Here is a version for the CFL fans...! I don't know French, sooo?

This the same poem run through a translator? It's fun to try and read that stuff!



La perspective n'était pas brillante pour l'offense de Dallas ce jour, Le score a tenu dix-sept à quatorze avec deux
minutes sont partis jouer, Et quand Johnson a tombé une passe errante, et Glenn l'un a tombé, aussi, les
ventilateurs de Crankcase pleuré "Conspiracy! », pendant que ses critiques pourraient faire rien mais hue,
La foule a diminué solidement, mais ceux qui est resté, Prié pour un miracle, un orage d'aberration avec la
pluie, Ils ont pensé, « Si seulement Troie ou Roger étaient ici de contrôler, » Ils n'avait pas de foi dans
l'offense avec Crankcase courant le spectacle,
Mais Troie était dans Foxboro, regardant les Caresses jouent dans la neige, Roger courait ses affaires et regarder
son argent grandit, Donc sur la foule restante, le devenir fade de désespoir descendu, Pour le petit hasard là-bas
semblé de marquer si long comme l'autre équipe a défendu,
Mais Jones a cassé la course longue, et la foule a donné un soupir, Alors Keyshawn a accroché un hors, bien
qu'il a été lancé un petit haut, Et quand l'offense s'est blotti, et l'avait aperçu refs la balle, Les Cowboys
étaient passés le cinquante, à l'étonnement de tout,
Alors des partisans restants, là-bas acclamations de tumultous de rose, Il a grondé par le Stade de Texas, et
rugi dans les oreilles de Crankcase, Il a fait son esprit planer, et il a fait sa livre de coeur, Il a pris son
endroit parmi l'autre grand qu'avait entendu aussi ce son,
Maintenant son fait face à a paru calme, et comme il a courbé pour prendre le claquement, Il a vu le
cornerbacks jouant tendu, et empoigne jouer l'écart, Il a vu le linebackers jouant l'homme en dessous, et les
sûretés dans la couverture deux, Il a vu Glenn dans l'entaille, et il a su qu'il devait faire,
Crankcase a donné un compte dur, et le centre a claqué sur trois, UN playaction rapide à Jones, et Glenn courait
libre, Crankcase blesse son bras puissant et a laissé la mouche de football, Il a navigué par-dessus la tête de
Glenn, à peu près cinq pieds trop haut,
« Le tuer ! Tuer Terry Glenn, » a pleuré la base de ventilateur de Crankcase loyale, Et ils l'auraient tué
probablement mais pour le regard sur la visage de Crankcase, Avec une caresse rapide à sa propre poitrine et une
gifle amicale à la tête de Glenn, Crankcase a pris la blâme bien que ses critiques voyaient rouge,
Avec un sourire désapprouvant d'humilité, le visage de Crankcase a rayonné, Et le sien évente a su qu'il n'était
pas fautif, mais l'un avait pris pour l'équipe, Et comme il a reculé sous le centre, avec Keyshawn au sien
juste, le sien évente resté certain qu'il y aurait un parti de victoire cette nuit,
Le centre est allé à pied la balle, et Crankcase a tombé de retour, Keyshawn a fractionné la couture, et explosé par la
fissure, Il streakiait en bas le champ, le coin était extrême derrière, Mais Crankcase l'a déchargé dans le plat à
Anderson, le seul récepteur qu'il pourrait trouver,
« Coslet ! » a poussé des cris aigus les ventilateurs de Crankcase loyaux, a fâché aussi clairement pour voir,
Que Mo était dans la cabine parce que Coslet a été vidé dans Oh-Trois, Mais Crankcase s'est élevé le sien
transmet pour le silence, et le sien évente a applaudi son aplomb, Ils ont su que sur le tiers et neuf, Crankcase
lancerait finalement une bombe,
Crankcase a aligné dans le fusil, avec Glenn et Johnson a fractionné large, Witten a été aligné sur Crankcase est
parti, et Jones était à son côté, La balle a été claquée sur un compte silencieux aussitôt que le ref a soufflé
le sien siffle, Glenn et Johnson streaked downfield, et Crankcase a lancé un missile,
Oh, quelque part dans l'état de Texas, il doit y avoir une foule heureuse, quelque part les ventilateurs
encouragent, quelque part ils sont fiers, quelque part une équipe a une victoire, et les accolades bien mérités
sont acceptées, Mais cela quelque part n'est pas Dallas, parce que la passe de Crankcase a été interceptée.

MY BOY QC IS struggling right now . His football days are probably done , unless he signs somewhere in CFL Soon. With that said his Nfl career was still better then hutchinsons and Hensons so far, so all the Qc supporters have won , because all the qc haters supported hutchinson and henson over Carter . Henson is a more of a bum then hutchinson , he'll be out of the league soon as well.

Jean-Jacques Taylor, of the Dallas Morning News, reports former Dallas Cowboys QB Quincy Carter said that marijuana use played a role in his abrupt release from the team before the 2004 season. As noted earlier, Carter signed with the Montreal Allouettes of the CFL Tuesday, April 4. "I made a mistake in the past. That mistake was for marijuana. I'm excited about getting a fresh start with Montreal and I want to put the things in the past behind me," Carter said. "When you walk around and people think you're on cocaine or bipolar, it hurts. None of that was the case." Carter said he will spend the rest of the CFL's offseason in Canada preparing for the upcoming season, which begins at the end of May.

If he didnt smoke weed, he would still be the Cowboys Starting Qb right now

My guess is Carter wasn't on the same page as the others. The coach, GM and other QBs talked about the importance of learning the offense and making the right reads while Carter was talking about being inside and able to throw long. Maybe he didn't understand the offense and/or make the right reads. Maybe his physical skills weren't the problem.

Just a thought.

His physical skills have never been the problem.

“The Bizarre World of Quincy Carter”

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” –Sir Winston Churchill

Some of them never believed in you. Some of them hoped you’d fail. Some of them even conspired to destroy your greatness. But it’s always been this way, hasn’t it? And there’s nothing you can do about it, except maybe grab another dozen leather balls with your calloused, swollen hands and hurl the football 20 yards down the field on a perfect rope. Yeah, your arm hurts and your right shoulder convulses in agony… but physical pain never really bothered you. A dislocated finger or a twisted knee can be blocked out—washed away from your mind until the 60 minutes come to a bloody close. After all, this is the burden great men bear—from the legends of lore to the martyrs of today. But the one wound, the one indignity you’ve never been able to suffer is failure and blame.

Welcome to the bizarre world of Quincy Carter—onetime Chicago Cubs’ baseball prospect, University of Georgia football phenom, and the heir apparent to future Hall of Famer Troy Aikman. Quincy Carter not only brushed shoulders with greatness; he seemed on the verge of exemplifying it. A rare combination of size, athleticism, and intelligence, Carter stood for a while without peer in the dominion of athletic competition. Hell, even as a high school player, Carter’s overwhelming physical prowess reaped him an unending array of trophies and accolades. He became a local legend in those pre-collegiate days, passing for nearly 4,500 yards and 37 touchdowns—as well as rushing for nearly 1,500 yards and 32 touchdowns. In terms of sheer athletic talent, Carter wasn’t a man amongst boys… but a god amongst mortals.

But it was not to last.

Welcome once again to the bizarre world of Quincy Carter—onetime .211 minor league hitter, University of Georgia scapegoat, and brooding benchwarmer for the Dallas Cowboys.

For Quincy Carter, everything is black and white. He’s either on top of the world or smothered beneath it. His cerebral makeup simply isn’t suited for mediocrity—and the same mentality that drives him towards greatness also fractures his psyche, siphoning him down a slippery slope of arrogance and paranoia in a self-destructive tailspin. Quincy Carter is an extraordinarily confident young man who believes in himself when others do not… but the same confidence that shields so well against criticism can also cut its host below the knees. Carter’s ego, you see, is fueled by a fictional façade of messianic grandeur, protecting him from failure in an enclave of excuses. In the bizarre world of Quincy Carter, the same protective shield that blunts the slings of adversaries also obscures reality—stunting his growth and maturity.

After batting .211 and .214 in the minor leagues, Carter returned to football. His explanation for quitting baseball? “I knew I didn’t want to come back to football tired, so I just thought maybe I should give myself some rest… Even if I don’t play baseball again, I won’t have been a failure, I just didn’t get the opportunity that I wanted to have,” he told a UGA-affiliated magazine in 1999. When Carter struggled in October 2002, heaving four interceptions in a 9-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, Quincy screamed on the sidelines at the Dallas Cowboys’ coaches and owner, blaming his woeful performance on a failure to receive enough snaps in practice. Self-blame and introspection don’t exist in Quincy Carter’s bizarre world—and should things go awry, the fault always rests with a third party. Sometimes it’s the fault of fate and sometimes it’s the coaches who failed to adequately prepare. But it’s never the fault of Carter, for accepting blame would be an intolerable affront to his ego.

When thing go well, Carter says and does all the right things. He’ll practice and train with an unflappable work ethic and provide the media with all the appropriate soundbites: “I want to get better. Every time I step on the field, I want to be perfect. I just want to keep honing in on my mistakes and keep getting better every time I step out on the football field. You’ve got to have thick skin in the NFL. People are going to say whatever they’re going to say. I’m starting to be a leader, to fill that role.” But when things fall apart, Carter wears his arrogance like an insufferable coat of armor, insisting to everyone that his greatness is all but assured—and curiously, he’ll refer to himself in third person. After a miserable junior year at the University of Georgia—where he went from being a Heisman-hopeful to an Athens outcast—Carter told the press that any sort of criticism was simply beneath him: “I put nothing but positive things in my mind. When you know what you’re doing as a person, you don’t worry about anything else. It goes along with being Quincy Carter.” Following an embarrassing opening day loss to the Houston Texans, Jennifer Floyd of the Star Telegram reported: “To make matters worse, [Carter] wouldn’t own up to any of it. He blamed the line, said he hadn’t played poorly and quietly, among a few select teammates, complained that maybe race was a factor in his getting all of the blame.” Following a loss to the Eagles, Carter said, “It’s only my 11th start. I’m going to be working to keep up with Donovan, and when I get to his level, I'm going to keep working to get better. I don’t use other players as motivation. I use myself. I’m Quincy Carter.” Apparently, being Quincy Carter and assuming culpability are innately in conflict. How bad did things get in Dallas? Chad Hutchinson, an undrafted rookie who hadn’t played football in four years—someone of whom Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones had earlier said, “It would be asking way too much for [Hutchinson] to actually compete for a role this season. Chad’s value to us will be as a future project. This should in no way be construed as a statement about Quincy Carter. Quincy is at the head of the pack,”—was declared the starter at the midway point of the 2002 season.

How Carter handled his NFL benching spoke volumes of his schizophrenic mental makeup. “There’s certain things I won’t comment on because the guys in this locker room, they know what kind of player I am,” he said. “They elected me as captain before the season, and that’s when everything was supposed to be going on. Out of respect for them, I can’t talk and go into self-defense mode. I can’t let them down or myself down… That’s Quincy.” It almost makes it sound as if Quincy Carter was gallantly accepting martyrdom for his teammates—leaping atop a live grenade to spare the innocents from harm. Team insiders paint a much bleaker picture. Dallas quarterback coach Wade Wilson said, “I don’t think Quincy trusted me like he did last year… I think he lost focus on what was real important. Outside influences became more important to him. Then the rep thing became a problem. He wanted all the reps. That wasn’t happening. [Chad and Quincy] got 50-50 in mini-camp and parts of training camp. That wasn’t sitting well with him. He got caught up in all of that. I don’t think his focus was where it needed to be.” An anonymous Cowboy coach ruefully reported, “He didn't have a single guy left in his corner.” In fact, one source claims that Carter refused to accept any blame during an offensive coaching session and actually blamed his teammates for deviating from the proscribed game plan—when it was Carter who insisted they do so. This coaching session concluded with wide receiver Joey Galloway calling Quincy Carter a liar. Regardless, Jerry Jones scheduled approximately 40 meetings with Carter between April and October before demoting the onetime Georgia star, unable to convince Carter that he was not the subject of a team-orchestrated conspiracy.

What triggered this unusual reaction by Quincy Carter? What caused Carter—who captured NFC Player of the Week honors as a rookie with a scintillating victory over the playoff-bound 49ers, a game in which Carter netted a quarterback rating of 118.9—to self-destruct so spectacularly? The culprit was once again his cerebral makeup. His smug self confidence served him well as a rookie, when so-called draft experts claimed that he wasn’t even worth a second round draft choice. It served him well when critics scoffed that Carter—the man who once set the SEC ablaze and was the first Bulldog to start at QB as a freshman since Johnny Rauch in 1945—couldn’t even throw a spiral. It was his unwavering self confidence that brought him to the cusp of NFL greatness. But his self confidence remains based upon a complex set of illusions. The first illusion is that destiny owes Carter greatness, by virtue of his Herculean work ethic and preordained regality. The second is that all his failures are due to outside, traitorous forces. Believing that his enemies were conspiring to due him harm—as they had in college football and minor league baseball—he crawled under his shield and tried to do things his way, trusting no one but himself. He failed miserably, for the NFL is far too complex to be mastered in seclusion.

What does the future hold in the bizarre world of Quincy Carter? His stubborn belief in himself hasn’t changed. Deep in his heart he knows that he’s destined to light up the night, to dazzle the heavens with his overwhelming talent. And he’s not afraid to work diligently towards this goal. His talent and tenacity will almost assuredly capture the imagination of Bill Parcells, the new Dallas Cowboys’ head coach. And it’s not a long shot that Carter’s unique blend of faith, athletic ability, and self confidence will land him back in the starting role. But somewhere along the line Quincy Carter will hear a whisper from the outer deck—and once again retreat within his defensive shield. And as his team’s fortunes sour, Carter will be asked to believe in his coaches, his teammates, and the organization as much as he believes in himself. And once again, he’ll see treacherous daggers pointed towards his heart.

In Quincy Carter’s bizarre world, the only thing worthy of trust is the myth of Quincy Carter.

He might be right in a fashion.

Carter would have started 2004 for us. Now would he have finished it with Vinny Testeverde breathing down his neck? That is a different story. At any rate, Carter would have melted down as soon as we signed Bledsoe, no question. It was just a matter of time.
