Denver Broncos: 5 AFC Foes We Love to Hate

5. Derek Carr, QB, Raiders

Ok, so I like Derek Carr the person.  I am a fan of when prominent people, whether they’re celebrities, athletes, or otherwise are so vocal about their faith.

Some who dislike organized religion may disagree, but I think Carr uses his platform for good.

However, Derek Carr the quarterback is mind-numbingly annoying.  He gets rid of the ball very quickly and makes it very hard for defenses to get home.  Carr also commands a very potent Raiders offense, which is another reason to not like the guy.

The Raiders have mostly been the laughing stock of the NFL for years, especially recently, as they have had a tendency to collapse late in the season, effectively ruining their playoff chances.

The Raiders as an entire franchise also strike fiery annoyance in my body.  Their owner, Mark Davis, has perhaps the worst haircut in mankind, and it’s baffling since he surely has the financials to hire a good barber.

Either way, Derek Carr is someone we love to hate, and I think I can speak for most of us there.
