Derek Carr - Why People Dislike Him (IMO)

For me, it really comes down to his smug attitude and not accepting responsibility for the offensive performance. Sure, he's bad at quarterback right now but so is Jameis and I don't hate Jameis. The offensive line and receiving corps could be better for him for sure, however, he is the QB of the team and by far the highest paid player on the roster. He is dismissive to the media when given the opportunity to take responsibility for the performance of the offense and never singles himself out on how he could be better. When you add in the fact that he's more than willing to show up his teammates on the field who have done their best to not do the same to him all season long when he's been deserving, it adds up to a very dislikeable player. We're not expecting him to be Drew Brees but when more people look at your backup QB as a leader, that is an issue.

I want to like him - he has proven his toughness and I think his arm talent is there. I'm still hopeful that things can turn around with him at the helm but after the McCoy situation and the overall performance yesterday, I'm afraid we're at the point of no return.
