Fact Rat
HOFer
RIP Jim Carter - Disrespected when he played, ignored in death by us, so far.
Many fans never forgave him for replacing Ray Nitschke, who refused to retire even when he couldn't run any longer, and was not an effective player. Not unlike Donald Driver's last season. Nitschke was a fan icon the team couldn't cut, just as Driver was.
Carter was often booed just for being the guy starting over Nitschke, and it lasted most of his career. He did not deserve it, because he really was a solid player. Not appreciated by the fans at all.
I always respected him for seeing it as the fans' love for Nitschke, not hatred for him. He seemed to accept that.
