“Bring me back!” Derek Carr wants to return to the Saints to restore the team’s glory after a painful losing streak
In a surprising twist that has sent shockwaves through the NFL world, veteran quarterback Derek Carr has openly expressed his desire to return to the New Orleans Saints. After a brutal stretch of losses that has left the franchise reeling, Carr believes he can be the spark to restore the Saints’ pride and competitiveness.
“I want to come back,” Carr reportedly said in a private conversation that quickly leaked to the media. “This city embraced me, and I feel like I still have unfinished business in New Orleans. I want to bring the Saints back to winning ways.”
Carr’s comments come at a crucial moment for the Saints, who have struggled to find consistency on offense. Injuries, miscommunication, and questionable execution have left fans frustrated and the locker room searching for answers. For Carr, the solution is simple: leadership, stability, and experience — qualities he believes he can deliver if given another chance.
During his stint in New Orleans, Carr displayed flashes of brilliance, but he was often let down by an underperforming supporting cast. Now, with the Saints desperate for a turnaround, his return could symbolize more than just a reunion. It could mark a new chapter of redemption for both the quarterback and the franchise.
Analysts, however, are split. Some argue that Carr’s best days are behind him and that the Saints should look to develop a younger quarterback. Others see Carr’s leadership and poise under pressure as exactly what the team needs in the middle of its darkest stretch in years.
The Saints’ fanbase has also weighed in heavily on social media. Many are rallying behind Carr, with hashtags like #BringBackCarr trending on X (formerly Twitter). Longtime fans recall his toughness and his ability to keep games competitive, even when the odds were stacked against him.
Whether the Saints’ front office shares Carr’s enthusiasm remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Carr’s voice is loud and clear. He wants to wear black and gold again, and he wants to fight for the city of New Orleans.
If the reunion happens, it could be the emotional lift the Saints desperately need. For Derek Carr, it’s not just about a comeback — it’s about redemption, pride, and proving that his story with the Saints is far from finished.
Steelers learning harsh truth about Aaron Rodgers that Jets already knew
New York Jets fans have seen this story before, and they're probably shaking their heads with a mix of vindication and sympathy after watching Aaron Rodgers' latest receiver callout.
Following the Pittsburgh Steelers' 31-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2, Rodgers couldn't resist publicly detailing exactly what his wide receiver, Calvin Austin III, did wrong on his game-sealing goal-line interception.
Rodgers praised the young receiver, calling him "the best kid ever" while simultaneously explaining how he messed up the route. It was a textbook example of the demanding, criticism-heavy leadership style that defined Rodgers' tumultuous tenure in New York.
Rodgers was seen pointing and screaming at his young wideout after the play, publicly berating him on the field. What Steelers fans witnessed was just the opening act of a pattern that Jets fans know leads nowhere good.
"Cal [Austin III] is the best kid ever, but he probably should have just stayed in the flat there. He knows it. Or he was kind of stealing it from Pat or just catch it, put it away, score a touchdown."
Aaron Rodgers
Jets fans have seen this Aaron Rodgers story before
Jets fans know this Rodgers tale all too well because they watched their former quarterback perfect this art of public receiver criticism throughout the 2024 season.
The most infamous example came after a Monday Night Football loss to the Buffalo Bills, when Rodgers threw a late-game interception and immediately blamed Mike Williams in his post-game press conference.
Rodgers explained in technical detail how Williams was supposed to run his route along the "red line" — a practice field stripe roughly five yards from the sideline that helps receivers maintain proper positioning — but instead ran an "in-breaker" that disrupted the play.
That public callout violated what most consider basic quarterback etiquette, as these types of mistakes are typically handled privately rather than aired out in front of cameras.
But this is Rodgers we're talking about. The future Hall of Famer has made a career out of disregarding basic etiquette.
Within 24 hours, the Jets traded for Davante Adams, effectively making Williams expendable. Williams missed practice for "personal reasons" immediately after the criticism and played just three more games in New York before being shipped to Pittsburgh, where he immediately caught a game-winning touchdown in his debut.
After his trade, Williams took a subtle shot at his former quarterback with an Instagram post featuring the hashtag "#RedLine" alongside a snake emoji, perfectly capturing how the ex-Jets receiver felt about Rodgers' public blame game.
The Calvin Austin situation obviously isn't a death sentence for the young receiver. After all, Rodgers did heap praise on him personally, and the criticism was relatively gentle compared to the Williams incident.
But Steelers fans should recognize this as the opening chapter of a familiar playbook. Jets fans watched this exact pattern unfold repeatedly during Rodgers' time in Florham Park, starting with seemingly harmless public corrections that gradually escalated into team-altering dysfunction.
There's a certain poetic justice for Jets fans in seeing their former quarterback's patterns play out in Pittsburgh. They tried to warn everyone, but sometimes you have to learn these lessons the hard way.
