Does anyone have a sense of the “work” Derek Carr puts in? (1 Viewer)

For years we saw film of Drew Brees, forever working on his craft. On the field hours before the game, going through his motions, preparing his mind and body for the game. We heard stories of Drew being at the facility on bye weeks, literally playing a game in his mind on the practice field so that his muscle memory didn’t get time off.

I’m not trying to compare Carr to Brees, I’m just curious if we ever hear of or see anything like this from Carr. He doesn’t seem to me to have that same drive (and maybe very few do) but I admit I really don’t know - I’m sure he has some kind of regimen, but does anybody know?

He’s definitely not putting in work like the elite QB’s. I’m not even sure he puts in as much work as Jameis.

Earlier this season Pat Kirwan said that Carr likes to make a big show of being the most prepared player on offense, but the reality is something different. Kirwan rarely makes those kinds of comments, so I would say his preparation is probably lacking.

It was after the Jags game, Kirwan basically called out Carr for trying to make it seem like the offense was struggling because everyone else was unprepared. We learned later that Kirwan was right on that one.

Without any inside info…the constant issues of “not being on the same page” is usually because of a lack of time on task.

If it were just one WR, we could at least leave open the idea that it’s the WR not putting in the necessary extra work.

But…it’s not.

We need to send him packing along with the coaches!

For the love of god, can we at least wait until the game ends to start this retread.

Peoples hopes for Carr (mine included) were something he could never live up to. He's just not a top tier QB. I think we can win with him with proper coaching but Carr combined with subpar coaching is a perfect storm of failure.

He needs to not be on the field inside the 20.

Yelling, screaming…

Can you elaborate?

Why does he need to put in work when he has those nifty shoes?

Yeah PK is usually pretty on point with stuff like that.

Just my speculation, but one thing that all coaches have raved about is Jameis’ work ethic. Even DA has commented on it in the past. The problem with Jameis is his in game decision making that’ll never get fixed.

I haven’t heard a thing about Carr’s work ethic from anyone. Not saying that he doesn’t put in work, but it doesn’t seem that it’s over the top that people take the time to mention it.

100%

He has zero football instincts and no knack for the endzone
