My point was that he came on very strong towards the end of the year as he got more playing time ... he made a lot of clutch catches for NE down the stretch and got both receiving TD's for the pats in the playoffs ... on the same play nonetheless.
More to the point Carter isn't exactly a long term solution at wr ... it looks like ward could be a good wr if he got playing time and miami would benefit later in the year from his development and in the next few years too.
While Carter can come in and be effective i'd venture to say that his selfishness and the fact that gadsen basically got disrespected for this guy wont sit well in the locker room.
Remember a lot of teams were interested in him this offseason ... so no one doubts the guy can play but his head must not be screwed on straight if he bungled all of them up.
An interesting tidbit is that a lot of peoplearound the league felt that the most remarkable thing about NE's run last year was the team overcoming all the turnover in playing time during the season ... bledsoe/brady, Johnson/Bruschi, Cox, and the glenn saga which were different from tebucky jones, A. Smith, and the O-line, R seymour beating out competition for their spots.
So with carter replacing gadsen and a potential QB situation things could get dicey in the locker room down in miami
