Favre says Davante Adams will suffer without Aaron Rodgers

Davante Adams is likely one of the most enigmatic names heading into the 2022-23 NFL season.

The five-time Pro Bowl extensive receiver was undoubtedly Aaron Rodgers’ most excellent play-maker all through nearly all of Rodgers’ profession, and has a big stake in Rodgers’ most up-to-date MVP exhibiting.

Adams was bested by just one different receiver (Cooper Kupp) in a number of receiving classes final season, together with receptions (123), yards (1,553) and receiving first downs (84). He was additionally fifth within the NFL in TDs (11), and yards after the catch (613).

Adams is mostly close to the highest of the receiving chief board on a seasonal foundation, and although many individuals would argue that Rodgers is basically accountable for his success, some would counter that Adams performs simply as massive a task in Rodgers’ latest accomplishments. 

Brett Favre is part of the previous group. And in accordance with the Hall of Fame quarterback, Adams will have a tough time placing out the identical manufacturing in Las Vegas as he did in Green Bay.

“I do suppose that Davante owes a substantial amount of gratitude to Aaron and the Packers drafting him,” Favre stated this week, through Yahoo Sports.

“No disrespect to Davante in any respect — zero disrespect,” he stated. “I do suppose that Davante will make Derek Carr higher and, in time, they will be a dynamic duo. Now will or not it’s the duo that Aaron and Davante had? Time will inform. I feel Derek Carr is an excellent quarterback, however he isn’t in Aaron’s league but. He might by no means be, and that is no disrespect both.

“It’s simply laborious to shift gears, particularly from a participant as prolific as Aaron Rodgers. I’d be shocked if he had the identical 12 months he is had this 12 months. That’s to not say he cannot do it, however I’d be shocked.”

On Monday, Colin Cowherd disagreed with Favre’s projection.

“Derek Carr leads the NFL in fourth-quarter comebacks within the final seven years,” Cowherd stated on “The Herd.” He’s a prime 10 quarterback. He carried a dysfunctional sideshow final 12 months to the playoffs within the AFC, the higher convention. He can win, he is elevated no-name gamers, rookies. That’s what Davante Adams will get, and Josh McDaniels.”

Brett Favre ‘can be shocked’ if Davante Adams repeats 2021 season

Brett Favre doesn’t imagine Davante Adams will have the identical manufacturing as his 2021 marketing campaign, saying that ‘he can be shocked’ if he does with Carr. Colin Cowherd reacts to Favre’s feedback and explains why Adams will have a stable first season with the Raiders.

Cowherd went on to emphasize that it might be Rodgers who’d bear a downtrend, not Adams.

“Aaron Rodgers’ No. 1 receiver is now Allen Lazard. I’m undecided he may make the Rams or the Bucs. Or is it the ghost of Sammy Watkins? Or a second-round extensive receiver [Christian Watson] from an FCS faculty? Aaron Rodgers doesn’t have a No. 1 or No. 2 receiver. I have a look at all of these guys as a 3 or a 4.

“I feel the winner by unanimous choice on this commerce is Davante Adams, who’s going to enter an offensive-minded program. I feel Green Bay goes to take an enormous step again.”
