Keeping with the Cowboys-Patriots theme, everybody thought that Carter was the second coming of Troy Aikman when his team rose up to 7-2 this year with him as the starter.
Those same people also didn’t see that five of those teams he beat had losing records and were largely unproven, and that in his opening game, he lost to the lowly Atlanta Falcons.
Carter proved last year that he is a mediocre quarterback at best due to his knack of making mistakes at all the wrong times. This Sunday, in a game that meant more than just two 7-2 teams going at it, Carter showed why he should still be competing for a starting job with Chad Hutchinson by throwing three key picks. Carter didn’t even drive the Cowboys into scoring range, as evidenced by the fact that not a single field goal was attempted.
