ALAMEDA, Calif. - Theres not much Derek Carr hasnt seen in his first season with the Oakland Raiders, from Rex Ryans exotic blitz packages in New York to the dominant defensive fronts of Arizona and Kansas City.The rookie quarterback kept the Raiders going as they suffered through 10 consecutive losses to begin the season, then led them on a coming-of-age game-winning drive on national television to end the skid.Its all been a part of the growing process for Carr, who has a growing legion of fans around the league.St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher is among them.You can tell they have a franchise quarterback now, said Fisher, whose team plays the Raiders on Sunday in St. Louis. Hes developing. It looks like each week hes getting better, making good decisions (and) obviously has a strong arm.Carr was the fourth quarterback selected in the draft when the Raiders took him in the second round out of Fresno State, but he long ago began to stand out from the other three — Minnesotas Teddy Bridgewater, Jacksonvilles Blake Bortles and Clevelands Johnny Manziel.He became only the 12th rookie in NFL history to pass for more than 2,000 yards in his teams first 10 games. Carr did it despite getting little support from Oaklands running game most of the year.The first rookie quarterback to ever start a season opener for the Raiders, Carr also owns the franchise rookie record for passing yards (2,249) and touchdowns (14) — with five games still left to play.None of it seemed to matter much, however, until Carr guided Oakland on a 17-play, 80-yard drive that took more than seven minutes off the clock and culminated with a touchdown pass to wide receiver James Jones with 1:42 left to play against the Chiefs on Nov. 20.I will say it was a relief that it ended up in a win, Carr said. I was tired of coming in the next day and having to watch the film on a loss. Everything is better when you win.It was the sixth time this season that Carr engineered a touchdown in the final two minutes of a game. That it gave the Raiders their first win of the year and ended the franchises 16-game losing streak made it that much sweeter.Experience is one of the best teachers there is, Oakland offensive co-ordinator Greg Olson said Friday. Hes never a guy thats looking at the scoreboard and wondering whether this touchdown matters or not. Hes trying to go out there and score.Several of his Oakland teammates have praised Carr, not only for the poise he showed in the huddle on the winning drive against the Chiefs but for how hes handled himself all season.Left guard Khalif Barnes has repeatedly credited Carr for being mature beyond his years, while running back Darren McFadden said earlier this season that Carr long ago quit being looked at by his peers as a normal rookie.None of it is surprising to Rams strong safety T.J. McDonald.McDonald grew up in Fresno, and his father, former NFL star Tim McDonald, was an assistant coach with the Bulldogs for one season while Carr was there.One thing about him thats always stood out is his leadership ability and the intangibles at quarterback, T.J. McDonald said. Hes a guy that guys just seem to gravitate toward and always has a positive attitude.Notes: RB Latavius Murray was limited and still has yet to be fully cleared after suffering a concussion last week against the Chiefs. ... LG Gabe Jackson (knee), S Larry Asante (shoulder), CB TJ Carrie (ankle) and S Jonathan Dowling (back) were also limited. Malcolm Mitchell Jersey . You can watch all the action on TSN2 beginning at 7pm et/4pm pt. Pineda won his second straight start last Wednesday against Chicago, as he held the Cubs to just four hits over six scoreless innings to run his record to 2-0, while lowering his ERA to 1. Andre Tippett Jersey .J. -- Freshman Eli Carter scored a career-high 31 points and hit the go-ahead basket in the second overtime as Rutgers rallied to stun No. www.patriotsjerseysauthentic.com/James-D...-Super-Bowl-Jersey/. Catch the action live on TSN2 at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt. The Wild lead the Northwest Division and look to get back into the win column after having a season-high seven-game winning streak cut short with Tuesdays 2-1 loss at Winnipeg in the finale of a five-game road trip (4-1-0). Cyrus Jones Jersey . Russia has spent about $51 billion to deliver the Sochi Olympics, which run Feb. 7-23, making them the most expensive games ever, even though as a winter event it hosts many fewer athletes than summer games do. Steve Grogan Jersey .Manager Brendan Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo on Friday that Sturridge pulled his calf muscle in training as he prepared to return from a five-week layoff due to a thigh strain.Andrew Johnston is determined to prove he is no one-hit wonder after claiming his first European Tour win at the Open de Espana. On Sunday, Johnston made history by becoming the first player to win a regular tour event with an over-par score (+1) since Ian Woosnams victory at the Scottish Open in 1996. The 27-year-old, who rose more than 100 places in the world rankings following victory at Valderrama, ended the weekend as No 125 in the world. Andrew Johnston had started the weekend as No 233 in the world Its a great confidence boost, knowing that Ive got extensions until 2018, Johnston told Sky Sports Now. The idea now is to try and back it up and prove that I am not a one-hit wonder and try and win again.Johnston also revealed how his victory was received at his regular golf club in north Middlesex. He added: It has been crazy back home. All the boys at northh Middlesex have been sending me videos of them celebrating.dddddddddddd They looked more nervous than I was, it has just been crazy. With this win: Andrew Johnston We look more at the career of Andrew Johnston... Johnston carded a final round of 70 to finish one shot ahead of Joost Luiten of the Netherlands with Spains Sergio Garcia a further stroke back following a closing 67.I know I can go round there and shoot a good score. I found something on the fourth hole, where I hit a really nice lay-up and I just stuck with that. I started to hit some nice iron shots into the holes and felt comfortable, he added.
