Derek Carr: I’m confident in what I can do, but I’m not a savior

Derek Carr is expected to return as Saints quarterback this weekend and said Wednesday that the Saints can expect his “full commitment” to try to turn around a season that began to go off the rails before he missed three games for a oblique. injury.

What Carr doesn’t promise is that his attempt will succeed. The Saints have lost six straight games after starting the season 2-0 and Carr was asked if he feels added pressure to stop the bleeding.

“YO I’m not a savior. There has only been one of those and that’s not me,” Carr said, via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. “I’m here to be a great leader and a great teammate and do my job to the best of my ability. And am I confident in what I can do? Absolutely. I feel confident in what I can do. I am confident in what I can contribute to our team. And that’s exciting, right? But to save us or something, that’s not me, I’m going to go in and do what my guys expect me to do. Bring energy, bring effort, be a great teammate. Encourage our guys, get everyone on the same page, nail down the details and hold each other accountable.”

The Saints will be in Carolina on Sunday and it’s hard to imagine a better opportunity to end a losing streak than playing the Panthers. If that doesn’t happen, it will be a long second half in New Orleans.
