“I’d Be Shocked If…”: Legendary Green Bay Packers QB Offers Sharp Verdict On Davante Adams’ Output After Split From Aaron Rodgers

Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams might have some vendettas on his mind in the upcoming season following his recent split from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The former Packers WR is coming off an impressive 2021 season. He recorded 123 receptions, 1,553 receiving yards, and 11 TDs. However, a former Packers legend and QB Brett Favre believes that Adams is in for a rude awakening in 2022.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer believes that without Rodgers as his QB, Adams might struggle next season. While talking to TMZ Sports recently, Favre states, “It’s just hard to shift gears, especially from a player as prolific as Aaron Rodgers…I’d be shocked if he had the same year.” The basis of Favre’s argument lies with his questions over Adams’ new teammate and starting QB Derek Carr.

While the reigning league MVP has a great track record in the NFL, Favre casts doubt over Carr’s ability to match Rodgers’ output in Wisconsin. He concedes that Carr is a very good QB and believes he might not aid Adams and his outputs on the field in games. The familiarity of playing in Wisconsin for 7 years is a huge factor for the former Packers wideout and believes that new surroundings will require his time to adjust.

Will Davante Adams be able to escape Aaron Rodgers’ shadow in Las Vegas?

The uncertainty surrounding Rodgers and his future was a subject of concern for the Packers organization. They were actively trying to solve the situation this offseason. However, the rumblings seem to help Adams and his decision to team up with his old Fresno State teammate. The trade saw the Packers acquire two NFL Draft picks this year in the 1st and 2nd rounds.

He signed a lucrative 5-year, $141.25 million contract with the Raiders. It also made Adams’ wish to reunite with Carr finally come true.

While the duo of Rodgers and Adams never won a Super Bowl title together, the WR enjoyed some of his best years in Green Bay.

The risk behind his decision will be immense considering the stature of the Packers’ QB in the modern-day NFL. While Carr is unquestionably a rising star QB, Adams hopes to enjoy a collectively and individually successful season. The 2022 NFL campaign promises to enthrall the fans as the players get ready for another rollercoaster season.
