Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr did not have his best season in 2018, but, in his defense, the Raiders as a whole were pretty awful, as they won just four games.
But, the Raiders have been very busy this offseason, making significant additions such as wide receiver Antonio Brown, offensive lineman Trent Brown and safety Lamarcus Joyner.
That's all well and good, but what about Carr's personal goals heading into 2019?
He was asked that question during a live chat session on YouTube, and he had this to say:
“My personal goal? I don't ever put stats or anything like that, but there's certain things that when you hear other people talk, there's a lot of people talking,” said Carr. “They have no clue that I was working on A, B, and C, and I got better at those things while maintaining my other things that I was doing good the year before. As a personal goal, as you take these things you try to work on, and you get them there, and then you think of three new things, and then you take them and say, ‘man, I'm going to do them better.' And then you just do it. Year after year, taking my coaches' advice, taking their critiques, the harshness or the easiness of them sometimes.”
Carr made three straight Pro Bowl appearances between 2015 and 2017 and was even mentioned as an MVP candidate in 2016. This past season, he threw for 4,049 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while completing 68.9 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 93.9.
The 28-year-old was also sacked 52 times in 2018, so he did not exactly have much time to throw the football.
