Adams is one of the best recievers in Packers history. A history that goes back 100 years. To this day, not one defensive back has figured out an answer to his hop/break at the line of scrimmage and not a single reciever has managed to duplicate it. He is a generational talent no matter who is throwing the ball. Guaranteed 1st ballot HOFer.

[@thehalftimeshow]

Totally agree with you! He is one of our favorite players of all time!

Good video but one oversight his pro comp couldn’t have been Mike Williams because he got drafted in 2017 and Devante got drafted in 2014

We made a mistake. Our apologies. Thank you for watching!

[@benjamindumez]

I thought the packers said they offered him the same as the Raiders but he still chose the Raiders due to uncertainty at the QB position (also other reasons like family, Carr, etc)

Exactly he himself mentioned in the interview.

How was Devante Adams player comparison Mike Williams when devante got drafted in 2014 and Williams in 2017

[@sinoverlord409]

That's why when someone calls themselves an expert at recognizing talent, I just laugh at those clowns. But the Raiders are definitely setting up to be a monster team, and thank the Lord they got rid of Carr. For those Carrdashians saying Adam's would give up his lifestyle in Vegas for Carr, it was absolutely hilarious 😂

[@thehalftimeshow]

Interesting take haha, we look forward to a fresh start at QB for the Raiders and Carr in NOLA.

[@SSC_DROD]

i feel like with jimmy as is new qb he will have some advantages and disadvantages he ght only hov like 1,100 recieving yards and only 9 touchdowns

[@SSC_DROD]

I take it back i forgot jimmy took the 49ers to a super bowl so he will have more tds

[@not_my_real_name9500]

A lot of this info was good and well accurate, but you left out that the packers gave him a better contract than the raiders but he still chose to take the trade instead

How was his player comp Mike Williams when Mike was drafted 3 years after?

A mistake; scouts referred to the older Mike Williams.

[@bbfma6679]

His player comp coming into the draft was Mike Williams? Which one?

[@thehalftimeshow]

We made a mistake with that.

Pretty sure EPA

[@UnoDos-u9m]

Wait I’m confuse bro said his draft comparison was mike Williams but Williams was drafted in 2017 davante was drafted in 2014 🤔

[@thehalftimeshow]

The older Mike Williams, former first-round pick in the 2005 NFL draft by Detroit.

[@GUAP1DD]

bro i dont understand how he got compared to mike williams if davante was already 3 years in before mike

[@thehalftimeshow]

There was another Mike Williams who was a first round pick in 2005.

[@brianshomette6970]

I hate to say it but I feel like he is gonna demand a trade after this season if we don't become contenders. And if he's open and jimmy can't throw the ball further than 30 yards

[@Fm18-viksforlife]

Can you do a Justin Jefferson one pls

[@thehalftimeshow]

Stay tuned!

@@thehalftimeshow ok

[@DevinCHoyt]

Spoiler alert It was because he was given a chance, y’all give pros to much credit act like there above everyone else at the game, there not, they just got x amount of tries at success! Until finally one day they became super stars due to one simple chance

[@joannerivers7860]

The trade was a little different than that rodgers contract didnt impact davante the packers even offered more money to davante but he wanted to go to the raiders

[@SawyerSheldon]

maybe he is

[@prestonthomas2923]

Will he have similar production with JimmyG throwing him the ball? I doubt it.

Let's visit this after the season.

[@S1nCityNation]

so how was he able to do that with deebo and kittle?

His player comp was MIKE WILLIAMS? How? He was drafted in 2017 and Adams in 2014

[@SawyerSheldon]

They said adams was the best

[@thehalftimeshow]

@Sawyer Sheldon, Davante is the best, no question.

[@Grishrak]

And this is why I say the draft and combine are pointless. Who cares how fast a guy can run, he’s not in pads and doesn’t have a guy on defense. QB yeah it’s nice to see a guy throw that’s accurate but there’s no pressure of the pocket collapsing having to throw on the run. I’ve seen many top NCAA talents fail on the NFL like Vince Young and Reggie Bush could be the top two biggest let downs in terms of NCAA to NFL stats

[@Broncos9-8]

[@gabbyjim8943]

False there was enough cap space for Adams to sign for the same amount he signed for in Vegas. He chose not to sign! There’s been plenty of evidence that the packers had even offered more!

they don't

[@boondocks211]

How Adam's leave don't u gotta play three years

[@thehalftimeshow]

If you are meaning in college; Tae was a redshirt his freshman year. Then played his second and third year. You are right, you have to be out of high school for three years minimum before entering the NFL.

[@alphamaster5455]

I don't know what the packers love about people from california but its just a little strange.

[@thehalftimeshow]

It makes them feel cool. jk.. that is an interesting take.

[@douglepong]

I feel so bad for Davante Adams playing with Jimmy Garoppolo. I hope he gets traded. This is ruining his career. Also I want everyone to know I knew this was going to happen. You're all welcome.

[@marioruano3076]

Choke wacdanields will ruin his stats. Nuff said...

[@thehalftimeshow]

He got 1,400 yards in McDaniels offense. Yeah. Regardless, Davante can get stats in any offense. Stop hating on your favorite Coach.

[@michellemosley6949]

Let's get this right McDaniel set up Carr to fail as you can see no QB could accomplish he's play book. Now McDaniel is now fired and the other clown is also gone we have played one game and won.... so no it wasn't not Carr it was the Clowns that where coaching 🤔 🙄 😕

needs to come back to the packers

[@L.K.S.R.]

Carr didn’t regress…. Ziegler and mcdoofus Sabotaged Carr

[@thehalftimeshow]

Watch the tape. Ziegler and McDaniels did not sabotage Carr; they simply were not a good fit for each other. Carr will have a great statistical year in NOLA, because he played mediocrely last season. He has something to prove and knows he will be a backup if he does not bounce back. We believe he will bounce back, he chose a team that has the same offensive philosophy as Gruden.

Pretty bad.. Jimmy Garoppolo is not good..
