbers will be the backup quarterback against the 49ers. Through the 16th week of the season, Carr had started every game for the Raiders.

Carr has thrown nine picks in the Raiders' past five games while completing less than half of his throws. The Raiders are still in the running for a playoff spot even though they lost three of those games.

The Raiders need to throw the ball better to be successful, according to the coach.

Carr signed a three-year extension with the Raiders in April, but they would take a cap hit of only $5.625 million if they parted ways with the quarterback before February. It is guaranteed for injury until three days after the Superbowl.
