Underhill: Kellen Moore said he took this job with the idea that Derek Carr would be his QB

I wonder if Moore knew how unpopular that would be with the fanbase when he took the job?

Some of the Carr criticism is over the top and unwarranted. Some is valid. But the fact is that he is not well liked even among most that are okay with him being the starting QB this year. In fact, I would guess that many that are fine with him starting this year would not be fine with him starting next year.

So I wonder if Moore realised this and just doesn't care or if this will come as a bit of a surprise to him?
His job is to win games. Winning over fans with his decisions is only an issue if he doesn't win enough games. And even then, it's still much more about winning games than what fans think they want.
