I don't think he deserves prison nor does he deserve to have his NFL future completely taken away. But he is for some serious adversity and will need to improve himself dramatically if he wants to have a successful life. This is a struggle many young men have as their bodies mature years and years ahead of their minds.

He'll certainly get a chance.
Well said

Do you think drunk driving is OK as long as you make it home safe?
Its not. But people do Not OK things all the time, and it doesn't necessarily make them bad or irredeemable. This poor decision is going to cost Jalen Carter many millions of dollars and significantly shorten the leash he gets from his first employer.

Never said it made him irredeemable…

I just don’t want my football team to draft him.

Maybe he straightens up.

Maybe he doesn’t.

It’s just an added risk I don’t want.

And that’s a totally fair perspective to take on it

This isn’t about the charges it’s about drafting him.
And I don’t anticipate he drops out of the top 10 still. Someone will draft him and draft him high

Results do yield different consequences

Had ruggs not killed someone, just got caught drag racing, he wouldn’t currently be sitting in prison

So yeah, because he didn’t kill anyone this time is why he won’t be in prison and why it’s just a misdemeanor

That’s how our judicial system works, you get punished for what DID occur, not what COULD of occurred
Cool so if someone drives drunk it’s okay as long as they don’t crash.

No, but again, the charges are different when you get caught vs getting caught because you wrecked and killed someone

Do you disagree?
Since you’re following me around disliking posts about this, I imagine you saw my response to this already to @BaBaBlacksheep

but you do you, but my advice would be to grow up however

This Carter drunk driving street racing is literally much adieu about nothing burger because literally everyone does stupid things in their youth but you know who isn't youthful and shouldn't be stupid? Ryan Poles and hopefully he doesn't do stupid like he did last year and not draft a youthfully stupid Pickens and miss out on a generaracially talent in Jalen Carter!

Yeah it's a real nothing burger when you are racing the other car that crashed and the people in that car died.

Oh yeah I don't want him either. I never really did.
I want the NFL to take a look into this and to take an official position in terms of drafting Carter. I didn't really lock into Carter as their number one pick and this just adds to that feeling. It will maybe change the what ifs of who to trade with.

What is the NFL going to do about something that happened with someone who isn't even an NFL employee?
