Raiders OC says Derek Carr "good comparison" with Aaron Rodgers, Carr downplays it "so far"

Last season, there were several instances in which Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr was compared to Aaron Rodgers. James Jones, who spent last season with the Raiders, called Carr "Baby A-Rod". Earlier this season, Brown's cornerback Tramon Williams made the same comparison.

"I don't throw this name around too often, but he kind of seems to have a skill set similar to Aaron, and that's saying something,'' said Williams. "Obviously we don't know if he's going to turn out to be that player, but skill set-wise, he can move, he can do the whole nine, he has a strong arm, a quick release and he can read defenses as a young quarterback.
