Recently, former Green Bay quarterback and Hall of Famer Brett Favre was asked how he thought ex-Packers All-Pro receiver Davante Adams would fare'now that he has left four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers for Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders. Favre expects a dip in production for Adams, so let's examine what numbers the sportsbooks and SportsLine's Fantasy Projections are projecting.
Here is what Favre, never afraid to speak his mind, told TMZ: “No disrespect to Davante at all. Zero disrespect. I do think that Davante will make Derek Carr better, and, in time, they will be a dynamic duo. Now will it be the duo that Aaron and Davante had? I think time will tell. Derek Carr's a very good quarterback, but he's not in Aaron's league – yet. He may never be. That's no disrespect either. …
“But I do think Davante owes a great deal of gratitude to Aaron, and the Packers [for] drafting him. That's not to say he's not a great player, because he's a tremendous player. We'll see that with Las Vegas, but it's just hard to shift gears, especially from a player as prolific as Aaron Rodgers. I'd be shocked if he has the same year he's had in previous years.”
We should note that it's not like Adams doesn't know Carr: They starred together at Fresno State. With Carr as his QB, Adams set school records for receptions (233) and recei ving touchdowns (38) despite playing just two seasons for the Bulldogs.
