Derek Carr - Why People Dislike Him (IMO)

Well it's easier to take when the team is winning

However when the team sucks and the $50 million quarterback is not putting up $50 million stats or winning , it's easy to point the finger at the douchebag who's making other players yell at him.


Look at Aaron Rodgers, he comes across as enormous douchebag, but he is a winner

I guarantee you if he's putting up the numbers that Derek Carr was putting up, not many people would put up with his attitude.

It's as simple as that.

Rodgers would probably have a longer leash because of his past success, but it wouldn’t go on forever. Meanwhile, Carr seems to have a history of always being a piece away from being a top QB, so I don’t think fans have the patience to wait for him to get yet another coach/receiver/whatever to get him over the line.

Also, it’s ridiculous for fans to compare Carr to Mahomes, when one has never won a playoff game and the other is a two-time Super Bowl MVP. I’ve also seen Carr compared to Manning and Brady, two first ballot HOF QB’s. He doesn’t have anywhere near the track record to barge in the door and tell everyone else that they aren’t doing what it takes to win when he isn’t playing at a high level.
