Derek Carr the target of parade float “joke” (4 Viewers)

[blotch1]

Derek Carr started playing better after the boo’s in the dome. He had literally the best five game stretch of his entire career to finish the season. If this float can light a fire under his arse, then good.

He started playing better when the o-line started playing better and the playcalling improved a little.

This was deleted yesterday. But this is classless and wrong. For a city that claims to be welcoming and supportive this display says otherwise. Looking at this he probably regret signing here. Now you have other players who might think twice about coming here. Out of many saints players, we are calling out this one player. This is pathetic. Try this with another player. Will some you feel the same?

It’s what Mardi Gras floats should be — a satire of the things around us and the ability of folks to laugh at themselves. Some of the oldest krewes in existence today began as satires of other krewes, for example.

The team should use it as motivation to do better in 2024. Pure and simple

Not very nice....not very nice al all. Lets give the guy a break.

And fwiw these floats are planned months in advance- so there was probably a real bad Carr game in sept or Oct and the float krewe voted for this design

is this people's first experience with mardi gras?
hold onto your knickers, everyone

I'll never feel sorry for a healthy person who makes $150,000,000.

But "we've always done it that way", in general, is no kind of rationalization for bad acting.

Depends on which end of the telescope you’re looking
A float design is not an indictment of the entirety of carnival
Not everyone flashes boobs for beads either

I don't know what you're saying here. My only point is "that's how it's been done in the past" doesn't absolve something that's in poor taste. Not really speaking to the float (like I said, make fun of the healthy mega-millionaire all you want) or Mardi Gras specifically, just the rational fallacy in general.

I’m not surprised because when you get a big contract, this is part of the territory. It does have to be weird though explaining this kind of stuff and the boos to your kids.

This is nothing new, they picked on Zion in 2022, I believe.

I was gonna say... Zion's was waaaaay worse (worst?) than this.

Expected more of this fanbase.

I too expect more of this from our fanbase, and I'm here for it.

We're not the Raiders. If DA won't get in your face, then the fans will.

I went to a ton of games from 1968 into the mid 1980's, and I'm too figgin old to again watch this organization revert.

Been to just about every Mardi Gras for the past 40+ years and rode in Endymion a few times, go to the Endymion Extravaganza almost annually, as well as rode in Morpheus several times. I know what Mardi Gras is all about.

Still think its kind of messed up that this is the type of thing our QB (and his family) has to see during their first ever foray into parade season as a member of the community. It's a bad look from a national perception perspective.

Maybe he has a sense of humor? Maybe not though since clearly not everyone does.

I will laugh at most things. This just isnt funny to me, not because its offensive but because it’s just not funny. Seems like it was effective at grabbing attention though.
