Shock as New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr announces NFL retirement | Daily Mail Online


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-14698583/NFL-quarterback-Derek-Carr-announces-retirement.html

Career earnings: $195,000,000
Career game scenario: 325 yards passing with a pick 6 in last two minutes for loss.
Never won a single playoff game.

Nice way to create generational wealth if you can get the gig.

Adios!

attended games at the Coliseum from 67 - 81 sitting in the bleachers on the 45 yard line about 3/4's of the way up... great fans, great teams and so much fun in my youth. Crazy Al and bucket head have trashed all of that. When they returned from LA my brothers and father discussed getting tix again and correctly decided not to waste the money. Time has proven us to be right.... The Raiders died in about 1985 for me....

Back when the Raiders were featured on Hard Knocks, I decided that Carr was a total phony (I know those shows are highly edited, but still... ). And his play on the field was as-per-bearister. Of course, he can laugh at me, all the way to the bank.

Been listening to lots of heads discussing Carr…his most memorable play to a person, and in his long career ,was when he broke his ankle.

Maybe he can go coach at Bakersfield Christian high school. His brother Darren is still head coach there.

Current ESPN.com story:
"How the Saints' offense could change with QB Tyler Shough"

Uhm, how about, "Unbelievably, it could suck even more."

Because it p@isses you off.

Carr is the equivalent of an NBA point guard that averaged 25 points per game for 11 years but not once during that career ever made a clutch shot when the game was on the line, and usually in those situations, never even hit the apparatus.

All athletes that make millions do so because of people who care about athletics as fans when they logically should not give a hoot.

Fan is short for "fanatic" . . .
While I still get emotionally involved, it's not like years ago. Now, when a Cal QB throws a couple of interceptions, it's bad day at work for him. He certainly doesn't care if I have a bad day at work, so it's foolish for me to get upset if he has one.

EDIT - But here's a confession, I still have a sheet of Oakland Raider autographs that I'll never part with. Too bad I lost the envelop - it was postmarked Boca Raton, Florida. Yep, Super Bowl II.
