Derek Carr - Why People Dislike Him (IMO)

silverbullet said

Yeah, because everyone from his teammates to the media just rave about the guy right? Only person that seems to like him is our all time losingest coach.

Outside of AK, Taysom and sometimes Taylor and Adebo, what players are people raving about on this team? What players have shown growth in the last 2 years? How many more have regressed? On offense we see lazy routes, dropped balls, bad blocking, bad timing and just general poor execution across the board. On defense, we see bad gap discipline and tackling (6th in rushing yards allowed), nobody getting to the QB (29th in sacks).

You're singling out one player when almost nobody else plays well either. When nobody plays well, it's a coaching problem. This isn't a defense of Carr, he IS playing poorly. I just can't accept that the focus of this years problems be on him. These problems already existed and he's just the latest punching bag because he's new and there were overblown expectation that he was going to move the team forward regardless of the other glaring problems.
