Henson and Romo weren't ready to play at all in 2004, so how could their performances been better than his, one week into training camp. Henson was just re-learning football. Vinny's numbers weren't any better than Carter's and going up against weaker defenses in 2004 than in 2003 proved that. Carter had a 98 qb rating with the Jets in 2004 despite not knowing the offense. Sounds like Bill and Jerry dropped the ball on this one. As for Q's reliability. He has never been suspended by the league and has been available to play every game of every season he played. So the arguments against him are all bogus as usual and the fact that so many hate him in spite of the fact that he has been the only qb we've made the playoffs with says more about them than him.
As for this reliability crap. Andrew Walters doesn't have a drug issue and is available to play every week, yet the Raiders, as well as a whole host of teams with qb problems go with those qb's every week, when they'd be better served giving Carter a chance to save their seasons. Mariuchi didn't figure that out and where is he now. Herm Edwards saved his bacon by bringing in Q for year. Maybe these NFL coaches could learn that a 'problematic qb' is better than no qb at all.
Was Carter stupid? Why didn't he know the offense. He spent most of training camp with the Jets, played in pre-season games and didn't appear in the regular season until the middle of the season. If he didn't know the offense by then as you say, then he is stupid. Of course, I believe he did know the offense. What do I know except more than you.
