I admittedly wanted Carr gone. I don’t hate the guy, in fact always wanted him to succeed with us. However, I just think we gave him way too many chances and could see he just doesn’t have what it takes. Kinda felt like he wanted to be a Raider partly because he knew we gave him every benefit of the doubt for so long.
Even though I kinda wanted whatever team got him to get the “Derek Carr Experience”, I wanted him to do decently.
New Orleans fans HATE him. Like not how Raiders we’re frustrated of seeing the same inconsistency for 10 years, but more of a Josh McDaniels type of fan hate. Go on X and just search “Derek Carr” trending posts. Go on r/Saints and just scroll. I mean it’s BAD.
Even though I thought it was time to move on, I feel really bad for him. He is back up material. Jimmy G doesn’t even get this kind of hate from us.
To top it off he got SMASHED today by Bruce Irvin. I pray he’s okay.
That being said, please don’t come back to Raiders next year LOL
I wish the Saints were doing better with him, yes…but I dont see where you look at today’s game and put it on Carr. The Lions scored 3 times early, but Carr got them back within 3 points before he got knocked out. Playing strong from behind while the defense keeps failing to do their part is pretty much the same thing that happened to him with the Raiders, so it doesnt really change the narrative about him at all.
