I Think Sometimes We Focus on the Wrong Things (My Thoughts on Derek Carr Catching Backlash for Not Being in the City)

He's the exception that proves the rule. Yes, it's possible to do it, but you have to have a lot of really strong leadership around him for that to work. And again, Philly is a very different place than New Orleans.

Also, just because you haven't heard anything from Hurts doesn't mean he isn't doing lots of talking or doing lots of things in Philly or with his teammates.
Jalen Hurts is 46-20 as a starter, was drafted to the team and has been to two Pro Bowls and now two Super Bowls appearances. Fans will cut a guy like that some slack
No one but some Saints fans care that Carr isn't there. No one outside of New Orleans is thinking about Carr. I guarantee you, more people thought about Taylor Swift in N.O. than Carr in N.O.
It doesn’t matter who cares. The reality is that the city and therefore the team was in the spotlight and the starter at the most important position in football didn’t show up.
