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

Derek Carr is expected to be back at quarterback for the Saints this weekend and he said Wednesday the Saints can expect his “full commitment” to try to turn around a season that started to go off the rails before failing three games with an oblique. injury.

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

“I I’m not a savior. There’s only been one and it’s not me,” Carr said, via Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. “I’m here to be a great leader, a great teammate and do my job the best I can. And do I feel confident in what I can do? Absolutely. I have confidence in what I can do. I have confidence in what I can bring to our team. And that’s exciting, right? But to save us or something, it’s not me, I’m going to go in and do what my guys expect of me. Bring energy, bring effort, be a great teammate. Encourage our guys, get everyone on the same page, lock down the details, 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 facing the Panthers. If that doesn’t happen, it’s going to be a long second half in New Orleans.
