Raiders star Davante Adams was pressured to make clear the feedback he made about his quarterback, Derek Carr, by which he referred to as the Las Vegas sign caller a “Corridor of Famer.”
On Sunday, reporters requested Adams, 29, to develop on his feedback, to which the Professional Bowl wideout cheekily mentioned, “I used to be ready for this. Oh, God, I used to be ready for this.”
Adams went on to say: “What I meant to say was, even for those who go Corridor of Famer to Corridor of Famer, it’s an adjustment. Even whether it is Corridor of Famer to Corridor of Famer, there’s going to be an adjustment. I wasn’t saying Corridor of Famer Aaron to Corridor of Famer Derek. So I’m not retracting my assertion in any respect.”
Adams raised eyebrows on Friday when discussing the transition from Aaron Rodgers, whom he caught passes from for eight seasons with the Packers, to Carr, his faculty quarterback at Fresno State and his present QB after the blockbuster commerce that despatched him to Las Vegas in March.
“Any time you alter quarterbacks from Corridor of Famer to Corridor of Famer … it’s going to be a bit little bit of an adjustment,” Adams mentioned, prompting skepticism as many thought he was penciling Carr in as a Corridor of Famer.
It seems Adams merely misspoke, or at the very least is claiming to have accomplished so after the very fact.
“I didn’t ship that message the best way I had it in my head,” Adams mentioned. “I didn't imply to say precisely that.”
Rodgers, a four-time NFL MVP and Tremendous Bowl champion, would primarily be locked into the Corridor of Fame even when he doesn’t play one other snap within the league. Carr, whereas having strung collectively plenty of robust seasons with the Raiders, actually seems to be on the surface trying in at this level in his profession.
Carr continues to be solely 31, nonetheless, and has loads of time to construct his case. Buying Adams as his No. 1 wideout ought to assist, a bona fide star whom he already has chemistry with from their time in faculty. The 2 are good pals off the sphere, and had made it recognized they wish to play collectively earlier than the commerce was accomplished.
After buying Adams and star move rusher Chandler Jones, in addition to hiring Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to be head coach, the Raiders are anticipated to compete in a loaded AFC West. The Packers, in the meantime, have quite a lot of query marks amongst their pass-catching group after watching Adams depart city, however are nonetheless anticipated to cruise in a weaker NFC North.
