Yes the cowboys line is better but so are the defenses in the NFL, so it evens out. And I saw most of the game, he had time he just holds on to the ball for to long thus getting sacked or fumbling.Doomsday101 said:I would like to think that the Dallas offensive line is a lot better than what Chad is standing behind in Rhine. Most of the time it looked like a prison jail break that Chad was facing yesterday and his offensive tackle on his blind side never even slowed his man down though out the day. Having said that Chad still has to do much better protecting the ball. I still think Chad will be in camp due to the roster exemption he will have due to playing in NFL Europe

AdamJT13 said:That would be Pita Elisara, allocated by the Commanders. Let's hope he makes their roster, and that whoever is in front of him gets hurt.
On one play yesterday, the right defensive end ran through a double-team by Elisara and the left guard, ran past a running back trying to pick him up, then nailed Hutchinson in the back as Chad was stepping up to avoid a rusher from the other side. If Hutch threw the ball away to avoid a sack every time he was under pressure, he'd have thrown it away 15 of the 37 times he dropped back.

Actually - if it wasn't for Quincy's contributions...
we would have started out 0-2....
after the defense blew what was a big lead against the NY Giants on that Monday night. The season could have gone in a whole other direction.
Cease with the nonsense man.
Quincy was as instrumental in our 10 wins as the defense was.
LeonDixson said:I don't mean to bash QC, but I can't believe you are disputing that the defense led us to the playoffs. You used a bad example with the Giants game. Yes, QC made a huge pass to get us into position for the tying field goal, but it was only because he couldn't put the freaking ball in the endzone that we needed to be bailed out with the last minute heroics.
Remember our kicker kicked 7 field goals, tying an NFL record, in that game. All the offense, including Q, had to do to ice that game early on was put the ball in the end zone on two of those drives. The defense was on the field a long time in that game because the offense couldn't sustain drives. Cundiff was the hero of that game, not QC.
I never said the defense was bad.Doomsday101 said:And if it was not for the defense this team would not have won 10 games period. You are right they played bad aginst the giants but did have an int for a TD in the giants game. However there were more outing that we had where the offense did not do jack all day long and it took the defense shutting the other teams down to get the win.
cowheel said:I never said the defense was bad.
We had a good defense - not anywheres near "great".
I'm just saying this defense wasn't near good enough to overcome as horrible a quaterback play as ya'll make it seem to be last year. To say we won 10 games solely because of our defense insane.
The defense let us down quite a few times last year - most notably in the playoffs against the Panthers.
And the running attack was putrid.
So to say the QB of that team had no part in winning 10 games is utterly ridiculous.
In his 3rd year Q.C. played as well as most QBs with comparable experience.
It's actually kind of humorous the way you guys bash Quincy.
I mean - seeing how we've got the Tuna as coach....
a guy thats notoriously known for not waiting around on guys that he doesn't think can get it done.
I mean - we've had the opportunity to draft quite a few QBs...
Leftwich, etc..
We've had the opportunity to sign numerous free agents...
Plummer, Griese, Collins, Delhomme, Warner, etc,etc....
If Bill felt the way you guys did about Quincy - Q would have been gone.
And I'll take Bill's opinion over ya'lls ANYDAY.
I agree that this is Quincy's put up or shut up year.
But hell - if this past season--- he had only cut down on the INTS...
he would have had a helluva year for a guy in the first year of a new system with Troy Hambrick as his lead runner!
3000+yds and 17TDs??? You kiddin me?
Whats funny - I watched that NFL Network replay of the Dallas/Washington overtime opener...
Aikman threw 3 HORRIBLE iNTs that would have lost the game for us if Washington wasn't so incompetent.
I was thinking to myself....
now if this is QC... he'd have been booed out of Dallas.....
Doomsday101 said:While I do agree with what you have said it is still Chads responsibility to hold on to the ball, I relize some of the sacks were unavoidable but none the less the QB must protect the ball.
Doomsday101 said:I agree. If not mistake Elisara is a German national so his football experiance is quite limited. Glad the skins have him. LOL....... While I do agree with what you have said it is still Chads responsibility to hold on to the ball, I relize some of the sacks were unavoidable but none the less the QB must protect the ball.
AdamJT13 said:If NFLE had instant replay, one of his two fumbles almost certainly would have been changed to an incomplete pass. His arm was cocked to throw when the pass rusher hit his shoulder/bicep. He threw the ball as he was going down. Why it was ruled a fumble, I don't know. But once the call was made, it couldn't be fixed. On his other fumble, he wasn't even hit. A defensive lineman just poked the ball out as Hutchinson was stepping up in the pocket. It's the second week in a row that has happened. He has been much better at holding onto the ball when he gets hit, but he needs to stop that "pat pat" that exposes the ball before he throws it.
George said:I wonder if Chad ended up with a concussion from that game. It became obvious to me that Chad was not functioning normal after the first sack.

If you're expecting to get a QB that has no bad outings by his 3rd year in the league.... dream on.dbair1967 said:yeah ok...
never mind the fact that awful efforts vs Tampa Bay, New England and New Orleans basically gave us no chance whatsoever, the defense, other than one or two games had us in position to win every week...the offense, led by QC and his turnovers struggled to even score two tds a week...(I think we had 28 offensive tds last yr, pathetic)
please, enough of this QC is the reason we made the playoffs hodge-podge...he gets some credit, but almost any QB could have duplicated his mediocrity and got us to 10-6 and into the playoffs

The guy started 30 games with a horrible surrounding cast - and you guys think he's supposed to be flawless.
I don't understand.
And you look at guys like Carr and Harrington and they are continuously gioven the benefit of the doubt despite having even worse stats than Quincy Carters.
I just wanna know where it was that I wrote Quincy Carter was the reason we went 10-6.
I never said that - what are you talking about?
I said he contributed big time.
The guy threw 500 passes!!!! 500!!!!
There are less than a handful of QBs in the league that I';d want to throw the ball that many times.
But we had to throw that many times out of pure neccessity because we couldn't move the chains throwing the ball.
Troy Aikman struggled mightily for 2 years --- And that was with an emerging great offensive line and running back in the same system.
He had the luxury of handing the ball off.
Even on 3rd and 5 - teams always knew there was the possibility we'd run the ball.
In his entire career - how many times did Aikman throw more than 500 passes?
Like once?
But with Troy Hambrick...
we had to throw the ball on 3rd and 2.
Teams knew that.
Whatever man.
Bash on.
I guess we better go ahead and put Henson in there.
And when his 30 games are up - he better be playing at a high level or else.
