freeze, I feel your pain, although you deserving of some losing seasons in Dallas. You had your incredible run, welcome to NFL mediocrity. As a loyal Patriots fan I to have sat through 2-14 seasons. Tuna will change cowboy s fast, this looks identical to his first season rebuilding in New England in 93'.
Not necessarily fair saying Carter has 3 seasons experienced, how much playing time did he get season #1? The time last year was totally wasted, would have served better if he didn't play last season, because he had to unlearn everything from last years system and learn current system. I don't care what anyone says tuna and his systems work, even with average quarterbacks ie.(Simms, Hoss, Bledsoe, Vinnie, Hell parcels even made Ray Lucas look decent. There is no way you can say Carter doesn't look appreciabley better than last season. The kid possesses incredible raw athletic ability, probably as close to Michael VICK, as you will see at the quarterback position in the NFL. Strictly athletic ability I'm saying. If Carter wasn't mentally capable of learning & running the offense he wouldn't be there, plain and simple.
New England had a athletic quarterback here couple years ago, Michael Bishop. Guy set unbelievable rushing & passing records at an Kansas State. Couldn't learn offense, was cut, never seen again.
Carter has a Way above average NFL arm, his speed agility & escapeabilty is among tops in League, he simply needs more time to learn offense. Several balls were dropped last night, a primarily by Bryant, his numbers were appreciabley better than Bradys until the late desperation interceptions.
Given Bellchick 2 whole weeks to scheme against a rookie quarterback of course he will struggle somewhat & look confused at times.
Most people even NFL fans realize this Patriots defense is EXTREMELY GOOD. They lost Colvin, Johnson, Washington, and Law during week 2. Everyone is coming back now. The Patriots haven't allowed a touchdown at home since October 5 against Tennessee, whose ass they dominated. Giants and Cleveland both scored 0 touchdowns before Cowboys laid a egg before them, the Defense is solid.
Hang tight, Bill will turn and things around for you down there, just takes little time.
