Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
When he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Bill Parcells made the call to pick Ohio State linebacker Bobby Carpenter in the first round of the 2006 draft. Parcells loved Carpenter and viewed him as the typical "Parcells guy," just as Carpenter's father, former New York Giants fullback Rob Carpenter, had been a generation before.However, not many Cowboys fans love Carpenter. You can't exactly call Carpenter a bust, but he's only started one game in his two seasons in Dallas, and he's not expected to start this year, either. He's OK on special teams, but when the best you can say about a player after two years is "OK on special teams," that's disappointing for a first-round pick.
But Parcells still loves Carpenter. The Star-Telegram reports that Parcells attempted to get the Cowboys to trade Carpenter to the Dolphins before the draft. And in a sign that the Cowboys still see some potential in Carpenter, they said no.
I'm skeptical that Carpenter will ever be a good NFL linebacker, but if a football man as astute as Parcells likes him -- and if the Cowboys still want him -- he obviously has potential.
