Again, maybe that is how GM's see it. But I think they are dumb if they do. I'm under no illusion that testosterone filled boys injected w/testosterone syringes to play a testosterone inducing game aren't prone to stupid activities testosterone makes you do. I know it. GM's know it. The public knows it.
But most know when is the "right" time to do that stupid stuff.
Carter doesn't. The racing isn't the flag. The weight gain isn't the flag. Racing & gaining weight & being out of shape before you're drafted is the flag. The dude is throwing away $. He's not throwing away his career. He is losing the salary a top 3 pick would get for the $ a top 10-15 pick would get.
GM's are asking themselves "Are the potential problems Carter could bring worth the #__ pick & the salary that slot demands? Or is there another player that would bring me similar value but fewer sleepless nights?"
