Poor Derek Carr. The dude had his MVP season derailed in the final week of the regular season (which also happened to be Christmas Eve) with a fibula injury, and now the dude is getting mocked on Twitter for supporting a child out there grindin’. Not to mention, he seems like an all-around good dude, with the rare ability to not let success get to his head after throwing for a mind-boggling 28 touchdowns for nearly 4,000 yards and only 6 picks. When it rains, it pours, man.

Check out the seemingly innocent tweet that set off Twitter.

Saw that a 7 year old is collecting recyclables so he can pay for college.. has made 10k. Get off your tail and go work hard 4 what you want

I support the sentiment. Too many kids walking around with iPads when I had to wait until season year of high school to send texts to girls with my flip phone. AND IT WASN’T EVEN CAPABLE OF SENDING DICK PICS!!

Anyway, Twitter took Derek behind the woodshed with mostly funny quips, but some tight-assed people who legitimately got upset.

pretty cool. but it would be a lot cooler if college was affordable and 7-year-olds could just focus on being kids…

Aluminum can is most valuable. $.82/lb. 34 cans/lb. $10k/.82=12195lbs. 12195*34=414,630 cans. I do not believe a 7 yo did that.

Just saw a 10 year old is gluing on a fake beard and walking in stilts to work as a longshoreman for lunch money. What's your excuse?
