Carr did not appreciate some comments thrown his way.

Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman are known for being very opinionated on their ESPN show First Take. Sometimes, their opinions are heard loud and clear by the very people they are criticizing. On Wednesday's show, the two did a segment where they talked about Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and how maybe head coach Jon Gruden should move on from him.

"You can see where quarterbacks don't want it, and Carr didn't want it. And I think Gruden knows they have to move on," Kellerman said. "The question is, can they get anything for him? Is he a placeholder until they find the next guy? How long will it take to develop the next guy? And Kyler Murray, if you can grab him in the draft, hell yeah."

Carr did not appreciate these comments in the least bit and took to Twitter, responding to a fan and then challenging both Kellerman and Stephen A. to a fight.

Smith than replied to Carr's rant, saying "Hey @derekcarrqb.....I heard you had a few things to say. Consider this a personal invitation. You are more than welcome to come on @FirstTake or sit down with me for a 1-on-1. I’m here, Bro! Nobody hiding."

What do you think of the feud between Carr and the First Take hosts?
