The New Orleans Saints have had a ton of issues in the redzone and it is starting to take its toll on both team and fan morale.
A recent media availability session saw Derek Carr respond with a non-answer to NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill when pressed about his struggles in the red zone:
“I don’t know, man. Gotta ask coach Pete (Carmichael) and (Dennis Allen),” Carr deflected. “When you ask us we’re not gonna be able to give you all the answers that everyone wants to hear on the things we’re trying to work to do better. Schematics and player and all those kinds of things. And so, you’re gonna keep asking the same question I’m gonna keep giving a lot of words and no answer, you know, because I’m not gonna tell you.”
Carr has not thrown a touchdown pass in the past two games, totaling 10 of them in his first 11 games in New Orleans. Fans online are unhappy about his performance and now his attitude with the media, voicing their displeasure with Carr’s answer from across social media:
acting like he’s uncovered the power to time travel and doesn’t want to share it
it’s the last 20 yards on a football field not a top secret classified government op https://t.co/ISMowJp1cy

Drew Brees would never EVER have this kind of mentality. This is not how a QB leads. Yikes. https://t.co/Fg0GTglsKT

Carr gives the same responses every week. Exhausting. https://t.co/gxTmfIitlC
