Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams told reporters that it’s “apples and oranges” when asked to compare his current quarterback, Derek Carr, and his ex-signal-caller, the Green Bay Packers’ Aaron Rodgers.

“That’s a tough question,” Adams said. (h/t Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk). “I mean, it’s tough to compare. It’s really apples and oranges there. I mean, it’s just such a different ball game. Obviously, you have Aaron, who is cemented as one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. That’s just like comparing me to Jerry Rice. It’d be tough to do because Jerry’s put together what he’s done and it’s undeniable respect for him. And me, I’m still going. There’s still a lot that I’ve got to do to be mentioned with Jerry and I’m aware of that. And I think Derek is also aware of that, from a big-picture.”

Adams played with Carr at Fresno State before the Green Bay Packers picked up the ex-Bulldog in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft. He played with Rodgers for eight seasons before being traded to the Raiders during this offseason.
