even though many people on here defended Bobby throughout his tenure at valley ranch I say he's a "bust" with the signing of thomas and the possibility of the cowboys picking up more LB's in the draft I say it's over for him, what a disappointment ......

Sure looks like a bad selection, but I can't label him a bust until he's no longer with the Dallas Cowboys. As long as he's still with us, he's developing.

Tom Landry said give a guy 3 years. Wade admitted that that bad game he had in preseason made him not play him more and that that might have been a mistake. SO not yet.

Considering that the team has acquired players at both Inside (Z. Thomas) and Outside Linebacker (Anthony Spencer) since drafting Carpenter without him seeing the field, I think it's pretty apparent what the team thinks.

He's not a bust, Parcells made a stupid, selfish decision to draft him. On a lot of other teams, he'd have 3 years of on-field experience under his belt right now.

Sure, you can say he's bust. You can say anything you want to...it won't change the future or the past!

Spears isn't on that list? ?????? When i think of bust i think of a 1st round draft pick. IF your drafted in the 1st round it means your the cream of the crop big school and should be the best of the best coming from college.

Lets see Carp
OSU big time school was number 1 in the nation big ten champs national titale camp AJ hawk drafted in the 1st round also looks like a bust to me


hmmm Spears
LSU big time school i 4got how good they were but they are the elite in college football there was more LSU players drafted in the 1st round that year i beleive bust yes sir.

Watkins
FSU sucks big time school been really crappy the past couple of years drafted in the 4th he is on target and should finally see his worth this year

McQuistan
don't know what school he from but i think its BC and they haven't been good since William green was there RB and there were good this year 6th or 7th round draft pick

Hatcher
from a ll small school learning curve is longer than some1 from LSU theres more of an adjustment not 1st round pick bust no

Fasano
ND most overrated program in the nation played under that dude form the Pats which garnished them even m ore hype 2nd round pick bust ??? he plays behind witten

Anyone drafted in the first round that isn't a major contributor after 2 years is a bust.

Spears shouldn't be on the bust list... it just so happens he is a little bit better than average. Not much just a little.

Carpenter, sadly, is a bust. He hasn't seen signifigant playing time in a game since BPs last season here, and that was just in the last game of the season. Maybe he turns it around this season.

McQbabyeater came from Weber State where he played alongside his twin brother... yes there are two of them in the league...his brother was drafted by the Raiders. Why is he considered a bust? Just curious as to why you think a 7th rd pick is a bust.

Watkins was drafted 5th round....

Hatcher came from Grambling......and I don't think he is the project some saw him as... he has been a solid player for the Cowboys.

Same goes for Fasano....solid play, but nothing steller.

He played well his first year and did not get a chance this year which Wade said may have been a mistake on his part. If he still cannot see the field at all next year then you have a point but I will root for a guy that went through what he did last year, kept his head up and worked his arse off in the capacity afforded him.

If Parcells couldn't get anything out of him than I certainly don't see him doing well under any other coach.

Umm did you watch the end of his rookie year. He played well from the Atlanta game on.

You're going to anyway, so why bother asking?

Wow, so you hate all our draft picks and every college program?? Thats what I get from that post. That and if you come from a small school youl should not do good. AJ Hawk is far from a bust as is Carp. I do believe that a bust would be a first rounder but nowadays there are alot more than 32 players with first round grades.

And McQ went to Weber St. but thanks for that little bit on BC. I wish McQ could have been a product of BC they churn out OL talent it seems every year.
