I think its interesting that none of the supposed sports journalists have bothered to point out that Carter is just the latest example of incompetence of the Cowboys General Manager in selecting player personnel.
This is generally the conclusion that occurs when success and experience (Parcells) meets egomania and incompetence (Jerry Jonesan).
You're confusing the Jimmy Johnson era Jones with the present day Jones. I think he's a different person now. He's no longer just some carpetbagging a-hole from Arkansas. QC is a pre-Parcells guy.
