“He’s a coach on the field instead of a player on the field,” said Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden during his Monday presser. He was talking about Raiders QB1 Derek Carr.
Carr has taken more than his fair share of criticism since his MVP level performance in 2016. He’s been accused of checking the ball down too much, he’s been accused of crying on the field, he’s been called soft, and people have said that he has no “dog” in him.
Derek Carr answered the critics on Sunday.
On Sunday against the Detroit Lions, Carr led his, franchise-record eighteenth career game-winning drive, and he did it by throwing strikes down the field.
