Stingray Grompson's definitions
A Derek Carr.
A pejorative, yet often grudgingly affectionate, nickname for former Las Vegas/Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (DC4).
The term is a blend of his surname, Carr, and "garbage," reflecting the frustration of fans who viewed his play as consistently mediocre, especially during crucial moments. It is also a direct nod to his tendency to compile impressive statistics primarily during "garbage time" (when the game's outcome was already decided), hence his other moniker, "Carrbage Time."
The ironic affection comes from the fact that despite the often demeaning nature of the name, it was typically used by the same longtime fans who stood by him through his nine-year tenure, creating a love-to-hate dynamic.
