Justifying Why Davante Adams Compared Back-To-Back MVP Aaron Rodgers to Las Vegas QB Derek Carr With Just One Statistic

Star wide receiver Davante Adams has joined the Las Vegas Raiders this season and will play beside QB Derek Carr. Previously, Adams has played all of his games with the Green Bay Packers under the leadership of QB Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was in shock as he heard the trade news of his favorite WR Davante Adams. The two players had great chemistry on and off the field and were also the face of the Packers for a long time.

Recently in an interview, Adams had to compare Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and Raiders QB Derek Carr. Davante Adams smartly claimed both the players to be equal.

Adams said, “That’s a tough question. I mean, it’s tough to compare. It’s really apples and oranges there. You have Aaron, who’s cemented as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. That’s just like comparing me to Jerry Rice. But as far as talent and ability, I mean, it’s really similar if I’m keeping it real.”

Well, with one statistic, there is a way to prove what Davante Adams meant by saying the two quarterbacks are similar. Aaron Rodgers and Derek Carr are the only two quarterbacks in the NFL to throw for 4000 yards with ten or fewer interceptions in each of the three seasons from 2018 to 2020.

Stats of Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers in the last four seasons

Derek Carr passed for 4049 yards with ten interceptions in 2018, compared to Aaron Rodgers’ 4442 yards and two interceptions. The following year, Carr passed for 4054 yards with eight interceptions, while Rodgers completed passes for 4002 yards and four interceptions. In 2020, Carr had 4103 throwing yards with nine interceptions, while Rodgers tossed for 4299 yards with five interceptions.

Last season, both the players threw above 4000 yards. Rodgers had four interceptions, while Carr had 14 interceptions. Now, as the Raiders QB has found a new star receiver Davante Adams, the interceptions that went up in the last season are expected to go down.

 Las Vegas Raiders made a blockbuster deal and acquired All-Pro receiver, Davante Adams, from the Green Bay Packers. Adams signed a five-year deal with the Raiders that will pay him $141.25 million, which makes him one of the highest-paid WR in the NFL.
