Jalen Carter in trouble

[jarntt]

I still think the Eagles took a huge risk in drafting Carter, but they have drafted a lot of his teammates now and surely did their homework on his character. He sounds like a dumb, immature kid. Maybe with some time he will grow out of it. The talent is not in question.

Dumb - check
immature - check
insane talent - check

will be interesting to see which way this one goes. I’m in the camp that says it will turn out to be a great pick…

I laughed for a second, then I realized. GiGi has a wife? A woman desperate enough to marry HIM? and horror of horrors, there could be little GiGi's running around...?





















...my God, I fear for the human gene pool...

She converted him from a Cowboys fan to a die hard Aaron Rodgers fan. He's probably a Jets fan.

There’s always a level of risk that’s involved when seeking a big reward. They’ve spent the entire Jeffrey Lurie Era crafting a culture. They’re built better than most to take on that risk. The fact that he has so many former teammates around him (as you point out) is just another layer that reduces that overall risk. I think Carter may have benefitted going to that NFL locker room than the Eagles did having him there at 9 to trade up for.

Or increases it

I don't think it was a risk at all. I know I was racing cars at that age.

I was hell on wheels.
I raced professionally. What was I going to do? Slow down?

In fairness I never raced like that, of course I never had a car like he had.

When I quit racing, I bought a street bike. It would do 0 - 60 in 3.8 seconds. Then I lost my license!

It was pretty easy to race in So Cal, especially in Victorville area.

I lived in Hanford 2015 to 2018. I heard racing every night......

It seemed to slow down after cops started using drones!

That's the big thing, isn't it. These kids are instant millionaires and the cars they drive aren't like the Dodges and Chevys we were driving as kids on a limited budget.

A kid who work for my dad had one of these with a V8 in it, aside from Cragar Wheels it looked just like that pic. He'd race anyone and more ofter than not leave them embarrassed.
