derek carr is the new tony romo
Zero int in CAMP! lol that's our BAR!!!! should of traded CARR! If you don't think you can win the division!!!
No question. INCREDIBLY UNDERRATED. Devontae knew what he was doing.
Devonte is a really smart guy. He could have stayed in GB for more money, but he chose LV.
@@jakegoreify how y’all both spell his name wrong lol
Who is Devontae?
@@P_o_l_a_r_i_s probably the same as whoever devonte is
@@antonhollins7786 Is he good? I think we should sign him.......
Everyone talkin down on Carr, keep in mind this dude has had a new coach damn near every two years, average/ below average WR’s, and statistically the Raiders defense has been the worst in last 20 years. I’d like to see any other QB overcome the ruggs situation, coach being fired in the middle of the season, losing two starting Oline men for the year, and one of the worst defenses in the league, and STILL get your team to the playoffs!
Facts 💯💯💯
Carr got Renfrow to a pro bowl and got Nelson Agholor paid haha everybody and they momma knew Agholor wasn’t good before he was playing with Carr.
With 6 game winning drives last year; including one to get them in the playoffs
You could also say the reason Carr has a new head coach almost every season is because he couldn't play well enough to keep his head coaches. With the exception of Gruden who self-imploded, everyone else couldn't win enough to keep their jobs. And the starting QB and leader of the team shares some blame.
@@sportsavant2937 Yeah because Carr is responsible for playing defense as well… all positions at that.. 😹 nice try!
I've really liked Carr since day 1. When he got injured in 2017 just before playoffs, I felt like he was the next emerging star QB.
2016
My favorite team and favorite QB of the franchise since I've been a fan(since 2000). DC has been slept on for awhile, 2016 was his best year and the team was on the way to the AFC Championship at the least, until he broke his leg. The guy has never had a true #1 wideout besides a young Amari Cooper who really didnt want to be there. Multiple coaching changes and system changes, and has still put numbers up. Now he has Davante, Hunter, Waller, and my sleeper Foster Moreau and a legit and consistent staff and system.
Love foster as the TE2 this team is lowkey deep
Not that this changes anything but I love the “Drew Brees was slightly higher” and he was literally 5% higher 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Drew did get to chuck a lot of slants to Michael Thomas though
Colin I assure you CARR has always had a strong arm. A straight up Cannon.
Stronger than Mahomes too, there’s a video out there
😅😂🤣😂🤣🤣
@@chrisschrock5117 raiders fans man 🤣🤣
@@finessewrld23 I tried looking for the video where Carr and his cannon out throws mahomes...doesn't exist. Josh Allen MIGHT have a stronger arm...I would love to see them compete in a 90's style qb challenge. But that prolly won't ever happen.
@@chrisschrock5117 it took me 1 minute to find. With a running start Mahomes throws 76 yards , Allen threw 75 with a 2-3 step run. Carr got 74 standing still.
The last time DC went an entire camp without throwing an interception was 2016 when they went to the playoffs and he was an MVP contender. The only difference is that year they didn't have the 3 best receivers at their specific positions in the NFL.
Uh no. Devante is debatable as the top, but hunter renfrow is just diet Cooper kupp. Also I don't even know who the third is so he def isn't the best in the league.
Just realized you meant waller, my bad, but he's debatable as the top. Def not the clear best.
@@zacharyomalley355 renfrow is the best slot receiver and waller is the best pass catching tight end and Adams is the best receiver period and it's not debatable. Numbers don't lie.
@@danmeyers2506 how you gonna say renfrow is a better slot than the guy that won all of the receiving awards last year? Kupp is the best slot receiver and all around receiver in the league.
@@zacharyomalley355 Kupp plays a bigger amount of snaps outside the slot then he does in. He isn’t a slot receiver
About time carr get the recognition he deserves
We all recognize him as a loser.
Zay Jones and Marvin Jones would not be the Pats WR1. Nick has not watched a Pats game since Meyers became WR1 if he genuinely thinks that
Parker > every receiver on Jags. Only problem is he can’t stay consistently healthy
Pats WRs are trash
Carr is very underrated👀👍🏼
Frfr
How? Bc he puts up numbers? So what. Where is the success
@@mobilepwr2 the teams around him have been mediocre at best. It’s a team sport
@@raidersacdc4892 so has the teams Cousins has played for and he gets nothing but hate. He played for teams (redskins) that were worse then any raiders teams and he put up better numbers then Carr.
@@gagebarretto3515 That argument would’ve worked if he was still with Washington but he’s not. The last two years he’s had a top 3 WR in Justin Jefferson, one of the best redzone targets in Adam Thielen, and top a 5 RB in Dalvin Cook. The only thing that’s lacked is the OL but even then Carr’s has been worse. They’re not the same lol.
amazing analysis!!
The raiders have one of the worst secondaries in the league. Doesn't surprise me
I mean we really don’t tho. We have some talented guys in that secondary. The worst player would be Abrams. And he’s still decent
@@trev9168 Our corners give up yards like they're going out of style
@@GenerationalDisappointment well for one last year we had a lot of injury’s in our secondary and we’ve added 2-3 starters in the off-season. And 2nd the cover 3 system is designed to give up alot of yards underneath and limit big plays. And outside of when guys like Nixon had to play we didn’t give up alot of deep plays. Context matters
By far most underrated look I thought he was awful at first too but the level of leadership & ability he showed in the face of a complete mess grew my respect so much! That’s what a franchise qb should be light even in times of dark
Can’t even get passed playoff’s 🤣😂
Well if you thought he was awful at first, you didn’t watch him in college or probably never played
@@whip7107 balling out in Fresno st is cool and all but let’s not pretend like fresno state don’t be playing schools most people never knew existed , & he was barely above average for first couple years was it all on him no but it never is on a team game but he as the qb gets sole responsibility
Carr is the most underrated player in the league arguably, people just weren’t watching him due to the teams he had around him until recently
We'll see when the season starts.
Totally agree about Carr. You can add that he also overcomes injuries. I remember when he broke his back and came back the next week. Then there was the time he broke his pinky on his throwing hand and came back in the 4th quarter to lead the comeback. Even when he broke his leg there were reports that he was trying to come back for the playoff game 2 weeks later. Dude is insanely tough, yet people still call him soft somehow 🤔
Big Facts
Best take yet by Colin
Carr is the definition of perseverance. That what he meant to say
6:18 Nick Wright says "I think the Jacksonville Jaguars will have the same if not more wins than the New England Patriots this year". Saving this for later lol
I think Colin is the best football talk show. They are really good at finding narratives that others don't notice. With that said I think he bad at picking good players and teams, I like it lol. As a KC fan I have much respect for Carr playing great and not letting the termoil make him bad. I think he at a point where the next couple seasons will define his narrative between bad, good, or great. Right now I still think he ok to good range. I am interested if the McDaniels connection doesn't help take him to another level. His QB play with Del Rio too aggressive, Gruden too conservative, last year after Gruden I think he just let loose and didn't do bad.
When the Raiders had Ruggs he was a different QB he had two great games against the Chiefs when Ruggs was on the team it really made a difference.
That's why I tune in to this man's show. He has facts not feelings!
CARR’s biggest issue is he allowed “YEEEEEARS of Poor front line, get in to his head. That it. He is a great quarterback the Raider’s fans don’t appreciate near enough.
We actually appreciate him a ton. Not sure where you're getting that sentiment from. He's been loyal to us and has never disrespected the fans or organization when we've been bad or didn't have the pieces needed to go all the way. He's always performed for us and we felt awful for him when he got hurt right before getting to the playoffs.
overstating with "YEEEEARS" He for sure had a timid moments in his career with pocket pressure but they were all in 2017 the year after he broke his ankle and then in the same year came back after 2 games where he fractured his spine and finished the season. 2018 he was still timid but he hasn't looked back since 2019.
Yet he has top #'s vs the blitz and under pressure soooo........
@@GenerationalDisappointment I actually like Carr. I think the Raiders as an organization has been the issue, not Carr, not so much for he players either. Maybe moving will help the front office and ownership refocus.
I remember Colin saying "not throwing interceptions are overrated" when it came to Aaron Rodgers. Now he starts his statement off with Carr have not thrown an interception in "camp"....... Colin contradict himself a lot
Difference is, all of those teams draft high in the first round.
I feel you Colin I've always been high on Derek Carr, and gotten a lot of flack for it. Love watching him clutch games...and I'm a Packers fan.
A few years ago someone said Matthew Stafford is Derrick Carr with a better arm. I told him that it was actually a compliment.
Carrs more accurate
@@aryanna5852 I wouldn't say that. Stafford's deep ball percentage is higher. He takes more chances. Stafford is 1 of only 2 players ever to throw 45k yards with less than 150 ints. Car is right on par to be another if he keeps his play up. They are also both married to cheer leaders.
Facts about Derek Carr 💯!!!
DEREK CARR IS MY GOAT. HE'S THE PERFECT FIT FOR THE RAIDERS. SUPERBOWL BOUND
The only chance Carr has at smelling the SB is if he leave the raiders 😂
@@finessewrld23 I don't want to hear it. Chargers are the biggest frauds I've seen. I love Herbert but y'alls defense is embaressing for the talent y'all have
Are we sure that Colin isn’t secretly Derek Carr’s dad?
Just means their defense is trash 😂
Good take! Carr is absolutely elite.
Rams spending the 7th most on receivers makes me more confident in a repeat for some reason
Damn most accurate QB in NFL!!! Wow
We shall see Colin
David Carr is the Brazil of the NFL. So much potential unfulfilled, forever.
"I'm worried about the raiders because I don't think their defense is any good... Also Carr not throwing a interception all camp is amazing."
Should be ah indictment of the defense lol
I been saying this is the year hes gonna shine over the haters
ugh the ice cap in Antarctica literally grew by 30% in 2020
30 years age I was *taught* in school that NYC, Miami, and Baltimore would be underwater in 2020. How's that global..thingy working out? I don't think more money from my labor will change the outdoor thermostat.
Derek Carr's "it" is that he's a leader. He always takes full responsibility for bad plays and never blames the play calling. Every player only has good things to say about him and he treats his team like a family. Everyone respects him. He's one of the best leaders in the NFL
And he speaks when the owner hides.... He had to answer the media when they were moving to Vegas and was playing in Oakland. He had to speak to the media when the Gruden emails came out when the owner hid and issued a weak statement. He had to speak to the media after Ruggs when the owner again hid behind an issued statement. Mark Davis hides when it gets bad and marches Derek out there to answer questions he shouldn't have to.
And he’s never had a good defense. The one year it was marginal they won 12 games and woulda won 13 if Carr didn’t get hurt.
Honestly I think last years defense was better than 2016.
@@bradleybreslin945 in 2016 they got tons of turnovers! I think Reggie Nelson led the league in INT that year.
Let’s be fair here. Colin doesn’t think they have the defense to compete with the division. Well they have a new coordinator and a pair of pretty good pass rushers. A new corner & one coming back healthy. We just don’t know what the defense is going to look like when the real games begin
@@raidersacdc4892 the defense doesn’t need to be elite by any means. If they can produce some more turnovers than last year that will be huge. If the defense can be a 18-20 overall unit they can compete with anyone.
Khalil Mack was forcing fumbles too
Thank you. DC slander is insane.
Carr is his new Jimmy G lol
Thus guy knows football
Glaciers melt?!!! OH MY GAWD!!! That's never happened before! This must be serious!
I feel great about the Raiders this season. Not super bowl great but they are scary.
I did a top ten list on the show I produce and both the host and I listed him at 10 without Watson and 11 with. He’s right in that 8-11 range, anyone that has him lower just doesn’t get football. He may not be Mahomes or Rodgers but he’s a very good quarterback who has overcome a lot
It’s been years Colin. His name is Josh McdanielS, with an S at the end. Been hearing him say josh McDaniel for years it drives me crazy
Football is a team game at the end of the day. yes QB play is a critical part of being able to win or lose but the Raider's issue are elsewhere. Carr is doing most than his fair share to keep the Raiders competitive... But Qb's play is not the only factor for a team to win or lose...There has been plenty of very average Qb's in NFL story going far in the playoffs for a variety of reason, although mostly a combo of strong running game and great D. So Carr can put up all the numbers he want, but will need the other units to do their part for the Raiders to come up with a better record....
Carr is 31 years old 8 years in the lg with 2 winning seasons and no playoff wins. Record 57-70….. if that’s production from an “elite” qb then this lg is stacked. It’s funny how we move the success line for different people. Lamar 25 1-3 on the playoffs and “he needs to prove he can play well in the playoffs”. Car 31 0-2 and he’s elite…….ok…… carr season high in Tds is 32 while Lamar is 36. I figured I’ll add that before people ask about throwing
Yes Colin glaciers melt when a planet leaves an ice age period, as it turns out we are going thru exactly that.
except the glaciers aren't melting.
been saying this Carr underrated asl
He really thought he was gonna say Carr hasn’t thrown a interception in the red zone in a few years. We’re talking about practice? Not a game?🗣 AI voice😂😂😂
The Pats should just pay off whoever schedules the Steelers WR scout’s collegiate trips and follow that dude around.
Completely agree on Carr. Also the Packers draft and develop the offensive side of the ball as good as any team in the league especially along the offensive line.
these teams can draft* names teams that have been drafting in the top 10 picks or better for how many seasons? lol
Everything Colin is discussing regarding Derek Carr is correct and the same with Tua. Both players are in deeply flawed organizations. Furthermore, Colin's thoughts on the Browns organization are spot on, yet somehow Baker Mayfield doesn't get the benefit of the doubt even though Baker has won in the playoffs and performed well in both games but neither Derek nor Tua have won a playoff game. When it comes to Baker, Collin is the guy who wants to be right vs the guy who is right.
Carr has mastered the whole “new offense” thing. Dude is just a flat out baller. He’ll make you bring your A+ game all damn day
😂
Gotta Win…..
Highest completion Chart how many teams have made playoffs since 2018
Who’s here now that Collin came to his senses on carr
Derek Carr is definitely underrated! But does anyone else remember the time the media made a huge deal of Marcus Mariota went a full training camp without throwing an interception?
Carr is a better QB than Marcus
I don't disagree about Carr but all I will say is if he flounders with the roster and this coaching staff then he is not. However I REALLY don't see that happening! The bad part is what division he is in
Also had to overcome the stigma of his brothers career.
another pro derek carr colin segment? no way
To be fair to the Patriots, they were 7-9 in 2020, and 10-7 and play-off team in 2021. Colin acted like they didn't improve after spending a lot in the preseason leading up to the 2021 season. They clearly did improve.
The glaciers have always been melting
I mean it’s also against the raiders defense, who famously doesn’t get picks
I took Carr is fantasy because of this video and he has not shown up for me. His first game he threw 3 interceptions. 😂😂
I think it’s more so an indictment on their secondary… what is Herbert gonna do to them?
"Not a single int in camp..." He's saving those for the regular season.
I’m just tired of Colin talking about how good Carr is every other day. WE GET IT!!
Carr is colin 🐐
Resilient. I think that's the "IT" factor you're alluding to. Resilience.
Sports isn't about stats, it's about winning under adversity, toughest division doesn't matter the best will shine period
Not throwing interceptions in camp isn’t necessarily a good thing. Training camp is the time to take risks and see what you can get away with.
If you’re a Raiders fan Carr throwing no picks would worry me about that defense again.
Maybe he is saving the interception for regular season! 🤣
DC is a Top 5 QB!!! Finally getting his Props!
SuperBowl Bound!!!
it's like he gets the doghouse because hes in Oakland... He plays consistently and does it with less goes into dallas beats them on thanksgiving... they were supposed to be the best offense in the nfl... then beats herbert head to head to get in the playoffs...
Is David Carr The AFC Matthew Stafford? He needs consistency. Oh wait. He is the Raiders consistency. Rooting for Carr and the Silver Warriors
Completion percantage is high because he's throwing to t.e.s and r.b.s 80 percent of the time for 5 years straight.Come from behind is subjective,field goal at 6 minute mark of fourth quarter considered game winning drive .He is top 10 though,and should put up some yards this year with Devante.
He’s top 5 in deep throws so suck it easy hater and come with facts not your bs opinion
Uncommon Cowherd W with the take on Derek Carr, only to be undercut by Nick Wright stating Pats/Jags will have the same record.
This is indicative of how bad our DBs are
So the Raiders' defense has zero interceptions in camp...
I am so excited for football man. The entire summer to me, tv is incredibly boring. Because I watch sports or sports shows. And sports shows only when sports are on. Anyways. Can't wait for this season of basketball and football.
Collin says that the patriots dont draft the offense that well and I'll admit they have been bad a at drafting WR and TE lately, but they draft the o-line amazing and are good at find mid draft Rbs. Damian Harris and Rhmondre Stevenson were both 3rd round picks. On top if that look at the O-line out side of Wynn and strange who are first rounders all of the startes on the o-line over the last 5 years have been late round gems. Mason and Thuney who are both unfortunately not on the team any more were both 5th rounders and some of the best guards in the league. Owenu who I think is one of the best and most underrated young guards in the league at the moment was 6th rounder. Even though we didn't draft him trent brown was a 7th. And David Andrews a good veteran center was undrafted. I don't understand how thag doesn't constitue as good drafting just because they weren't high round picks? Plus while it may be considered a no Brainer, taking Mac Jones was a good pick
Derek Carr is probably my personal favorite for Mvp.
O
I like Carr a lot, but hes more top tier 2 vs tier 1 imo
Maybe the Raiders defense is just not that good. That may have something to do with him not throwing an interception in camp.
The 4th quarter comeback one is dubious. Because of all that dysfuncton youre going to have a lot more opportunities to have 4th quarter comebacks, compared to Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes who already won by 10
Umm look at his passer rating debate over
I cannot stand how he continues to leave Justin Herbert out
Wait so carr hasn’t thrown a pick in camp with arguably the best wr in the league when he’s not getting hit ever???
The raiders strength on D is their pass rush and in camp you can't hit the QB hahahahahaha
Idk where you are getting your stats, if you google passing rates he is 15th in the NFL last season. Really hard stretch to say he is most accurate….
To be fair they have a bottom 5 secondary lol
Take care of your throat before the season Colin!
