Carter leaving was not purely based on playing time. He had a unique family situation. I think its been hinted on this thread a few times. I know you wanted him to help this team win but the players have different agendas regarding how they want their careers/lives to go.
Yes. That year
There could be something to that. We don't know what things would have looked like if he stayed healthy.
Im not saying he wasnt going to be good here. He would have been a great one two punch with Tucker and he would be great now.
I had seeing something about them departing because it was clear they were going to lose a bunch of touches to Jordan.
I don't think this is completely true. He was doing well in the beginning of the spring then got injured. Others got the reps after that and I think Carter lost his place on the depth chart. Not sure when he was completely healthy again. I think it wasn't until during the beginning of the season but by that time others were entrenched in their roles. But this likely wouldn't have happened the same at SU if the same scenario occurred as we know better what he can bring to the table in comparison to the rest of our roster. Part of the risk they take by transferring.
Certainly should be considered when factoring into such a decision.
Exactly. If you have a good situation going that is trending like yo may make it to the NFL why risk making a move that may make things worse. Seems just more likely something negative is going to happen than positive.
