NFL Star Defends Derek Carr, Blasts Trolling CJ Gardner-Johnson

The Saints offense became stale on Sunday.

but New Orleans has an opportunity to reverse things around.

On Sunday, New Orleans dropped its opening game and perhaps even some of its momentum.

Through their first two games of the season, the Saints looked unstoppable.

winning both of them by a score of 45 points each game. But against the Eagles in Week 3.

the offensive faltered and the team lost 15–12 at home.

Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, a cornerback for the Eagles and a former Saint,

added insult to injury by celebrating the Eagles’ victory following the game.

“The Saints are not even close competitors. In the locker room, Gardner-Johnson could

be heard shouting, “They’re pretenders.” “They have Derek Carr remember that.

“Gardner-Johnson deflected a pass and finished with eight tackles.

Carr’s performance was undoubtedly the worst of the season. At the end of the game,

He threw an interception to secure the Eagles’ victory, good for 142 yards and one touchdown.

Micah Parsons, an All-Pro pass rusher for the Dallas Cowboys, defended Carr

in reaction to Gardner-Johnson’s remarks.

In an episode of his weekly podcast The Edge with Micah Parsons, Parsons said,

“I don’t know who C.J. Gardner (Johnson) thinks he is.” “I believe Derek Carr has validated

himself much earlier than C.J. ever did. Quarterback Derek Carr has experience playing in the NFL.

Quarterback Derek Carr has always been really good.”

Given that he and the Cowboys witnessed the Saints’ offense destroy them in Week 2,

Parsons would undoubtedly have firsthand information. In the Saints’ 44-19 victory,

Carr completed 11/16 for 243 yards, two touchdown passes, and one touchdown rushing.

Even if Sunday’s loss hurts, New Orleans wants to replicate the magic from the first two games

going forward. “You’re furious because you lost. Carr yelled at reporters, “You’re upset about it.

“You’re trying to win every game. However, we played a tremendously strong football team in the end.”

Going forward, the Saints will still be competitive football teams. The next game

is a road matchup with the team’s bitter rival, the Atlanta Falcons,

who defeated the Eagles in Week 2 to record their only victory. Following that,

The team will play Monday night football against the two-time defending Super Bowl champion

Kansas City Chiefs before hosting the NFC South champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home.

The NFL’s weekly format means that each week’s games are played independently of each other.

which adds to its allure. Under Klint Kubiak, Derek Carr, and the rest of the offense,

New Orleans has a great potential for growth. Fans should be encouraged about the team’s future

as a result of this. Time will tell if Sunday was an exception or a sign of things to come.
