GAC: Pete Carroll says if Cowboys Draft OT Smith, He Can Start Right Away

Did Galloway ask him if he was drafted by the cowboys, would he be taking a pay cut?

And he was right

Well so far he's 2/2 for AFC Championship appearances. Game manager or not that's a pretty impressive start to his career.

There's also been huge growing pains, and several times when he was rumored to being close to going to the bench.

He would have benefitted from staying the extra year.

Every QB has growing pains when they come into the league, I've also seen him lead some miraculous 4th Qtr. drives to win the game. Bottom line is the kid's been very successful so far, he's proved Carroll's comments to be wrong.

I'll take his playoff record over Romo's.

And Carrol said it after his "success", obviously it is a valid opinion, for that matter Mark Sanchez is never going to be Drew Brees.

Meanwhile Tyron looks like our guy.
 
This, the same Pete "I Marry Young Ones" Carroll who maybe two years ago said Sanchez should have stayed at USC one more year because he was not ready to play as an NFL QB?

I hope Pete's judging of who is ready or not has improved.
 
Sanchez obviously made the right decision. He was picked in the top 5 of the Draft, he's making top 5 QB $$ and he has been to 2 straight AFC championship games. To say he should have stayed another year is ridiculous. Look what happened to Leinart who went that route.

Leinart stayed because he had a bum elbow. Not because he wanted to take ballroom dance class and chase co-eds for one more year.

Pete Carroll said that about Sanchez because it was in the best interest of Pete Carroll and U$C not Sanchez. I could care less what that clown has to say. Won't be long before he is back looking for a college job again...
