Carter's a boom bust kind of guy. He can be very good, but will he mature? The fact that he didn't take his pro-day seriously raises some flags to me. It was essentially a gamble by Philly for essentially a high, 'free' pick, since they still had their original 1st rounder.
I don't blame Philly for taking him and if he was there at 26, we'd likely have grabbed him due to potential... but those red flags are there. I'm getting away from drafting 'problem players'. We saw it with Bossman Phat. The talent is there, but the off the field stuff can keep them off the field to the point where they never really develop into who they should be.
Didn't follow him, but it sure makes sense why he dropped. Guys like this seldom change.
