Wanted: Jalen Carter

They had a lawyer / former judge talk about it on WSB-TV at 6 and he said that almost anyone in Athens that wasn't a star member of the football team would have been charged with vehicular homicide already.

No doubt.

But the fact is, he WAS a star member of the football team. It matters.

No athletic director at a football factory is going to can a coach who just won back-to-back national championships because players died in car wreck doing stupid stuff. Maybe if they were having drinks with the coach prior to the accident; but not when the coach is miles away at home in bed.

Good lord, this is such a liberal stance. The role of self-accountability is a thing of the past. How many times do people go to parties or a bar and get over served. Blowing a .18 is twice the legal limit, but certainly isn’t the point where you throw rationality out the window or are a babbling idiot. Maybe I should blame the homeowner for forcing me to take so many shots or the bartender for giving me such strong drinks. Maybe they should lose their jobs?
When you are 21 years old, much less 24 years old, you either know right from wrong or you don’t. I’d blame the parents before a coach…but that is the society we live in today. I feel so hypocritical giving these young adults a free pass on the blame when they can buy alcohol, join the military, be entrusted to raise a family. I guarantee you Kirby had zero to do with that female staffer and Carter is months away from having a professional football team pay him tens of millions. Sounds like feigned outrage because it is UGA. I swear, this site should be called Dawgtalk with how much they live rent-free in our head.

GEORGIA BULLDOGS
By D. Orlando Ledbetter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Updated 8 hours ago

INDIANAPOLIS — With the news that Jalen Carter left the scene of a fatal crash that resulted in arrest warrants issued Wednesday, the former Georgia standout did not participate in a previously scheduled media session at the NFL scouting combine.

Early Wednesday, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Carter left the scene of a fatal crash that killed teammate Devin Willock and recruiting analyst Chandler LeCroy on Jan. 15. Hours later, a throng of reporters were in front of a podium awaiting Carter for a previously scheduled pre-combine availability. A spokesman from the NFL informed reporters that Carter was in medical testing and would not be available to answer questions.

Carter, a defensive lineman, is considered widely the best non-quarterback available in the 2023 NFL draft. He likely will be a top-five pick and could go No. 1 overall.

“The charges announced today are deeply concerning, especially as we are still struggling to cope with the devastating loss of two beloved members of our community,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said in a statement released by the school. “We will continue to cooperate fully with the authorities while supporting these families and assessing what we can learn from this horrible tragedy.”
While Carter did not speak to the media, he’ll have to address the crash and his pending arrest during interviews with NFL teams ahead of the NFL draft in April. Meanwhile, former UGA linebacker Nolan Smith said that the Cincinnati Bengals asked him about the crash that killed Willock and LeCroy just hours after Georgia celebrated its championship with a parade.

“After the natty, I didn’t go home,” Smith said. “That’s my dog. That’s one person that never did anything wrong. I got sensitive in (my interview with) Cincinnati. I get sensitive talking about it, just because I love him.”
Smith clearly was shaken while discussing the crash.

“No one should die like that,” Smith said. “He never did (expletive) wrong. I’m sorry for my language, but he never did anything wrong. Three years in a row that man showed up and worked day in and day out. He’s a natty champ. It’s written in stone. That’s all I’m going to say.”
Smith noticed that a reporter was laughing.
“She doesn’t understand,” Smith said. “Devin, I love you baby and in seven-seven (Willock’s uniform number) you’re living forever. Do it for Dev. That’s what I tell them boys at Georgia. You lost a brother. Do it for Dev.”
Smith tried to gather himself, but was clearly still in pain.
“This is my first time talking about it. Cincinnati, they brought it up and I got emotional, too,” Smith said. “Just because I care.”
Carter played in 35 games for the Bulldogs and had 83 tackles, 18.5 for loss, and six sacks.
NFL teams will want to know more about his driving and his role in the crash. According to a press release from the Athens-Clarke County Police Department on the arrest warrants, Carter and LeCroy, who was driving a university-rented SUV, were “operating their vehicles in a manner consistent with racing.” The release stated that LeCroy’s vehicle was traveling at 104 mph shortly before the crash.
Carter was a unanimous All-American pick in 2022. He struggled with an ankle injury for the first half of the season and sustained a knee injury in October that led to him missing two games.
Last year, Georgia had a record number of players (15) drafted by NFL teams. Defensive end Travon Walker was the No. 1 overall pick. Even with all of that UGA talent last year, NFL scouts already were discussing Carter as Georgia’s best NFL prospect.
It is possible with the news of Carter’s role in the fatal crash and arrest warrant that he could slip in the draft. A drop in the draft could prove costly for Carter. Walker signed a four-year, $37.4 million contact as the top pick last year. Falcons wide receiver Drake London’s contract as the eighth overall pick was $16 million lower at $21.4 million.
Washington general manager Martin Mayhew was aware of Carter’s situation.
“It’s going to be pretty heavily investigated by the media (and) we’ll track that, obviously,” Mayhew said from the combine. “We have a company that we work with on background investigations. We’ll work with that company. We are very do a very thorough analysis of these guy’s background especially with any criminal activity or criminal behavior. I don’t know what happened with him, not saying that he did anything that was wrong. We’ll know. We’ll find out.”

So what happened? Dwags acting like dwags? Don't care. Wonder why any of you care. Suspect some of you are latent dwagosexuals. I do not want to know what you incels do at night thinking about crap like this.

Tech football board, and Jalen is not transferring in.

Might have helped a player break the law and covered it up? Shouldn’t the NCAA take away their Natty like the did Techs ACC championship

Don't care. Dwags can go piss up a rope. NCAA can, too. You defile this board by bringing up either one.

And do not expect fairness in this world. Dwags have broken the law longer than you have been alive, and covered it up. NCAA is driven by self-interest and not by their self-righteous pronouncements. College football is minor league football. The players just get paid in a roundabout way with no salary cap.

Forgot the name of the fixer, a uga employee who is the first person police call when a uga athlete is in trouble. He was on the scene that night and tried to mitigate the situation, but failed this time. I'm sure all schools have such a person, including Tech. Kirby is probably going nuts with this getting national press.
