Say what you will about New Orleans' Saints fans, they're not ones to keep their opinion to themselves. And perhaps nowhere was that better displayed than at Mardi Gras where a giant float trolled quarterback Derek Carr.

Carr was injured on and off, the season was uninspiring and fans, well, they were disappointed.

Video of the float's debut show people laughing and applauding.

The float was mockingly named the 'RED ZONE ZOMBIE,' and it featured featured a zombified quarterback with a missing arm. "This visual gag alluded to the Saints' struggles in the red zone during the past season," BNN reported.

So, what did he think about it? Carr took it in good spirits.

On Friday, Carr replied to a picture of the float posted to X by The Times-Picayune's Matthew Paras.

"can't lie... this depicts exactly what I felt like the first half of the season so I understand," Carr wrote with a couple of laughing emojis.

"The satirical depictions of Olivia Dunne and Derek Carr in the Knights of Chaos parade offer a glimpse into the complexities of modern-day fame and the ways in which public figures navigate their roles in the public eye," Salman Khan wrote on BNN. "As athletes, influencers, and entertainers continue to shape the cultural landscape, the stories of their struggles, triumphs, and the reactions they elicit serve as a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit."
