Are hits, injuries weighing on Derek Carr's mind?

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Remember when Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr was seen as a gunslinger in the mold of ultimate maverick Brett Favre?

Carr, whose No. 4 jersey was inspired by Favre, never saw an eye of a needle he didn't want to thread. Never believed there was a throw he could not make. Never shied away from, well, gunning the ball into double or triple coverage.

 

That was before the fractured pinkie on his passing hand. Before the fractured right fibula. Before the three broken bones in his back. Injuries all suffered within a 10-plus-month period from Nov. 27, 2016, to Oct. 1, 2017.

 

Human nature being what it is, and given what can be perceived as conservative play, would you blame Carr if the injuries are weighing on his mind a tad?

Let me guess....you're a Raiders fan who moved to Rochester and you think stealing Lamonica wasn't enough.

The Lamonica era Raiders were a damn good football organization, despite Al Davis.  This era's s*** show doesn't deserve mention as a viable and professional organization.

As for Carr?  No, he cries.

THERE'S NO CRYING IN FOOTBALL!!
