Dan Carpenter, time for a new jersey
UPDATE: Just learned that Dan Carpenter college jersey number was #29. This fight just got a lot easier.
Dan Carpenter is the kicker for the Dolphins and it has come to our attention that he has decided to NOT GIVE UP #5 to the incoming 2nd round draft pick Pat White. (click to enlarge)
Let me just say that I’m sure Dan Carpenter is a great guy and has a great family and is a great football player (well a great kicker I should say) and I know Pat White is more than a number, but…
Dan Carptenter wears #5… Pat White IS #5
Pat White is a Quarterback/WR/Wildcat. Dan Carptner is a kicker.
Pat White was drafted in the 2nd Round. Dan Carpenter wasn’t even drafted
Pat White won 4 bowl games including 2 BCS Bowls: Sugar and Fiesta. Dan Carpenter played for Montana and never played in a bowl game.
I think Dan will soon learn that the last thing he wants is hundreds of thousands of Mountaineer fans giving him shiz and making his life a living hell because of the number on his jersey.
Dan, seriously, save yourself some grief and give Pat White #5 I think he’s earned it.
Is Dan Carpenter the new Ray Finkle?
ABOUT THIS AUTHOR
Last time I checked, Dan Carpenter was a STARTER on an NFL team. Pat White hasn’t made the roster yet, and probably won’t be a starter for the Dolphins. Oh, by the way, Carpenter was an All-American, played 4 years in the playoffs, and played in a national championship game.
Oh, by the way, he and his Division I-AA team lost that national champ game…. wasn’t drafted… is a no name for anyone not in Montana or Miami…will NEVER have the fan base that Pat White has and earned. Carpenter should do the right thing and give Pat White his #5.
How many title games did White play in? He could have played in 1, but they lost to PITT!!
Wow, talk about arrogance! Who gives a rip about a number. Don’t you people have anything better to worry about? My suggestion is that Pat White and his fans ought to bury those giant egos and EARN a place on the Dolphins squad. Dan Carpenter doesn’t owe Pat White anything and he has earned his place with the Dolphins and has not just been pre-placed into legendary status. I hope he can come in and make as much of a contribution to the team as Dan has.
how many BCS bowls did #29 Dan Carpenter play in? His number wasn’t even #5 in college.. the dude just need to show some respect. Pat White would kick his ass all day (if they weren’t team mates now)
Do you guys even have a stadium, Griz Boy? Carpenter made rookie minimum. White will make a few million. I am sure PW will be able to buy the jersey he wants.
Congrats getting a Montana player to the NFL. I didin’t know they took Div 3 players very often.
Sure they have a stadium, Barney. I do believe you’ve been there.
The Dolphins already have a player wearing number 29. I don’t recall any Montana fans whining because Carpenter couldn’t have that number.
cause no one gave a crap about him maybe?
he was just happy to have a job!
You mean to tell me that Montana has a football team. I thought they had a bunch of cheerleaders.
Wow. Lots of ignorance being splashed around on this page! Does Montana even have a stadium? LOL!! Pat can probably hear the fans screaming every other Saturday in Miami. And check your rosters bud. Check out the Vikings. Colt Anderson. Griz player. And Miami is actually smart enough to have not one, but TWO Griz alum playing for them. Lots of talk, not alot of knowledge….
Is this a joke? I can see this coming from some cocky team like the Canes or Horns…but the Mountaineers. Come on guys, have some class!
Dan could have been an ALL American on ANY college team in the country. Take a look at his stats, they don’t lie. Ever tried to kick a field goal in -20 degree weather with the wind blowing sideways? He has unbelievible stats considering the adverse playing conditions he endured. I am sad the Husker staff did not have the brains to offer him a scholarship. Wait until the Phins go up to the Pats, and the snow is blowing sideways. He will kick it through, even if the Pats are known to cheat and blade a path for their kicker.
I am a Pat White fan but there is no need to belittle another teams players from other conferences. It makes us as bad as all the other conferences that snub their noses at the BE. Carpenter was there first and if he wants to keep his number it is his right.
your crying around about a number? what, is pat white not going to play better because he's not number 5? grow up please this is football, the only number that matters is the score.
Carpenter is gonna play in a pro bowl before this guy even starts a game.
Let the air out of your ego and find something real to bi**h about.
Bob, you're just an idiot. I'm trying to be polite, but I can't think of any nicer way to say it.
