OT: Derek Carr with a savage and entertaining remark about his playing future
For your Friday-eve entertainment, I present this clip of Derek Car being interviewed during the skills competition. Derek lit up the precision passing drill. After the drill, there was this exchange during an interview:
ESPN: "Have you ever been that hot in Las Vegas?"
Carr: "Not that hot... it's probably why I'm going somewhere else."
Brilliant.
Have a great weekend all!

- humility

Personally, I would have preferred:
Vegas overlooks winning QB. You'll never guess what he said!
February 2nd, 2023 at 11:02 PM ^
+1 for your efforts and for genuflecting to the new thread title king.
February 2nd, 2023 at 11:08 PM ^
+1.
I'm trying; when I grow up I want to be just like you.
February 2nd, 2023 at 11:26 PM ^
OK…enough of this mutual admiration society🤣
February 3rd, 2023 at 2:01 AM ^
Is this called an mgo-internal audit?
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:43 PM ^
Ha! Good for him. He’ll be fine long term. A lot of teams need a good QB and he’s solid. Indy comes to mind as does Washington and maybe Carolina. Miami given Tua’s history?
February 2nd, 2023 at 9:52 PM ^
Tua will be showing CTE symptoms when he's 30, he should retire now.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
My heart breaks for Tua.
If anyone needs to walk away, it needs to be him.
I wish someone who had his best interests at heart would tell Tua to hang 'em up.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:06 PM ^
Exactly, I don't wish that disease on anyone. It's gotta be brutal for them, family and friends.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:06 PM ^
tragically true. that second dinger should've put him on the sideline for the season, and maybe his career. yet they put him in, what, 2 weeks later? that video of him was enough to draw a visceral reaction if you watched it. scary business.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:15 PM ^
yet they put him in, what, 2 weeks later?
I lost any remaining faith in the NFL after that one. It's still a billion dollar business first... and art imitates life; RE: Any Given Sunday or Ballers.
The NFL's concussion protocol is nothing more than a PR move -- healthcare theatre.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:36 PM ^
this is normal. really....
February 3rd, 2023 at 9:07 AM ^
The sad thing about that is the NFL could make it all so very real across the nation at all levels of football and still pay lip service in it's own league. Fund the necessary helmets from Pop Warner through high school, and reap the benefits while doing nothing for your own league in the short term.
A couple billion $$$? So the hell what? That's chump change for the NFL over 3-5 years (for the helmet roll-out) without even considering the benefit they'd get from it as a league. But the owners are so fucking greedy that they can't see past the short term.
February 3rd, 2023 at 2:00 PM ^
Hundred percent agree that an aggressive attempt to fix this would be in their and the public interest. If you saw the results on the front end they'd never get away with it. Kinda the way it works with wars, come to think of it. . . glorious marching off, little less so later.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
As Bill Parcells likes to say, "Playing quarterback in the NFL is hazardous to your health."
February 3rd, 2023 at 7:33 AM ^
MIke Alstott agrees heartily.
February 3rd, 2023 at 12:48 PM ^
As a Tampa native who grew up right as Dungy rolled into town, I can safely say one of my favorite players of all time to watch was/is Mike Alstott. Probably one of the last great fullbacks the game has seen or ever will see. Definitely a product of a different era who would not translate well into today’s game, save for maybe goal to go situations inside the five, but man he was fun to watch.
If anyone gets a chance, watch a clip of his run against the Browns from I believe the ‘02 or ‘03 season. I was at that game, and Alstott ran through, and over, what must’ve been 4-5 different defenders before he finally went down. Wasn’t a matter of Alstott out-juking the other guy or poor tackling. He was just that physically imposing and simply could not be brought down. Especially as he got a head of steam.
Trying to tackle that man was like trying to tackle a runaway freight train.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:14 PM ^
The Jets, Colts, and Commanders all have great rosters. Just missing that QB...
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:20 PM ^
Yeah, didn't realize he was available and Sam Darnold is a free agent. So Derek Carr would look good in Charlotte playing for the Panthers. Tepper is probably hoping to line up a qb draft pick but the Panthers future is now.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
Good stuff.
He's going to wind up somewhere decent and probably have a nice career resurgence.
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:09 PM ^
I’ve always liked Carr. I think he could have a career resurgence in a new spot like Goff as had. Even though it’s kinda weird to say resurgence when he’s put up near Pro Bowl #s every year of his career
February 2nd, 2023 at 10:17 PM ^
Yeah, I think this says more about the Raiders than it does Carr.
February 3rd, 2023 at 12:01 AM ^
SAVAGE!!!!!!!!!
February 3rd, 2023 at 7:45 AM ^
so totally savage.
February 3rd, 2023 at 3:46 AM ^
Carr in SF is a Superbowl contender.
February 3rd, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
Entertaining and funny yes, but "savage?" I'd use the term "self-deprecating."
February 3rd, 2023 at 1:27 PM ^
A real live human saying something real. LOVE it.
