Derek Carr - Why People Dislike Him (IMO) (2 Viewers)

[whodatdds84]

As is everyone (hopefully) else, I’m very displeased with Derek Carr. I got to thinking last night after our game and I’d had a bit to settle down…why do I dislike this person so much?

I grew up playing high school football and we always sucked, I’m used to not winning every game.

When he blames his teammates in public the way he does, I cannot BELIEVE this staff doesn’t discipline him for this. This is why we are losing. None of his teammates, thank God, are toddlers like he is. So they are going to praise him. Heck even Jameis will only publicly say good things.

Derek Carr sucking on the field is one thing, he’s clearly lost and is a terrible QB. But the fact that he’s disrespectful to his teammates, and the leadership (coaches and FO) think it’s ok to gaslight fans into believing we are good and he’s doing great is perplexing.

I remember Drew being upset with receivers for running the wrong routes. Not one time do I ever remember him, with a camera on him, throwing his hands up and blaming the receiver. Never! What I did see was Drew walk over to the sidelines and grab his tablet and the receiver and sort things out. Hell he’d even take blame for others’ mistakes. As a professional, this is the biggest way to win over your team.

I know we can compare DC to Drew, they’re in a totally different universe. On the field, I’m ok with that. Off the field is where DC aggravated the ever living hell out of me. Grow up already. And the staff acting like it’s ok is ridiculous. He should be benched for a game the next time he blows up at someone like that. I don’t care who plays QB, get this clown away from my team.

We were so spoiled with, probably the best leader to ever play professional sports. Drew even impacted the way I lead in my own professional life. My family, my team, etc. Leaders take fault for losing and leaders give credit to everyone else for winning. Yes we want to win, but it’s like double losing when you have such a terrible person at QB, which is a leadership position.

People dislike him because he hasn't played well. They may say it's about his "attitude" or whatever, but none of them would care about him getting upset with players if he were playing like Mahomes or Brady or Rodgers, or any number of QBs who often got on their own players during games.

Carr has plenty of flaws, but I think he gets way too much hate and blame.

Drew Brees ruined this franchise forever.

He is the gold standard for competitiveness, leadership, hard work, dedication, and winning.

No one else will ever live up to Drew, and some segment of our fanbase will have vitriol for whoever we have under center, because they too, will fall short of the standards that Drew set.

The reason you never saw Drew doing those things is because Sean Payton was doing those things himself. Like a good head coach would. Somebody has to get pissed during games and make those corrections on the spot. Our coaches have left that job to Carr because nobody else on the field seems to care.

My theory is.... If we had the #1 offense in the NFL, and we were leading the division by 4 games.... No one would care how he acts after a negative play. Just a theory though.

Coming in to a new city, a new team, new coaches, new scheme, different fans…It’s very difficult to win people over, especially if you’re losing. Listening to Carr in post game interviews he just sounds exhausted. He hears the boos, he feels the pressure, and i respect him for continuing to go out there and compete, but he does need to stop showing up the players on the field. It’s one thing to lose the fan base, it’s another to lose the locker room. If that doesn’t get fixed he won’t be here long.

Excactly, it’s amazing that this has to be written and not known intuitively. So if Carr did what Mahomes did Last night, people from this board would want him publicly hanged. But if he was as successful as Drew or Mahomes, they'd shut their mouths. lol Same goes with JW, peoplle,wouldn't say anything negative if he played better.

Well it's easier to take when the team is winning

However when the team sucks and the $50 million quarterback is not putting up $50 million stats or winning , it's easy to point the finger at the douchebag who's making other players yell at him.


Look at Aaron Rodgers, he comes across as enormous douchebag, but he is a winner

I guarantee you if he's putting up the numbers that Derek Carr was putting up, not many people would put up with his attitude.

It's as simple as that.

He won’t be here long. He’s going to retire, and one more concussion will be enough reason. Then the ppl griping about his 150M contract will be amazed that he defaulted on it to retire. So I wouldn’t get too comfortable thinking he’ll be here.

Because he's a phony and it's very easy to see through

Good phony? Like " Man that Michael Jordan is so phony"?

No sheet, most fans are hypocrites, well said.

I'm not a Carr apologist, but there's plenty of blame to go around on this team.

1. There's no leadership at the top: Ownership (I love Mrs. B. but she's not a vocal owner), GM (he's passive too), and most importantly from DA
2. The offensive line is been inconsistent all season ranging from atrocious at times to slightly above adequate at times. Maybe it's the coaching. Maybe it's the QB making bad assignment calls. Maybe it's the physical tools of the players. Maybe it's the mindset of the players (this trickles down to the leadership of the coaches and from the QB)
3. There have been times when he's look really good, but I don't know if those have been so infrequent because of his ability, the blocking, his injuries, the depth and quality at receiver, or maybe it's the play calling.

The obvious solution to me is a complete reset this off-season with a new head coach that is 1. offensive minded and 2. commands the respect of the players.

Let’s remove the Drew factor out bc I’m sure we all knew that things were not going to be that level for awhile.

I have yet to go hard on DC4 as of now. I still think he could be a viable option for us, but his deficiencies in the redzone and not calling out the correct protection on 3rd down blitzes are a little concerning. I could be off base, but those are 2 very important things for an offense.

I think that people dislike his demeanor and lack of play consistency, as opposed to him as a person.
