Fans on social media react to Derek Carr’s first win with the Saints

Fans and media on social media reacted to Derek Carr’s first win with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday after they took down the Tennessee Titans, but not all of the responses were positive. Some observers drew parallels to Carr’s run with the Raiders. Others were just happy to see the black and gold start the year with a win. Here is what they’re saying after the Saints’ 16-15 victory:

Derek Carr struggled at times today, especially in the red zone. But he made the biggest throw of the game when it mattered most.

Whew! A little too close for comfort but a W is a W. Defense was fantastic. Run game needs some work but it was enough. Carr made the plays he had to make. Great way to start the season. #whodat⚜️

Takeaways:

– Loved the way Carr and Offense bounced back. Pete called a superb 2nd half.
– You can only help O-linemen so much, Penning needs to sort his shit out asap
– Olave, Shaheed, & MT are the best trio we’ve had in years.
– Defense is very very good
– Bresee DROTY

We pretty much got a taste of what to expect the rest of the year with Carr:

– Highlight reel throws
– Unable to deal with pressure
– Can’t really extend or create on his own
– Makes the throws he should make
– Costly INT

Trevor Penning needs to get it together. Carr isn't going to make it through the season with the way he's playing. #Saints

I thought Carr had a good game. He faced a lot of pressure. Too much, but he did a good job. The interception was the blemish and it was ugly, but more good than bad.

What an astonishingly resilient game by the New Orleans #Saints.

Once this defense catches its rhythm, this team is going to be 60 minutes of excitement every week.
