Raiders' Carr after blowout loss to 49ers: 'I'm in for the long haul'

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr isn't giving up on his team.

After suffering a 34-3 defeat to the San Francisco 49ers and third-string quarterback Nick Mullens, who took his first NFL snaps Thursday, Carr called on himself and his teammates to keep fighting.

"Who really wants to turn this thing around? Who really wants to do the hard things that no one wants to do? It's easy to say, 'I'd rather do it somewhere else.' That's easy," Carr said, according to NFL.com's Austin Knoblauch.

"I think we figure that out, and going forward we find out who's a Raider, honestly. I love this place, and I'm not going anywhere. So I'm in for the long haul, and I want to see the men step up and say, 'I want to do that too.'"

The 27-year-old threw for 171 yards and was sacked seven times in Thursday's game. He was replaced in the fourth quarter by backup quarterback AJ McCarron.

The 1-7 Raiders rank 28th in the league in points scored per game this season and 31st in points allowed per game. The 252 points Oakland has surrendered is the second most in franchise history through eight games, according to NFL Research.

Carr, however, wants to see his team push forward and give everything it has.

"I think just that dog inside of you. When things suck, just to still fight," he said. "I know that I've got some guys I want to put in the foxhole with me, and there's a lot of 'em. So going forward, when I look at each man in the eye - I tell them before each game, 'you're going to get everything I have.' I tell them that every time - so I want to make sure when I look in everybody's eyes going forward that's the same thing."
