Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has 18 Bo Jackson Jersey White ,739 passing yards in his five-year career, which means hes probably only a game or two away from a significant franchise record.Thats the Raiders record for career passing yards, currently held by Hall of Famer Kenny Stabler. The franchise record of 19,078 yards is just 339 yards away for Carr, and hes excited about having his own name mentioned alongside Stablers.That gives me goosebumps. That was my dads favorite player growing up, Carr told Sal Paolantonio of ESPN.NFL passing offenses are so much different now than they were during Stablers day that its hard to make much of a comparison between the numbers: In Stablers rookie year, 1970, NFL teams averaged 161.4 passing yards per game. By 2018, NFL teams averaged 237.8 passing yards per game. So its hard for any quarterback from the 1970s to have numbers that stand up to todays stats.Carr seems to recognize that. He knows Stabler was a greater passer than his stats may suggest. It ended the second episode with a to be continued tease to Browns helmet issue.Hard Knocks wasted little time in getting to Brown on Tuesday, setting up the helmet issue only three minutes into the hour-long reality series before cutting to coach Jon Gruden talking privately about his star receiver.Weve known the whole time, Gruden said. He had frostbite. He took four or five days to get checked out, and we knew about the [helmet] grievance since the first day of OTAs, which we did. I dont know what the story what the f the story is around here.Hes tried everything, really. I give the guy credit for standing up for what he believes in. Everybody else does it in this country.Much of the rest of the episode centered around Browns feet and his helmet issue. The trailer for the show, released Tuesday morning, provided most of of the best stuff from Brown.Grudens public support of Brown was backed by his private support of Brown on Hard Knocks.More than once he questioned why it was such a big story.At one point, Gruden even joked with Brown, telling him, You can use my helmet https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic...rek-carr-jersey , man.Wearing a new helmet, Brown complained to teammates about his new lid being ugly as f as he continually adjusted it.Through everything, Gruden has showed unwavering support of Brown, which Brown acknowledged late in the episode.Thanks for supporting me, coach, Brown said. My fing head, my feet. People after me. Youve been a constant supporter.Gruden told Brown he was behind him, and that Brown could talk to him about any problem.I know youve got a lot of people in your ear, because youre like a corporation thats kind of gone global, Gruden told Brown. At the end of the day, lets keep this s simple. Football comes first. Everybody else is fing way behind. You know what Im saying? Youve handled all that seamlessly, beautifully.Brown laughed.Seamlessly. I think that word, he said. Thats a great word. Seamlessly. Ill look that up.Gruden replies, Three syllables. They dont have those at Dayton [where Gruden went to school] or Central Michigan [where Brown went to school].In something of a good-cop, bad-cop routine, General Manager Mike Mayock was shown speaking to reporters Sunday, telling them that it was time for Brown to be all in or all out after Brown left camp again.The episode ends with Brown returning to work Monday. Whether he stays or not is to be continued as Brown has filed another grievance.
