The Saints once again failed to make a comeback. The 3-4 Saints lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. While many factors were responsible for this loss, Derek Carr was the most questioned by fans after the second consecutive loss of the Saints. The 5-2 Jaguars won the game at the Bayou Stadium, even with their flaws, making them the leader of the NFC South division.

The Saints’ loss was an ugly one, and so was the Jaguars’ win. But a win is a win, and a loss is a loss. To put it mildly, the New Orleans QB’s performance did not impress the viewers.

Even though the Saints came into Week 7 with a lot of confidence about making a comeback, there was no action till late in the game. It was natural for the Jaguars to jump at the opportunity. Yet, one player caught the eyes of the viewers the most, not in a good way. Fans pointed out a number of times when he passed the ball without checking. So much so that a fan even pointed out Carr’s position, which was nowhere near the Jaguars’ defender when he scored a TD.

Moreover, Derek Carr was accused of not playing properly in the third quarter and throughout the game. Following this, there have been rumors about the Saints QB being replaced by Jameis Winston. Slanting away from the authorities, the fans have an opinion of their own, and it is not always in agreement with the officials.

As the saying goes, a coin has two sides. Similarly, some fans completely agree with the QBs’ performance being poor. Most fans agree that the QB had lost hope and was not even trying toward the end of the third quarter.

Whereas some disagree, saying that it was others’ fault as well. For this, the fan believed that TE Foster Moreau must have watched the ball.

On the other hand, the people who agreed to the fact that he performed poorly and even pitched to the head coach to replace him.

Some even went to the extent of saying that the entire team, especially Carr and Chris Olave, aren’t good enough.
