Riders quarterback Derek Carey said before the start of the season that he was “fed up” and just “wanted to go out and play football and not care about other things.”
With two weeks under his belt, he looks like the right approach to the season. With a 34-24 win over the Saints on Monday night, Carrey performed well against the Panthers in a 28-week win with 28-of-38 for 282 yards and three touchdowns.
The car then repeats its ambiguity in post-game talk, but head coach John Gruden was willing to give a few words. Gruden noted that Carrey had to play with a variety of receivers behind the changing offensive line over the last several years and has also earned a large number of places in 2019 while praising his play so far this season.
“This guy is a great quarterback,” Gruden said. “We surround him with better players. And once our defense starts playing for their potential I think, it could be better. He does a lot with the ball and without the ball and behind the scenes which I think fans of the riders should really be proud of, and I know I am. “
The Raiders will try to start 3-0 in New England next week and achieving that goal will be a draw about the car that won’t even mind the quarterback.
