Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has been complimented regularly throughout this offseason. It’s a byproduct of being the next big thing, a side effect he gives little, if any, attention.
Receiver Michael Crabtree, however, said something that raised an eyebrow. Carr’s teammate called him a “gunslinger” in the Brett Favre mold.
As an amateur Carr idolized Favre and his confidence, wearing No. 4 all these years as homage to the Green Bay Packers great.
Carr’s a Favre fan. That’s always been clear. Turns out the feeling is mutual.
Favre said so Wednesday night in an interview with CSN Bay Area Giants reporter Amy Gutierrez while at AT&T Park for a 5-1 victory over the Rockies.
