And yet Parcells, that great evaluator of LB talent, along with Ireland & Jerry Jones choose to use our 18th pick to draft Carpenter and believe he will be major contributor (even starter?) this year. We all always knew Parcells was a lousy coach and lousy talent evalutor.
It was probably Belicheck and those other coaches who really drafted those great Giants like Lawrence Taylor, etc & NE's McGinnest, Brushci (sp?), etc and now we Cowboys are stuck with Ware & James & Spears & Canty cause they must also be bad too. Maybe we should trade these last 4 players before rest of NFL finds out they are no good; just like Carpenter isn't going to be any good. Hmm.
On other hand, maybe just maybe Parcells knows more about LBs then the talent evaluator who said Carpenter essentially wasn't that good and wouldn't ever be that good.
