Was he overpaid? Yes. Is he a bust? No.
We knew exactly what we were getting from him when we signed him, a speedy end-rusher. We knew that he wasn't going to bull-rush a 340 OT (e.g. Flozell Adams). We seemingly thought that our DTs would provide pressure on the inside and Carter would provide pressure from the outside. Carter has been beating OTs on the edges, but that doesn't mean squat when opposing QBs have simply been able to move the pocket up in the middle because our DTs aren't getting inside pressure.
I guarantee you that once our inside D-linemen start applying pressure, Carter will get a lot more QB pressures and sacks.
