Quarterback Derek Carr has the Oakland Raiders sitting at 4-1 and in the playoff hunt for the first time in a long time. ESPN Insiders Matt Bowen and Mike Sando analyze Carr's game: Whom he really compares to, where he has improved the most, where he can still get better and, finally, whether it's OK to call him a star.
Bowen: Some parts of Carr's game remind me of a younger, less-polished version of Aaron Rodgers. It's the athleticism, the movement in the pocket, the ability to throw the ball from different arm angles.
