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 don’t feel bad for him at all. I appreciate everything he did but I don’t buy the narrative that anyone did him dirty. He got paid very well and has had chance after chance after chance.
Saints fans hate him but I mean that’s how it goes when you don’t perform. He hasn’t done anything for that franchise. With us, he at least made us not a joke and had some nice highs. So no one really hated hated him, just wanted to move on.
