Derek Carr obviously played a pivotal role in the Oakland Raiders’ return to relevancy this past season before a broken fibula halted a postseason run before it started. But that doesn’t mean his teammates aren’t open to trolling their superstar quarterback with a fantastic social media smackdown.
Raiders offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele took to Twitter Tuesday night to point out that Carr bears a striking resemblance to Sid Phillips, the sinister and sadistic young villain from the “Toy Story” movies.

Raiders running back Latavius Murray couldn’t help but notice the remarkable similarity between Carr and Sid Phillips.
@KOseven0 why you do @derekcarrqb like that!? #ToyStoryHead

Carr not surprisingly wasn’t about to allow the trolling go unanswered. The Raiders signal-caller responded in kind by making comparisons of his own regarding his teammates’ respective appearances.
First, Carr compared Osemele to Vine legend Lil Cuzzin Terio.

Carr was far nicer to Murray, comparing him to Wesley Snipes character Blade.

All in all, the latter is a pretty complimentary comparison. The former? Not so much.
