‘Pisses Me Off’: Las Vegas Raiders QB Derek Carr Breaks Down In Tears During Postgame Interview

It has been a rough season for the Las Vegas Raiders.

Following yet another loss Sunday to the Jeff Saturday-led Indianapolis Colts on the Raiders’ home field, quarterback Derek Carr let it all out during the postgame press conference.

The teary-eyed quarterback appeared to cast doubt on some of his teammates for not putting in maximum amounts of effort.

“I wish everybody in that room felt the same way about this place — and as a leader that pisses me off, if I’m being honest,” Carr said.

With the loss, the Raiders dropped to 2-7 on the season.

It’s understandable how Carr is upset to lose again, but to be crying like that to the press as a team captain is an embarrassing look.

The Raiders are three games behind the Los Angeles Chargers for the final playoff spot in the AFC. After watching this train wreck of a season unfold, Raiders’ owner Mark Davis should consider firing head coach Josh McDaniels. From the looks of it, the Raiders will finish the regular season on the outside looking in with McDaniels leading the way.

McDaniels has proved time and time again that he is not fit to be an NFL head coach. In his head coaching career, he has an overall record of 13-24. The long-time New England Patriots offensive coordinator dropped the ball as the Denver Broncos’ coach from 2009-2010 and is doing the same now with Vegas.

After acquiring stud wide-receiver DaVante Adams over the offseason in a trade with the Green Bay Packers, it felt like a foregone conclusion that the Raiders would be back in the playoffs again this season. Yet, somehow, they managed to get drastically worse. If blame is needed anywhere for their season being sour, it should rest squarely on the shoulders of McDaniels before any one player.

It’s hard to believe that the Raiders would be this bad under former head coach Jon Gruden. Gruden stepped down as the Raiders’ head coach in the middle of the season in 2021 after offensive emails from him that were deemed racist and homophobic surfaced online.

The situation with Gruden is sticky to say the least, but maybe enough time has passed where he can be forgiven so he can return to the sidelines again. Gruden was signed to a 10-year deal with the Raiders before his past emails came back to haunt him.

When your star quarterback is having an emotional breakdown in front of the media, you know your team has big issues.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
