THAT'S MY QB!!!!

[@billybryson2009]

Can't wait to see him bring us a title!

[@mynameisgladiator1933]

What a great quarterback! And he's taking another huge leap this year. You can just see it. His accuracy is unbelievable now. His awareness. He releases the ball in 1.9 seconds on average this year. SB in Oakland this year. Sorry Tom Brady. We would have beaten you last year but we will this year - twice.

[@jadyncollons6819]

Your QB is 1-5 rn lol

[@24Kev]

@@jadyncollons6819 No. Our team was. Carr played exceptionally good this entire season without throwing an interception for 3 months of the season (almost broke the NFL record for most passes without an INT; holds 2nd or 3rd place) without reliable/talented recievers, without a strong o-line protection (worst in the league; he was sacked 51+ times this season and had an average of 2 seconds to throw the ball before being tackled), the defense averaged 30 points allowed per game with combining the least total sacks in the league (they combined 12 total and the 2nd worst was like 23 sacks) and Carr has only played in the same system for 2 years (he's entering next season with Gruden in his 2nd year; last time he played in a system for 2 years was in 2016 when the Raiders made the playoffs)

[@24Kev]

@@jadyncollons6819 Carr is a great quarterback, unless you ignore he's a Raider (which i'm assuming you dont like the Raiders) and ignore the TEAM record and pay attention to what he's done and how much better the Raiders have been with him, you'd see that too. Even if Carr was a quarterback on a different team, even a rival team in our division, I'd not only respect the man because of who he is on and off of the field, but I'd recognize talent and I wont deny that about him.

[@primetime5725]

Man I wish this was longer! I was really enjoying watching that. That's my QB!!

[@jeffgarrison7056]

Agreed. Good point my friend. I could easily watch a few hours of it and be smiling and happy the whole time. Hopefully they will make the long version of it after Carr and the Raiders wins us the Superbowl... and I'm hoping that happens very much sooner than later. Ideally in about 7 months from now... so around March 20th, 2021. Yessir!!! HAHAHA. Yeah, then like Derek said, he's hanging the championship banners in the rafters of the Raiders training facility and then doing it again, and again, and again, etc until he's an old man and they're kicking him out of there, which actually, he'll always be welcome, but yeah, I love Derek Carr and I'm so happy that he finally has the right players and coaches around him, finally, but I'm not complaining. I'm just excited and wish him and the entire Raiders team a completely healthy and well championship 2021-2022 season and again and again... etc. The man definitely deserves it and so does the organization and Raider Nation. It's time to just win baby!!! Let's make it happen!!! Vegas '21 Baby!!! RN4L

[@Saynt614]

He's everything to this team... the Raiders were simply deflated without him when he got injured last season.

[@sitizenkanemusic]

Captain Cartman dude the whole Nation was deflated when he got hurt. Not only the team. Any place there was raider fans had the energy sucked out of the room (even in the stadium). Everyone in Raider Nation was bummed out- not just the organization and players. I knew that it almost ruined the holiday season for me

[@ForeverBlastin]

Sitizen Kane you're so Right on!!

[@lukecuster1365]

I'm not religious in any sense, but I absolutely love his passion, and work ethic. He's such an amazing person and I am so thankful that he's the face of the franchise for the Raiders

[@jeffgarrison7056]

Yessir!!! DC4 is a stud!!! He's absolutely amazing and an excellent role model for the youth and adults alike. He's humble and respectful and a man of God. He's my all-time favorite player and QB. I love the dude. Stay healthy Derek Carr and just win baby!!! RN4L

[@thedon453]

As a bronco fan, I honestly really like this dude. He's everything you'd want in a qb, and so much more

[@jeffgarrison7056]

That's really cool of you to say. I used to despise Elway because he would almost always seem to make a comeback and beat us, but I always respected him as a person and as a player. Much respect to you, too. God bless.

Back here in 2021. He’s STILL my QB

[@sitizenkanemusic]

The thumbnail where Bakersfield Christian won the Valley championship... I was there. It was the infamous Fog Bowl in Corcoran (hour north of Bakersfield) where he took on my high school. We could hardly see the game the tule fog was so thick. My brother and cousin was playing in that game. They tried so hard to hate Derek but they just couldn't because he was such a cool guy. Us guys that grew up in the Central Valley want Derek to succeed so badly because we see him as one of us.

[@MrCocoMocoLoco2]

Sitizen Kane Fact. I'm from Lindsay and always rooted for him. Saw all his games at home when he was @ state.

Great college QBs the two of them. The NFL however is a different beast. You have to have a killer instinct attitude and as good people that they are, they just don't and never will have that killer instinct. Maybe now, with a chip on his shoulder maybe he'll do the things he refused to do for the Raiders. Primarily run the football 5 to 10 plays a game to keep defenses on their toes, and extend plays when they break down instead of just throwing the ball into the ground. Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, those guys are batman every play and it's why they are successful.
