Davante Adams is probably regretting his decision to leave Aaron Rodgers and play for Derek Carr.
In the offseason, Adams requested a trade to Las Vegas to play alongside his college teammate Carr.
Davante Adams didn’t want out of Green Bay because of the money. He wanted to play with his college QB Derek Carr.
The Packers now must fill the void left by arguably the NFL’s best receiver.

On Sunday, Adams expressed his frustration with being 0-3.
Davante Adams: "I am frustrated and angry. I expect more. It's not easy to win in this league, we know that … but we expect more and we'll do it better as we move forward. … We can't be flat early." #Raiders

Unfortunately for Adams, Carr keeps missing him when he’s open.
On Tuesday, ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky pointed out several instances in which Carr missed an open Adams to the point where Orlovsky wondered if the Raiders QB wasn’t throwing to Adams on purpose.
“It looks like Derek Carr is purposely trying not to throw the ball to Davante Adams.”
In the first example, Carr misread the defense and missed an open Adams in the middle of the field.

Orvlosky pointed out another example where Carr missed an open Adams in the middle of the field with no defenders around him.

Orvlosky then showed Carr not throwing it to Adams one-on-one vs a defender in the red zone.

Orvlosky said that he could have posted at least six clips of Carr misreading the defense and not getting the ball to Adams.
“That’s only three clips because it’s television, there’s like six of them”
