I think his name was Burfict.
Yea, and all 6th round QBs become Tom Brady too.
And beyond the obvious point that there will always be exceptions, I'd like to point out that Burfict was a highly regarded player in college. First round pick for most of the off season. But he had a character based issue that made people not want to deal with him.
Carter has been in the league for 4 years, has not caught on anywhere and was not a highly regarded player coming out of college that fell for other reasons.
the two situations have, almost, nothing to do with each other.
