Derek Carr faced criticism from fans regarding his performance with the New Orleans Saints, especially considering high expectations following his move from the Las Vegas Raiders. Some fans expressed discontent with Carr’s salary, labeling him a ‘scammer’ on social media platforms like Instagram. Carr chose not to engage with this criticism, stating that he’s not focused on such matters anymore.
Factors such as coaching issues under HC Dennis Allen and OC Pete Carmichael Jr., as well as Carr’s own health struggles, contributed to his challenges on the field. Despite these difficulties, Carr managed to guide the Raiders to the playoffs and post respectable statistics at times. With another season ahead and a better understanding of his teammates, Carr aims to rebound and demonstrate that his previous struggles were not indicative of his true capabilities.
