Pretty interesting article on Deadspin about Rae Carruth


Recommended Posts

It's pretty long, but Deadspin dug up a 2001 GQ article about the story of the Rae Carruth murder case, and they threw in some observations of the article now that it's 2013.

 

Reading the article, Carruth really seems more clinically insane than even I had thought when the case was actually happening.

if you didn't realize he was clinically insane before reading that article than i don't know what to tell you. it's a sensitive subject about the worst crime an NFL player has ever committed. And he was a Panther. Of course people on this board are going to react disdainfully.

Didn't say I didn't think he was clinically insane, I said after reading the article and learning more things about him than I'd known (such as direct quotes from conversations from his girlfriend that I knew about, but didn't know she was interviewed by the media), he was worse than even I'd thought. The gist of what I was saying was that he was crazy, but after reading about it more in depth, it really hit home.

 

I don't care if people react disdainfully, it's expected in the offseason on this board..I've been here long enough to know that. Article is still interesting, however.

Well technically if he was clinically insane he would have been sentenced accordingly.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
