In what round was McShay drafted?
@David1, if Coach Smart has time for media interviews, he certainly can take a few of those moments to address McShay's allegations if there is no truth to them.
“He’s unbelievable, and if he can get his maturity issues in line could be the best player that ever played at UGA.”
He’s very good, but there was a certain Tailback that played in the 80, 81, and 82 seasons that will always be the best player that ever played at UGA.
GO DAWGS!
Personally I don't agree with Larry Munson. Those sources are giving McShay too much credit and insulting people far above McShay's station.
Would have been far less character and maturity had he responded with reciprocal antics (or worse, a shove), as that very likely would have sparked a melee. So let's just agree on... Go Dawgs!
If Jalen had character issues don't you think he would've slammed Jaden Daniels into the turf? Suh would have!
Mcshay will say, and print anything to gain fans, and viewers. Even when it's just his own opinion, and no facts to back it up. Another typical espn "expert" 🙄
When will these jackasses be held accountable for spewing lies about these players? If you have an anonymous source then you should investigate before getting on tv to continue to spew said lies. At least that's what real journalist would do.
I'm guessing that Smart et al will give this mcshay feller the credibility he deserves. As in "one". Mos' likely, he's already let Carter know how valued he is and that responding will do nothing more than cater to the rumor-mongering and distract from the task at hand.
Most likely too busy preparing for tOSU to actually care or give a rat's patootie as to what McShay thinks.....!!
Truly believe that our coaching staff will deal with this internally with our players so as not to become an issue in the locker room.....by that I mean it will surely go up on the Bulletin Board!!!!
Good luck tOSU! You're gonna need it!!
I like our chances!
Go Dawgs!!!!
Actually, McShay doesn't cite any source -- anonymous or on the record. Everything he says during the whole bit is in the passive voice (e.g. "there are some character issues" rather than "scouts are worried about character issues"). Sourcing is one of the first things readers or viewers should look for when evaluating the credibility of a story.
Making an explosive claim that could seriously damage this young man's livelihood without any attribution is truly irresponsible. It's one thing for a former player or coach who's now an ESPN pundit to mouth off his opinion; it's quite another for one of their supposed journalists to do that.
Other than the dustup with Mizzou, I don't recall anything controversial or reflecting poorly on Carter's "character." You'd think there would be more than one incident if, as McShay implies, NFL scouts are concerned about him.
It's still possible that McShay's simply reporting what scouts and others are telling him. it's difficult to say that Carter doesn't have a character issue just because it's always difficult to prove a negative.
But it's also possible that McShay heard this rumor from one guy who has some sort of axe to grind, or that he just remembered the Mizzou incident and figured that gave him license for a hot take that would get a lot of attention.
Another so-called ESPN expert generating click bait.
Like I tell them in The business world, tell me who said it or it has no validity to me. ESPN needs to do better speculating on a young man in negative base on an Anonymous source. Very poor journalism and very lazy of Mcshay. Not sure of the facts on the motive but McShay or his anonymous source definitely has one.
KBP, I’d be more concerned if Kirby did address it than if he didn’t. If someone asks him about it, he might give an answer, but I doubt he’s wasting his time on something so trivial. Do you have reason to believe this story is more important than the whole team getting ready for the peach bowl? Go Dawgs!!
Agreed…. Go dawgs.
A mature individual keeps himself out of those situations to start with.
