Did he leave the game Sunday? I didn't know he had.

what is with all the Barbie hate? If anything he has played well above expectations this year. Me, I didn't think he would do anything but he's become a solid contributor.
I swear, folks on this board would prefer some of our guys sucked so that they wouldn't have to ever admit they misjudged a player. You aren't fans of the team so much as fans of your own overblown ego.

I wonder who's the next scapegoat for Cowboys fans once Roy, Carpenter, Flozell and Hamlin leave lol.

Have you seen the threads and posts dedicated solely for Roy Williams?DanteEXT;3098684 said:

Cute, but unfortunately in this case there is actually plenty of evidence to support most people's disdain for Carpenter. He's most noticeable on passing third downs when he typically gets sucked up into the line against the screen, or attempts to make an arm tackle or to try to run a RB out of bounds. Most of his pursuit angles are horrendous and he prefers to arm tackle.

Whichever overpaid, underachieving player is on the roster. I wonder when people will stop taking up some of these guys simply because they are on the roster. My guess is never. And it isn't even about pay. I could give two ****s about what these guys make. Its about the expectations that got them that pay.
In all honesty, I don't have much of a disliking for Flozell and Hamlin. I do have some because of obvious reasons. However, Bobby and Roy deserve no defense from anyone.
Just think, if Bobby and Roy would actually playing up to the level expected of them when they were acquired, the haters would be talking much less loudly.
Its up to them to stop the fans from making them "scapegoats". Not that I see many who are making them scapegoats.

That always confuses me. Not many threads dedicated to Ratliff, Ware, Gurode, Davis and many others but these two guys have a ton dedicated to them.
Wonder what it is that they have in common that makes them such hot topics........
I think someone should investigate this matter. I nominate Bob.

Misjudged? Who here has misjudged Bobby Carpenter?
Top 20 pick, I don't think anyone has misjudged his overpowering ineptness.
Great, Bobby exceeded expectations for this season. How awesome. What a consolation prize for a guy who has fallen so short of every other expectation since he has arrived that expectations are now at rock bottom.
I don't think there is anything he could have done that would have lowered expectations from where they were at heading into the year. Seriously, expecting anything less would almost be expecting him to retire.
