Derek Carr just made NFL history in the worst possible way. He's the first quarterback in NFL history to lose to 31 different teams, having fallen short against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Between his time with the New Orleans Saints and the Las Vegas Raiders, Carr has now taken a loss to every team active in the league except for his old Raiders squad. They'll have an opportunity to beat him themselves later this season.

It's not where you want to be. But the Raiders moved on from Carr for good reasons. The Saints are finding out what some of those reasons were for themselves. He never found playoffs success with the silver and black, and that trend has continued now that he's playing for the black and gold. He just might be a regular season quarterback like Ryan Tannehill was before the Miami Dolphins and Tennessee Titans jettisoned him, too.

Maybe Carr can be a winner if everything around him is going perfectly, like it did in the first two weeks this season. But at this point the sample size is large enough to make it clear he won't be consistently elevating his teammates week in and week out. So what comes next? That's for general manager Mickey Loomis to decide.
