It's interesting weed did him in and now it's legal in a bunch of states.
People I spoke with in May 2001 that were quite dialed in at UGA told me he was very into coke. No reason to lie and certainly didn’t seem as if they were. Can’t imagine that got better after signing a pro deal.

Since they somehow made the playoffs in 2003 but he was soon thereafter replaced with Testaverde, it seems plausible.

They cut him and kept Romo.

We know crap here in Dallas is real bad when we have the likes of Quinthy Carter chiming in. Shut up Quinthy and go powder your nose. Dallas fans could give 2 bleeps what you think. The Dak and Jerry loyalists are clinging to hope as if Dak is the elusive "White Buffalo" lol and they just can't let it go, even after what we all have been seeing. TURN THE PAGE ON DAK. He had every chance.

I’m glad he turned his life around.

Quincy had addiction problems. He never hurt anybody. He only hurt himself.
Seriously, I agree. Good on him. But as a player, he did hurt the team with his addiction. Imagine what kind of player he may have been if he was able to seek help. What a shame. The team was robbed of having him available because he chose the drugs instead of his teammates. Good dude in life, however. Proud of him, but REALLY why should the fans care what he thinks about Dak or the team? Doesn't move the needle.

Wow. Never read/heard that pre-draft. I remember reading that there may have been some minor off the field concerns. Remember, this was the draft right after McNabb had his break out season and Jerry was desperate to not only immediately replace Aikman but also find the next McNabb. While Carter did have some good physical tools, most experts agreed he was a reach in the 2nd round even without the off-the-field stuff.
