Until the next best thing comes along

[GimmeTheBall!]

In this season of midcontent and malcontents, when, at last, we are forced to confront the QB future of the Dallas Cowboys, I bring you some names who have actually started games since we last saw Aikman hugging the ground and seeing double.
These names are of the has-been variety. The also-rans. The could-be's. The wanna-be's and ones with potential and the projects.
Let's take a trip down mammary lane. To consider how many QB hands Jerra has shaken and to whom has presented jerseys.
Here is a list of every QB that has started a game since our beloved and sometimes befuddled (concussions) Aikman yelled at his receivers.
I have listed comments after each one. Please join in and offer your comments on the motley crew Barry, Campo, Gailey and Parcells has wrought.

Anthony Wright (A heart like a lion's. Our line was a sieve and poor Anthony kept getting off the turf and continued to throw.)
Randall Cunningham (Mr. Hot and Cold. Mobile. Over the hill)
Quincy Carter (He was smarter than my bran muffin)
Vinnie Testaverde (He was old. Old. So old he had a Burma Shave endorsement in the 1950s.)
Chad Hutchinson (A bust. Parcells did not like him.)
Clint Stoerner (The lad never got the reps he needed. Thus he was doomed to failure.)
Drew Henson (Never got the reps. Never got the chance. Never impressed Parcells. Had this kid been from New Jersey, he'd be our starter right now.)
Drew Bledsoe (over the hill. Ran hot and cold. He could thrill you and then break your heart with an errant throw. A Parcells guy. But not for long now that he will be pouting)
Tony Romo (The future is now. A Parcells guy. His finest hour was in Illinois. There will be more Don Roach jerseys being worn in the future than Romo's. But he's not a sitting duck like Bleedsoe.)

Thats why he is lighting up the NFL right now right? It was where he was born.

The entire league apparently hates people who aren't from New Jersey.

Bizarre regionalism.

I have to admit there is some good sig material in here.

If ROMO takes us to the Super Bowl.....oh....what a story!

Interesting that your harshest criticism is for Carter, the guy we had the most success with and your kindest words are for the guys who are the least talented. I said from the first about Henson. John Gruden gave Akili Smith a workout, but not Henson. Gruden had a sit down with Carter,but had no interest in Henson, drafted Bruce Gradkowski and Henson is available now with no hint of any off the field problems and he thin at qb, but still no interest in Henson. No one is talking to Carter because of the drug fear, but they aren't talking to Henson because he flat out can't play.

We didn't steal Henson from the Texans and we didn't steal him from the rest of the NFL, he didn't get a single offer from the 19 teams that watched his workout, not even us. Houston called us and lowered their asking price because they were stuck with him. Even after the Ron Wolf story came out last week, you still believe that Henson got a raw deal here when indeed Henson's arrival here signaled the end of this teams playoff appearances for a long time. I researched everywhere for info on this guy and never found anyone anywhere that thought he could play. You pine for a guy who never did anything good on the field and mock the one guy we've had since Aikman to get us to the playoffs.Pathetic.

I don't see that it matters. Neither Carter nor Henson are on an NFL roster. Both are chalked up to my memories in the manner of Laufenberg and Pelleur. Never coulda beens.

Yes. Interesting.

Actually, them two are very low on my list as far as production. One just did not get the chance. I think both are on the same level, actually.
It is just that one got the chance and, for a brief, shining moment was one of the "greats" and the other did not get a chance. Both are doing Jack right now.

If I can work up some guilt i.e. Carter I will post another response.
Thanks for the critique. Interesting.
