Derek Carr has to be in some serious trouble. When he arrived in New Orleans, he expected things to be different; he hoped that he would be in a place that wanted him. However, he is struggling to make it through one season with the team.

Carr has gotten into altercations with his teammates on previous occasions, the most notable one being when he flipped out at Chris Olave for not catching the ball despite having thrown it out of bounds.

This time, one of Carr’s teammates gave it back to him. Offensive lineman Erik McCoy was seen yelling at Carr and was outraged at his QB after a play in the 3rd quarter of the New Orleans Saints matchup against the Carolina Panthers in week 14. Carr got sacked on the 3rd down play, which ultimately led to the Saints bringing in their special teams for the 4th down.
