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
Today’s Saints game was like his entire Raiders’ career in a microcosm. His first pass-- perfectly thrown, hits an open receiver in stride, right in his hands, and the receiver muffs it, flips it into the air, and it lands right in a defender’s hands.
His offensive line was non-existent, and he was rushed/hit/sacked on pretty much every drop-back. Even still, he stood in there and was bringing the team back, until he was hit hard just after he threw a dime, and knocked out of the game.
The Saints’ defense couldn’t stop anything all day.
Carr played an excellent game. His teammates were ass.
It was his entire Raiders career in one game.
