Panthers reportedly interested in Duran Carter (Chris Carter's Son)

[cgarsmoker]

It's all good, mentioning Stephen Hill was probably a bad idea, but I'm hoping he has a good off season and lives up to some of that potential.

You and me both.... I'd love to see us get some receiving speed and talent though unconventional means so we can use draft picks on other positions of need. If the kid has size, speed, and seems to have matured....it can't hurt too much to have him in the offseason program.

[MHS831]

Personally, I would like another high-end WR, but Gettlemen has been great at building from the bottom up.

[WOW!!]

I agree. .

I would love to get a number 1 type Wr have Benji as number 2 and Philly at 3 or 4. .

I want to add a FA WR and draft another young Wr..

[JARROD]

If he can punt return legit,......

 

SOLD

[CatalystNX]

He's damn sure got the genes. Wouldn't be bad at all to bring him to camp and see what he's got.

[FuFuLamePoo]

Everything on twitter says his top choice is Minnesota.

why

[PandaPancake]

Fug that, all he would do is score Touchdowns.

Big Money would kill him. Dude hardly gets any rest as it is

[ooglechi]

why

his father was a hall of famer for Minnesota

[Ivan The Awesome]

Rather get a free agent like Randall Cobb. Then draft another speedster in this draft. I really like the kid from ECU, can't remember his name, he's really underrated.

[RelaxImaPro]

Here's what his QB had to say about him before the draft

 

"The team that drafts Duron Carter will get the most lazy, whiny & non-work ethic player the nfl has ever seen," Cayden Cochran, Coffeyville's starting quarterback at the time, posted on his Twitter account, according to Garafolo. "I played w/him. Horrible person & will be a complete cancer to any team on the board."

 

Not sure I want a young WR like that in the locker room around other impressionable young players like KB and Philly.  Dude has talent, but you have to consider he's grown up extremely privileged and lived a life of luxury his entire life being Cris Carter's son... it's really hard for people to change that this late in their lives.

"this late in their lives"?

lol the kid is only 23 years old. dude got bounced from college to college and the after thinking he had made it anyway, got bounced from the NFL team that finally picked him up despite his issues....which just happened to be the team that gave his druggie alcoholic father after getting cut by the team that drafted him two years into his career for being stupid off the field and likely a cancer in the lockerroom because of his inability to get his off field life in order.

it wasn't too late for his dad to make some major changes and it's nowhere near too late for him to make changes.

or do you think that being a spoiled/entitled little rich kid is too big a thing to overcome...bigger than his dad's alcohol and drug problems?

btw, i'm not saying that we should go out and get him, that he's gonna be a stud like his dad, or that he hasn't/won't change. i'm just saying it's crazy to say that at 23 he's too old to change...ezp. considering who his dad is and the changes he made at a later stage in his own life.

B

Justin Hardy. Beast. Arguably the top prospect in the entire AAC.

Speaking of ECU - Dwayne Harris for the Cowboys may be someone to target in FA. Great returner and should come at a bargain.

What's up Mr. Strawman?  Way to go way out of your way to attack a fragment of a quote there.

 

What I said was:  "it's really hard for people to change that this late in their lives."

 

Meaning, it's REALLY HARD, not impossible.

 

or do you think that being a spoiled/entitled little rich kid is too big a thing to overcome...bigger than his dad's alcohol and drug problems?

 

My reasoning behind what I said was just based on basic human psychology due to what his former QB said about him, the environment he likely grew up in, and the evidence that he's never stuck anywhere. 

 

His own father said that he lacks some tools that it takes to be successful in the NFL (i.e. work ethic), despite possessing all the talent in the world.  You know why he was academically ineligible?  Because he was too lazy to do the "student" part of the "student/athlete".

 

Yes, I think that completely changing who you are at your core is more difficult to overcome than a drug habit.  People can change, and you can go from being a shitty person to a good person, but Duron is largely who he is at this point.  If you lack work ethic - and haven't really shown it at all, that's not something you just suddenly change... sure you can tough it out for a while, but what about when the chips are down and things get hard?  If he reverts back is that the type of influence you want around Philly and KB?  That's something that is hard-wired into you at a very early stage in your life.

 

btw, i'm not saying that we should go out and get him, that he's gonna be a stud like his dad, or that he hasn't/won't change.

 

Okay, so you just wanted to argue.

[rayzor]

wasn't looking for an argument. i took issue with your statement making it sound like he couldn't or was unlikely to change because of his age. it seemed esp. odd considering his dad's story.

the pit he dug himself could very likely be the thing that causes him to make the necessary changes he needs to make to be productive and help a team.

and you think he could influence philly and KB? it's a whole lot more likely that they would influence him.

i mean you could be right, that he is who he is always going to be at this point, but i have. hard time writing people off as being set in their ways at that stage of theor lives or younger. there are times when i catch myself doing that very thing and in some cases it is true because the person has pigeonholed themselves into believing "this is just who i am and there's no changing", but as one who made big changes in who they were in their 20's and beyond and as someone who has worked with many who were just written off because people believed they wouldn't/couldn't change who they are, it bothers me. it bothers me when i see people do it to others or themselves and it bothers me when i catch myself doing it as well. sometimes it gets me more than others.
