It's no secret that Derek Carr is one of the most polarizing entities in the entire NFL, and while a lot of that has to do with his mixed results, some find the criticism to be unwarranted. In fact, in an interview, Raiders running back Josh Jacobs clapped back at Carr haters last week and showed nothing but praise for the veteran quarterback. If nothing else, this is at least a strong sign of unity within the offense and might even be the boost in confidence that Carr needs right now.

“I feel like he’s one of the most hated quarterbacks for no reason,” Jacobs said during a press conference. “I have no idea. If you ever meet the guy, he is one of the nicest guys that you will ever meet. He is a good dude, a good father. Like the white-collar guy that you look up to. It has definitely been huge for me to see his ups and downs going throughout his career and seeing how things have been going since his injury.”
