Saints Fans Show Frustration with Derek Carr Through Music After Injury Report
Tensions between New Orleans Saints fans and quarterback Derek Carr have hit a new level after a recent report revealed that Carr’s shoulder injury could potentially sideline him for the entire 2025 season. The news has led to increased skepticism from the fan fanbase, with some interpreting the situation as Carr trying to avoid mentoring or competing with a rookie quarterback that the Saints might select in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Even former Saints linebacker Scott Shanle criticized Carr publicly, labeling him as “thin-skinned.” But Shanle’s take is just one of many voices expressing discontent. The fan reactions have gone beyond social media posts—one particularly creative supporter even took the time to put together an Apple Music playlist titled “Derek Carr Gone,” a not-so-subtle wish for the quarterback’s departure from the team.
The playlist opens with the 1969 hit “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” by Steam, setting the tone right away. It follows up with JoJo’s “Leave (Get Out)” from 2004, further hammering home the sentiment. From there, the selections become more pointed and explicit, including “Get TF Out of My Face” by Rich Homie Quan and “Can I Trade Him In” by Beccy Cole—all songs that clearly convey fans’ growing impatience and frustration.
Carr’s performance since signing a four-year, $140 million contract has left much to be desired in the eyes of many Saints fans. And while it’s understandable that supporters are disappointed, placing all the blame on Carr might not paint the full picture. The Saints front office chose to restructure his deal and keep him on the roster rather than letting him explore free agency—despite reportedly considering drafting a new quarterback all along.
Fans argue that instead of addressing their salary cap issues, the Saints once again opted to kick the financial burden down the road, leading to their current situation. While Carr’s recent injury has intensified fan backlash, the tension is as much a reflection of poor team management as it is of Carr’s inconsistent play.
Still, for many fans, emotions are running high. As absurd as it may seem, the petty playlist may just be the beginning. With Carr’s future uncertain and draft season looming, Saints supporters likely won’t hold back on expressing exactly how they feel about their embattled quarterback.
