Shante, we agree that your play in the NFL improved each year. In 1997, you started all sixteen games for the Dallas Cowboys. Because you played (and started) the full slate of sixteen, we feel 1997 would be the best season to examine and the best example for our defense:
In 1997, the Dallas Cowboys finished 6-10. You had six sacks in five games. In those five games, the Cowboys went 4-1. In the other eleven games, the Cowboys went 2-9. We believe that you had a direct, positive impact on the Cowboys. We agree that when Shante Carver produces numbers, the Dallas Cowboys are doing well.
Additionally, you played behind some big names on the Cowboys' defensive line. That, along with a variety of other reasons, prevented you from getting on the field. However, you overcame it and started 25 consecutive games to finish your NFL career (23 reg., 2 playoffs). You also recorded a sack in the last Cowboys' playoff victory ('96-'97, MIN).
Looking at your entire body of NFL work, though, we feel your impact—in terms of consistency and production—did not match expectations for a first-round (23rd overall) draft pick.
Production can only occur when you get on the field. Your NFL career lasted 4 seasons, with only one full season (1997). During that final stretch of 25 straight games as a starter, you only tallied 9 sacks. On the whole, you played in 52 of 64 regular season games, starting 26, and you played in 5 of 7 playoff games, starting 4. Over 57 games, you recorded 13 sacks.
A short NFL career, with limited statistical value and an inability to stay on the field, neither meets the expectations nor realizes the potential of a first-round draft pick. The above characteristics qualify you as a bust on the NFL level.

This is not to say you were not a success on other levels—you were an All-American at Arizona State and a finalist for the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award, after all. Your inclusion on the Cowboys bust list is simply reflective of NFL production with respect to expectations.

That's hilarious! Here's a hint...if you're contacting a blog to defend yourself, you probably didn't pan out as an NFL player.
Also, if you got hooked on the cocaine and now spend your days in a Stockton, California strip club...you probably didn't ever validate the first round pick the Cowboys wasted on you.
Actually he had been using cocaine and other substances since high school. The last team he should have gone to was the cowboys with their heavy substance abuse during the 90's.
Wow, that's a little critical of NFL inks and anonymous to say... His actions off the field didn't reflect in is skills on the field, give the guy some credit. Did you ever make it to the NFL or play in a SuperBowl? Gees... Shante Carver may have been short lived but in my book was a great player, just playing in bad times...
Shante is a wonderful person and was a hell of a football player and anyone that thinks differently is just an asshole. Let me guess NFL Links, you probably think Michael Vick is a dog lover too.....open your eyes.
I was trying to figure out why Shante only played 4 seasons in the NFL. The blogs here point to drugs but I don't remember that being reported back at the end of the 97 season but perhaps I forgot. In any case, posting 6 sacks in his only full season as a starter was not too shabby when you go back and look at the number of sacks other high drafted players or FAs like Charles Haley got as a Cowboy (he only posted double digit sacks once). Consider also the level of talent Shante played with and its a shame he couldn't have stuck around until Greg Ellis came along to put on the other side. Unless drugs was the problem I would have given him another contract.
I should have read what Shante blogged before posting my last comment. By his own words he obviously did have off the field problems (Cocaine addiction i presume) that sank his career. There is no doubt he could have been a good player by what he showed in his limited playing time. Its a shame because the knock on effect of having to go back to the well to try and draft another player with a another premium pick just added to the decline in overall talent on the team. Maybe if he stayed clean and continued to improve the team would have drafted a CB or a WR before we ever got to Duane Goodrich or the block buster Joey Galloway trade.
Wow so many people have so many dumb ass opinions about Shante Carver. He was not a bust in the NFL he did what Dallas needed him to do. I am a die hard Cowboy fan and was very satisfied with what he did for us. And I now know Shante Carver personally and i coach with him on football team called the West side Monsoon. It is a semi pro league in Arizona and he is helping guys become better athlets and I respect him as a person. Quit seeing him as a player he is a human being and made some mistakes in his past so what.Give it a rest bloggers and think before you right something and oh yeah if you have a comment for for me email me at bigtexas2424@yahoo.com I go by texas so hit me up.
Shante Carver a bust?....I don't see it.....maybe his NFL career was shorter than what a lot of us wanted..... would say that about other players who never played again because of injury......? C'mon man.....he played on a team that had a rotation of quality players, that's what the coaches wanted, fresh legs for the entire 4 quarters....if you didn't know that, then you don't know shit about football, and you definitely aren't an expert........I've had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Carver at one of his Monsoon practices, after my son's youth football practice, and he's out there doing something and giving something back to the game. A lot more than I can say for some of the haters here, who probably couldn't make it thru one of our youth practices without throwing up.......Mr. Carver, you made it, very few of us can say that, and keep doing what you're doing.....whether you realize it or not, you're helping someone else to realize their dream.......Good Luck and GOD bless....Coach Joe, Legacy Football Academy, and also, Hoyas Football....
Omg people are so easy to judge someone and not even know them... saying he did drugs or lives in strip clubs thats funny.. also saying he wrote those post..how funny someone writes in and pretends to be him and barbie runs with it..how do we even know its him? All i know he was a good player and would of like to see him play more. I am so glad some people talk about him on the field than pretending to know him off the field.. NFL link I heard he was spending his days and nights raising his nieces and nephews not in strip clubs but god forbid he might have gone to one before and you exaggerate he spends all his time there..i am so glad there are perfect people in the world like you.
YOU ARE A BUST ON AND OFF THE FIELD......period.. thanks for sleeping with my wife in 2015 and destroying my family with 4 kids. enjoy the handbasket ride!
lol to those defending his fellow teamates made fun of how bad he was in his first training camp and wondered who was dumb enough to pick him please with the "he wasn't that bad" comments.
I heard he was homosexual........how did he get caught sleeping with someone's wife? Kind of hard to imagine someone who they say is gay doing that.
He isn't gay. I know his girl for year and she is hot enough to turn a gay man straight I doubt he cheated he'd be a fool.
He isn't gay. I know his girl for years and she's hot enough to turn a gay man straight I doubt he cheated he be a fool
Not sure about the gay part, but I KNOW the cheating part. It was my wife he did it with, and I have the proof. To the one who posted above, you said "doubt". As far as me, I have the proof. I feel sorry for his girl.
feel sorry for you having a trifiling wife if you have proof he probably did and that sucks she's a cool chick who would leave him if she knew.
I thought my wife cheated with one guy found out it was a few guys. I knew she lied alot I didn't know she was so good at it. Dating her friend now and finding out from her what a narcissist my wife was and glad I left her.
You need to mind your own business and see where you compare to him no where
Your wife is the one who ruined her family. I would bet all those kids aren't yours because once a cheater always a cheater. Get Paternity test. Of course she is a liar if she cheats. I dated him for years and he is still chasing me. Tells me he has dreams about me and says I'm his love. Nobody is special to him and he has always cheated. If you have daughters like me, raise them to stay away from men like him.
Shante Carver is living out his Karma.
All the derogatory things said here are true, I’ve witnessed it all first hand. He’s a liar. He is narrsaciatic. He is selfish. He does drugs. He couldn’t pass a drug test if he wanted to!
He and I had been dating for 10 months. His airline chick kNew about it because she called me to ask me about our relationship.
I want to thank the above poster because you wrote something that I’ve not been able to shake...about raising your kids to not ever be with a man like him. Very powerful honest painful words. Also you wrote this message during the time we were together which hurt but I knew you had no reason to lie...
My heart goes out to the guy who’s wife he F’d. There’s no doubt in my mind he slept with her. I found pictures on his phone of some chick and it wasn’t the airline lady.
She told me they are engaged yet he’s telling me he loves me - what a fool...
look at their personality traits and get a deep understanding of how they relate to the cheating aspect because a Narcissist is selfish, they’re entitled, they’re very self-focused right, they only care about themselves, they don’t necessarily even care about their children except to be used as pawns in a cover of some fake life that their leading. So, a Narcissist generally is so selfish that they don’t make really good sexual partners. They’re demanding to what they want to do, it’s their time, it’s their schedule, and their very often over sexual that their needs are not being met with one partner even though they pretend that they are to that partner. When you get involved with a Narcissist of course you’re not knowing it’s a Narcissist. But when you get involved with someone that it just seems too good to be true there’s a very good chance that it isn’t true. You thought that they love and you thought that everybody thought you were the perfect couple. So how could he cheat you. This was the answer to your prayers, this is your soulmate, this is the man of your dream of a fairy tale, it’s prince charming for God’s sake. How could you think that prince charming, he’s with me all the time, he’s never with someone else. Well, that isn’t always true. And depending on how skilled your Narcissist is in this cheating arena, they may have spent decades hiding what they’ve done. And generally not just with one other person as we may found out about that person, right?
I’ve been seeing him for months and he says he loves me. I have herpes and glad now I didn’t tell him that. That’s karma.
You women are absolutely pathetic. To come on a blog, post anonymously, and trash talk my uncle, speaks more about the kind of "women" you are, than it does the man he is. You sound desperate, insecure, and definitely pathetic. I hope he stays far away from lanatics like you.
The last three posts are from an unstable woman Monica c Wright.
This Monica is a little more than unstable. A woman in her 50s, sending multiple text messages to my friend. Pictures of herself naked along with illegal drugs she is taking. Who does this? I’m embarrassed for her. Even after writing the above comments she’s still chasing him. I’ve known Shante for years and apparently she doesn’t know him at all.
My wife and I just saw you and your girl at the asu game. Wtf are you having to deal with? If someone name Monica is looking for you we will tell her you moved to Alaska.
Someone just showed me this and it’s funny. I know Monica for years from San Diego. She is a Pathological liar and a thief. She’s manipulative and has no class The girl obsesses over men and that’s why she’s never had a relationship. Men run from her. She thinks were friends but she doesn’t know how to be a friend. The website I saw about her is all true. He doesn’t want her no man does.
Love Cali
I was searching my man and I found this website. Looks like he is dated some crazy but now he has me. Love my bbcm
I hear he is a heroin addict.
I’m so glad to hear he has lost everything. Screwing somebody’s wife will led you to becoming a loser. The only women you will get now are women nobody else wants and another drug addict like yourself.
Still calling me after all these years. I do feel bad for him because he is not happy. reading these comments It’s sad that he cheated with someone’s wife and he hasn’t changed.
Verifying this is monica wright from #thewrightsource. Doing a reference check. Please respond on here or email mirroashley.h@gmail.com. Thank you
This is Monica Wright from San Diego. I would not advise doing any kind of business with her. She has a reputation as someone you can’t trust. A liar and a drug person who slept with any guy whoever said hi to her. It shows what kind of person she is when her friends show you these sites talking negative about her and agree.
She told us he used to manscape and now he’s messy. Bitch talks too much and pays for everything with these broke jokes. She gets played. last guy told peps she smelled bad.
He wants to be with me and hasn’t felt like this before. he doesn’t want the weak clingy chick who buys love. I read these comments and feel sorry for the women
What a sick man. he’s a pedophile.
She works @peak project. Still does drugs and someone I would not hire
