Brett Favre is a big believer in Austin Davis, who also went to Southern Miss.

"Austin can definitely play at this level," Favre said.

Davis had a completion percentage of 86 percent against the Seattle Seahawks.

"Not to sound off my rocker, but [Davis] -- in my mind -- can be the next Tom Brady or Kurt Warner. [Brian] Hoyer as well.

"Austin, like those mentioned, just needed a legit opportunity."
