Quincy Thrills Jet's Hackett - Dallas Cowboys Forum

NorthDalal · 09-01-2004

Say what?

"I think it's totally changed our quarterback position on this football team. To have someone who has not only started in the NFL, but took a team to the playoffs ... that gives us the one element that we didn't have before."

Who said that?

Was it the Giants talking about Kurt Warner? Or the Ravens putting stock in Kordell Stewart? Or the Rams cooing over Chris Chandler?

No, it was Jets offensive coordinator Paul Hackett praising Quincy Carter, who replaces Vinny Testaverde as the team's backup. The same Quincy Carter who is 0-1 lifetime in postseason games.

How does this concern the Dallas Cowboys or their fans?

QC isn't a cowboy anymore. Who gives a f**k what he does or what anyone says about him?

1.)Ever heard of a young offensive assistant forced on Tom Landry by Tex Schramm in his last few years when it became apparent Tom needed a boost of offensive energy?

2.) Ever heard the complaint that Vinnie was forced into an offensive system that he was not suited to when Pennington went down.

3. ) Ever contemplated the irony inherent in the idea that VT could thrive here W/ Bill and Shaun Payton after languishing under Hackett in N.Y.

Now Quincy is signed by the Jets and the spin has started up in N.Y.

It looks like an interesting twist to me.

I know who Hackett is. He's the Jets OCoord. Still, he's not with the cowboys now (thank god) and neither is QC. So who gives a crap what he thinks or about anything QC does.

Hey I know, let's start a "This is what Dennis Green said about Troy Hambrick thread".

Ahem, last year VT and Pennington were the QBs and both had previously lead the Jets to the playoffs. VT even had them in the championship game one year and that wasn't even all that long ago (1998).

Hackett lost his boy when Danny White went down with the wrist...

Q is no fit for him... it is all spin...

So ignore the thread instead of posting on it.

How is this such a big praise? Really he is just stating something that we all know. Except many think the team carried Quincy into the playoffs. I really don't think we will regret our decision to rid ourselves of Quincy. I for one am glad this happened. It will make the transition to Henson that much less messy.

Rack, for crying out loud man.....he IS a former Cowboy.....like it or not. People still post about Emmitt.....people still post about Galloway. People still post about other teams on this website. Why? Because it may interest people. Should we clear things through you before we post or something?

I don't see what's the concern.

Quincy Carter is an experienced backup. Why wouldn't the Jets be thrilled to get a QB with his credentials?
He may not be the best but he has experience, and he did enough to help the Cowboys get to the playoffs.
And they didn't have to spend that much to acquire him.

Good move for the Jets.

I certainly hope your screwed up opinion isn't referring to me.

And, yes, everything should be cleared by me before it gets posted. That's a good idea.

Fla Cowpoke · 09-01-2004

Why would any of this come as a surprise?

We all know that Carter can be a charmer. He worked his magic on Jones and Parcells. Big Bill had nothing but praise for Carter's work ethic while he was here.

We will see if the Jets are as thrilled if Carter has to get on the playing field.

its not scrwed up, but yeah you were one of the one's I was referring to...seems you have been overly defensive about the whole thing...there are three or four others who it applies to as well so dont feel like you were the only one
