There aren't many big brothers out there who like to admit that their younger brother is better at something, especially when that something is a sport both are famous for playing. 

For instance, you'll probably never hear Peyton Manning admit that Eli's the best quarterback in the Manning family. That's not an issue in the Carr family though because older brother David has no problem admitting that Derek is the better NFL quarterback. 

During a recent radio interview with 95.7 The Game in San Francisco, David explained why he expects Derek to have a successful NFL career, something David didn't really have. 

"[Derek] understands the game more than I did, so his confidence level is just off the charts," David said, via the Raiders official website. "[His] leadership ability is kind of where I was never at early on in my career. He's able to go out and get guys that are seven, eight years older than him to actually buy in to what he's doing, and believe that he can play, and believe that he can go out and lead the team."

David wasn't exactly able to do that early in his career. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft, David spent four unsuccessful seasons in Houston before the Texans gave up on him.

The lack of success wasn't necessarily David's fault though, as a rookie, David was sacked 76 times, which led to 21 fumbles.

If getting sacked 76 times sounds like a lot, it is: No other quarterback was sacked more than 55 times in 2002 and the 76 sacks still stands as an NFL record for most times a quarterback has been sacked in one season. 

Derek was only sacked 24 times during his rookie season in 2014, something that was probably helped by the fact that he knows when to get rid of the ball. 

"He just has a natural ability to throw the ball, just effortlessly, and it's not really difficult for him," David said. "It literally is effortless for him to throw the football."

Derek has been showing off that effortless throw all offseason and the Raiders will be hoping those effortless throws translate into touchdowns, like they did for this random guy on the beach in April.
