ugh...what a dreadful time for our franchise when this guy was starting QB...he was a maddingly inconsistent, inaccurate, turnover prone bonehead on and off the field
I'm a UGA guy and was hoping this guy could build off what was an amazing Freshman yr at Georgia, but he didnt...he got progressively worse every season from there, and was a tremendous loser off the field and in the lockerroom
he had a couple of nice moments on the field, but for the most part he was awful...IMO he's the worst starting QB we've ever had, by far...in fact he's one of the worst starting players, period.

I used to hate Bruce Coslet, but I hand it to him, he said it best. The guy was just good enough to get coaches fired. He had the 'tools' to ever few plays make a wow throw that looked like he belonged in the NFL.
And then the next 10 plays were dreadful. You just always hoped that eventually he would make more of those wow plays. Talk about fooling ourselves (some of us at least).

even worse than

Quincy Carter was at LEAST a serviceable Quarterback.
He screwed himself out of the league.
If he didn't he would still be in the NFL, a backup, but still in the NFL.

“Every once in a while a player comes along who causes you to think `this one is different; this one is going to be special. I felt that way about Quincy the first time I ever sat down and talked to him one-on-one.”

After talking to him one on one, I think he needs a speech therapist.

This never gets old!! :laugh2:
(To the tune of "Casey at the Bat")
The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Dallas offense that day,
The score stood seventeen to fourteen with two minutes left to play,
And when Johnson dropped an errant pass, and Glenn dropped one, too,
Quincy's fans cried "Conspiracy!", while his critics could do naught but boo,
The crowd steadily dwindled, but those who remained,
Prayed for a miracle, a freak thunderstorm with rain,
They thought, "If only Troy or Roger were here to take control,"
They had no faith in the offense with Quincy running the show,
But Troy was in Foxboro, watching the Pats play in the snow,
Roger was running his business and watching his money grow,
So upon the remaining crowd, the pall of despair descended,
For there seemed little chance of scoring so long as the other team defended,
But Jones broke a long run, and the crowd gave a sigh,
Then Keyshawn snagged an out, though it was thrown a little high,
And when the offense huddled, and the refs had spotted the ball,
The Cowboys were past the fifty, to the amazement of all,
Then from the remaining partisans, there rose tumultous cheers,
It rumbled through Texas Stadium, and roared in Quincy's ears,
It made his spirit soar, and it made his heart pound,
He took his place among the other greats that had also heard this sound,
Now his faced looked calm, and as he bent to take the snap,
He saw the cornerbacks playing tight, and tackles playing the gap,
He saw the linebackers playing man under, and the safeties in cover two,
He saw Glenn in the slot, and he knew what he had to do,
Quincy gave a hard count, and the center snapped on three,
A quick playaction to Jones, and Glenn was running free,
Quincy wound his mighty arm and let the football fly,
It sailed over Glenn's head, about five feet too high,
"Kill him! Kill Terry Glenn," cried Quincy's loyal fan base,
And they likely would have killed him but for the look on Quincy's face,
With a quick pat to his own chest and a friendly slap to Glenn's head,
Quincy took the blame even though his critics were seeing red,
With a deprecating smile of humility, Quincy's visage beamed,
And his fans knew he was not at fault, but had taken one for the team,
And as he stepped back under center, with Keyshawn to his right,
His fans remained certain that there would be a victory party that night,
The center hiked the ball, and Quincy dropped back,
Keyshawn split the seam, and exploded through the crack,
He was streaking down the field, the corner was far behind,
But Quincy dumped it in the flat to Anderson, the only receiver he could find,
"Coslet!" screeched Quincy's loyal fans, too angered to clearly see,
That Mo was in the booth because Coslet was fired in Oh-Three,
But Quincy raised his hands for quiet, and his fans applauded his aplomb,
They knew that on third and nine, Quincy would finally launch a bomb,
Quincy lined up in the shotgun, with Glenn and Johnson split wide,
Witten was lined up on Quincy's left, and Jones was at his side,
The ball was snapped on a silent count as soon as the ref blew his whistle,
Glenn and Johnson streaked downfield, and Quincy launched a missile,
Oh, somewhere in the state of Texas, there must be a happy crowd,
Somewhere fans are cheering, somewhere they are proud,
Somewhere a team has a victory, and well-earned accolades are accepted,
But that somewhere isn't Dallas, because Quincy's pass was intercepted.

Yes, Quincy was "serviceable" in his 3rd year. We never got the chance to see if he could improve from that.
He was never in the same offensive system for 2 consecutive years, and was going to finally get that luxury in 2004 (before he smoked it away).
Quincy in 2003 = 10 wins, 3559 total yards, 18 total TDs, 22 total TOs
Vinny in 2004 = 6 wins, 3570 total yards, 18 total TDs, 24 total TOs
Yeah, probably. But awww too bad it's a bottom line business, huh?
I bet if you took away Emmitt, Michael, the OL, and our D, Troy would be on that list too. So what's your point?

of the people you listed, only one of them started more than a few games...
maybe I should have qualified it as "worst regular starting QB"
and yeah, he was worse than Pelleur...thats isnt saying much, as comparing Carter to Pelleur is like comparing chicken crap and horse crap...they look different, but both are crap
and he didnt screw himself out of the league...if he was worth a damn, somebody would put him out there...he isnt, and thats why he's not

If you value winning, Carter was much better. If you value stats, they were essentially the same.
You must be a HUGE Dan Marino fan.
Uh huh. Yeah, the Cowboys totally were going to cut him before his failed drug tests. Nonetheless, he was the Jets backup QB the next year. And I'm sure his disappearing act from the Jets the next year had NOTHING to do with getting a 3rd shot.
So his fall from grace had nothing to do with off-field issues and everything to do with on-field performance? Riiight.
Try and stay out of Quincy's stash, will ya?

The guy was a drug user, probably still is. Somehow I don't see that as a crime against us, but we treat him as if he shot our sister.
I'll say this, certain people can do the same crimes but won't get nearly the hateful attitude as other types. Us good old Americans, I'll tell ya.

agreed. The guy never had a shot in my opinion his own fans were down on him the second he was drafted. I hope he has his head on straight now Good Luck Q
