“Trash a** Raiders” – NFL Twitter BASHES the Las Vegas Raiders for ruining Derek Carr’s illustrious career and his legacy by benching him

The biggest news in week 17 of the NFL is the Las Vegas Raiders benching star quarterback Derek Carr after his poor run this season for the team. Carr, who has been the main man on the team for quite a few years now has also left the team’s camp after he was given the news. It is a clear sign by the Raiders that they are looking beyond Carr.

With just two games remaining and the playoff spot out of reach for them, the team is looking to experiment with their second-string quarterback. It also is almost certain that Carr will leave the team at the end of this season. Ahead of the season, the Raiders extended Carr’s contract and gave him a $121.5M, 3-year extension but little did they know that this was only going to last for 15 games.

To put light on how bad this season has been for Carr, he has thrown 14 interceptions in 15 games and has struggled big time under new head coach Josh McDaniels. He has 3 interceptions against the Steelers last week which eventually cost them the game and resulted in the team getting knocked out of the playoff picture. The Raiders will save around $29M against the cap once they decide to release Carr. The 31-year-old was with the team for 9 seasons and it is very likely that the last week’s game he played against the Steelers was his last for the franchise.

Fans on social media had mixed reactions over Carr getting benched by the Raiders. While some Raiders fans were very welcoming of the call and even said that it is too late, other think that Carr is a Raiders legend and his legacy should’ve been preserved.

After he just got all that money lol

A bad coach ruining a great player’s legacy. This is pathetic. Good thing @derekcarrqb is Derek Carr.

Legacy? Zero playoffs wins isn't a legacy.

However, I don't blame Carr for the team's failures this year, at least no fully. McDaniels is by far a worse HC than Carr is a QB

I’ll let you know Carr is not the problem lol why y’all play with that man legacy

If you give him credit for last year who gets the blame for the previous seasons where they sucked?

Horrible Decision https://t.co/5F8jtxirtw

We all know the raiders defense isn’t good by any means but… when the offense can’t stay in the field and creates turnovers it makes it harder on the defense to keep points off the board

It was only a matter of time https://t.co/riuqh9tP6D

They never helped the man on defence I know he’s not elite but damnn

— Abdul_abubakar (@ABDULKAYYOUM10) December 28, 2022

Possibly the end of the Carr era…those who know me know I’ve been the biggest Carr supporter over the last 9 years. While I’m not entirely opposed to finding new talent, the one calling the plays (McDaniels) is MUCH much more to blame for this season. https://t.co/gxiKVQl1n7

IMO this man gets disrespected and overlooked more than anybody in the league. Been handed lousy defenses. Good numbers in the 4th quarter/close games. Great leader of men. Hope my Colts go get this guy. https://t.co/n2LajsZQGZ

Lmfaooo trash ass raiders 💀 https://t.co/SfeOMxKB1A

The Raiders are currently 6-9 for the season and with a new change, will want to see some fresh moves in the remaining two games. They will face in-form San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs in the coming two weeks and would love to have two big wins over playoff-bound teams. Jarrett Stidham will start as the quarterback for the Raiders in the next two games.
