Michael Carter RB

[juza76]

Wow really like this guy
As i said before should be RB2, low center gravity, quick in change of direction, also a tough one despite being undersize
First time i saw a juke move from a Cardinals RB

 

[Fitz4Ever]

Definitely should be back next year. I don't know enough about demercado to say if he will develop into more than a backup...I'm pretty much always up for taking a day 3 RB and hoping you strike gold.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

It's kind of strange that he hasn't played more

He made some beautiful cuts today and fought hard for yards

Him losing carries to Demercado had me scratching my head

I think he’s under contract for 2024, so he’s not going anywhere…and I think he’ll prove to be RB2.

He's a good change of pace back to Conner

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Let me also say, that if Conner stick around for a few more years, he and Carter can possibly flip flop the RB1 and RB2 slots and still be just as effective.

 

[Outerlimits]

Agreed. It is strange seeing a Cardinals team with a solid rushing attack. Which we have seen fairly often this year. The OLine deserves credit as well. The offense has the potential to be quite good as early as next year. Especially if we see Kyler like he was today more often.

I was pretty negative about the Drew Petzing hire initially, but honestly he has been pretty solid.(especially considering the talent level)

Carter was very impressive today. Real good pickup. I too was puzzled when Demercado was getting more time. We needed a back like Carter. If we do draft a RB I may wait till the fourth round at least. Just too many other needs.

I think with Demercardo they were/are just wanting to see exactly what they have and if they think he can be a substantial part of the future.

This kid was on my radar because he saved my fantasy football season when he was a rookie. Explosive, but still physical I thought. I think he got buried by them bringing in Cook, but I was puzzled he wasn't getting more of a chance with the Jets. I was happy when we got him. He's exactly the change of pace from Conner that we needed.

He's only 24, signed for another year. I am excited to see what he does next year.

He's the only back on the team that can de-cleat a defender like this.

That was sick.

Demercado is the 2023 version of Larod Stevens-Howling. Loved that little sparkplug. Hope he’s around next year.

 

[CardNots]

We are set at RB for the foreseeable future. I like what we have.

Carter apparently had lots of issues in pass pro when he was first in the league and it limited the Jets ability to play him when they drafted Wilson.

Saleh said they cut him to give him a chance for a bigger opportunity, I hope that's true, I think most people assumed there were "issues" that led to his release but Saleh said it was really simple, they couldn't play him as much as they did the other guys and they felt he was too good of a runner to "rot on the bench."

This is also the same Jets team who looked at the entire QB landscape when Rodgers went down and were like, nah we good. lol

Generally speaking RB's are good right away or not, Carter was but his PT fell off and it was assumed it was because they drafted Wilson and with a young QB, pass pro is really important at RB and Carter just wasn't good at it and they thought it was a real problem with Wilson back there.

Of course the area most young RB"s have to improve at is.... pass pro.

And in our offense it's different anyways we are a run first offense. Would be great if he is for real, I like DeMercado as I've said before he has a real feel for running and is very patient for a young RB, but he's just limited because he doesn't have top end speed, Carter does.

Seems like a steal of a pickup.

Cards could end up with a backfield similar to the Alstott & Dunn Buccaneers.
