Really a bit surprised how many of these award voters haven’t shown him much love. Hopefully that changes by year end.

i honestly think it's as simple as we're making it.

1.) they saw that Ron'Dell is the CAA DPOY
2.) many don't want to put two JMU guys on the 1st team (although that has now happened on at least one list)
3.) they're not sure which should be on 1st team and which should be on 2nd team, so Carter gets the nod because he was CAA DPOY

i'm not a football expert, but i know a few things. i don't see an enormous difference between Carter and Daka AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL. i realize why Carter has more of an "NFL body" and probably has better position flexibility, i'm not talking about that. i'm talking about college dominance, production, and ability. that's how these lists are made, it has nothing to do with predicting NFL success.

Daka is a 1st teamer without a doubt. that's not me being a homer. the numbers bear it out. the tape bears it out. he's a 1st teamer, period.
