Derek Carr hopes Jon Gruden is ‘really hard on me’

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr

Be careful what you wish for, Derek Carr. The Oakland Raiders quarterback told reporters Monday that he hopes new head coach Jon Gruden takes him to task, which is an admirable sentiment.

We have no doubt Gruden’s eyes light up at a quote like this.

“Challenge accepted.”

In all likelihood, regardless of his personal experience with coaches, Carr still has no idea what he’s in for. One of Gruden’s old quarterbacks, Rich Gannon, recently poked at Carr’s work ethic a bit by saying essentially that, whatever you think hard is, you haven’t seen anything yet.

We already know that Gruden is going to demand much more of Carr this upcoming season than he’s ever experienced at any level. It’s going to be fascinating to watch the process unfold. Will Carr flourish under this intense heat, or will he wilt?
