Love this analysis, thank you!
Carr is privileged. He's always gotten everything his way, never truly accepts blame and has a way of throwing others under the bus. Guys like Olave and Mike Thomas had to go through a lot more to get to where they're at and it doesn't help for Carr to be yelling at them. At the end of the day, Carr lacks humility irrespective of how much he quotes the bible, prays with Demario, or says it was his fault. True humility is lacking for Carr and it might not be something he can correct because he's had so much privilege and bias in his life.
Dennis Allen also suffers from the same issue that Carr does. You are absolutely right, he should have said "I'll look at the tape and connect with the players later this week if need be, next question." Instead, he defended his QB which then showed the rest of the team there is no accountability.
We all smell privilege and a rat in the locker room. When one employee thinks they are superior or above reproach then the whole thing comes crashing down. It's one thing when it is Drew Brees or Tom Brady or even Demario Davis, it's another thing when it is Derek Carr.
I hope Carr can improve, and I hope he's better than what he's shown because deep down I am a Saints fan but right now I'm ashamed of our Quarterback. When asked the question about Mike Thomas, he literally said it was hard for Mike because Olave was the new number 1. What a crazy low blow and it's why former teammates of Carr hate him and want to injure him if legal. You can't say stuff like that while also talking about reading your Bible and praying. A person who has humility would have said, "I know we didn't have the year we hoped for together but I believe in Mike and I want to do better for him. I hope he knows that and I'm always willing to connect with him on routes so we can go out and get a Super Bowl." But Derek Carr instead decided to insult him.
