00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.610
- Which NFL player had a
bad week one performance

2
00:00:02.610 --> 00:00:03.870
and it's gonna continue?

3
00:00:03.870 --> 00:00:05.580
DJ, who's your pick?

4
00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:06.750
- That's an easy one.

5
00:00:06.750 --> 00:00:08.460
My player is Derek Carr,

6
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.230
quarterback for the Las Vegas Raiders.

7
00:00:10.230 --> 00:00:11.063
You know why?

8
00:00:11.063 --> 00:00:12.420
Because he's been doing
this for a while now.

9
00:00:12.420 --> 00:00:14.850
He's one of the most polarizing
quarterbacks in the NFL.

10
00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:16.890
His last 11 games, 14 touchdowns,

11
00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:18.990
13 interceptions, 11 fumbles.

12
00:00:18.990 --> 00:00:21.420
He's gonna keep this trend
going because this is who he is.

13
00:00:21.420 --> 00:00:24.720
Extension, for that guy,
nah, it's not gonna work.

14
00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:26.880
- He's at least proven to
be successful in the past.

15
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:28.590
He's had a long-standing NFL career.

16
00:00:28.590 --> 00:00:29.880
He's got good receivers around him.

17
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:30.720
He could turn it around.

18
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.570
With Davante Adams, they have
a lot of potential there.

19
00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:35.160
They barely...

20
00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:37.523
They had a bad week,
but he can move forward.

21
00:00:37.523 --> 00:00:38.356
- Bruh.

22
00:00:38.356 --> 00:00:39.960
- Unlike my pick of Mac Jones.

23
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:41.550
The sophomore quarterback

24
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:44.400
is kind of just treading
water in New England.

25
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:48.810
He had the lowest QBR on
ESPN this week at 9.7.

26
00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:50.190
You know how hard you have to try-

27
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:51.023
- [Dj] That's true.

28
00:00:51.023 --> 00:00:53.370
- To have a low QBR like that?

29
00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:56.850
Plus, he threw only, I
think, what, for 213 yards.

30
00:00:56.850 --> 00:00:58.860
He had 21 completions out of 30 attempts.

31
00:00:58.860 --> 00:01:00.660
That is a 70% completion percentage,

32
00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:04.260
but only averaged 7.1 yards per reception.

33
00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:05.160
- Here's the thing though.

34
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:07.920
Mac Jones, only his
second year in the NFL.

35
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.380
Derek Carr, camera, a little closer here,

36
00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:12.930
this is a decade into his NFL career.

37
00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:14.790
He's throwing terrible
picks to Davante Adams,

38
00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:16.440
under throwing him on deep routes.

39
00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:18.210
This is just what he does.

40
00:01:18.210 --> 00:01:20.760
At some point, we gotta
realize we can't change him.

41
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:22.560
- What happened to Mac Jones
last year in the playoffs?

42
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.090
- Mac Jones was a rookie last year.

43
00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:25.740
- He got bulldozed by the Bills,

44
00:01:25.740 --> 00:01:27.000
and that defense made him look stupid.

45
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.250
- The Bills is one of the
best defenses in the NFL.

46
00:01:29.250 --> 00:01:30.083
- Facts.

47
00:01:30.083 --> 00:01:31.860
- Derek Carr is ten years in the NFL.

48
00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:33.780
It's like trying to change
him is like a woman trying

49
00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:35.550
to change a man a decade
into the relationship.

50
00:01:35.550 --> 00:01:36.780
He is who he is.

51
00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:37.613
Move on.

52
00:01:37.613 --> 00:01:40.260
- That sounds like a you
problem, not a me problem.

53
00:01:40.260 --> 00:01:41.850
- You know what? I'm gonna let that slide.

54
00:01:41.850 --> 00:01:42.930
But thanks for watching.

55
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:44.306
Stick with Deadspin for more.

56
00:01:44.306 --> 00:01:46.564
(upbeat rock music)
