If there’s anyone who has Derek Carr’s back, it’s his teammate and former Greenbay Packer, James Jones, who gave Carr quite the compliment.
When the announcement came that Derek Carr would start over Matt Schaub on Sunday, Jones wasn’t the least bit surprised. Jones spent 6 years in Greenbay and knows untapped talent when he sees it.
“He’s really calm, really cool in the pocket, He acts like he’s been there before. I’ve been calling him mini A-Rod since he got here.”
Now, of course, as we all know Carr has a long way to go before he can live up to Aaron Rodgers, but the point Jones is making is that this kid has what it takes to win.
Carr has clearly won over the lockerrom, now it’s time to see how he performs on the field.
