Thursday Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre was asked about recent comparisons Derek Carr had to him.
This offseason Michael Crabtree made a strong statement about his quarterback. He compared Derek Carr to soon-to-be-inducted Hall of Famer Brett Favre.
“He is always going to be a gunslinger and I love that,” Crabtree said of Carr. “That's the old Brett Favre-type of quarterback, but really managing Brett Favre. Brett Favre is one of the greatest players to ever play."
Derek Carr was asked about Crabtree’s comparison and, as you might expect, he was flattered by it, especially because Carr wears number four because it was Favre’s number.
