The Oakland Raiders are a mess and a big reason has been Derek Carr's struggle but after Thursday night's 34-3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the former first-round pick said he's in Oakland for the long haul and he has no plans on leaving.

“Who really wants to turn this thing around? Who really wants to do the hard things that no one wants to do? It's easy to say, ‘I'd rather do it somewhere else.' That's easy,” Carr said via NFL.com. “I think we figure that out, and going forward we find out who's a Raider, honestly. I love this place, and I'm not going anywhere. So I'm in for the long haul, and I want to see the men step up and say, ‘I want to do that too.'”

The Raiders don't have a ton of talent on the roster right after Jon Gruden traded away Amari Cooper and Khalil Mack and the team just looked lost against the 49ers.

Not only did the team look like they had no idea what they were doing, they really looked like they could care less about being there. Carr doesn't think the team has given up and he thinks he has the guys on offense who want to keep fighting with him and can win a few more games this season.

“I think just that dog inside of you. When things suck, just to still fight,” Carr said. “I know that I've got some guys I want to put in the foxhole with me, and there's a lot of 'em. So going forward, when I look at each man in the eye — I tell them before each game, ‘you're going to get everything I have.' I tell them that every time — so I want to make sure when I look in everybody's eyes going forward that's the same thing.”

The Raiders road doesn't get any easier having to take on the Los Angeles Chargers next Sunday.
