Sorry 5 Stars, I'll stick with the Q as the worst ever simply because we wasted too much time screwing around with him. He should have been cast aside much sooner.

Don't get me wrong, I realize we've had a few miserable Stars over the past 40 years, but in almost all cases we got rid of them quickly and moved on. Septein was an exception as I belive he was around for about 7 years, but as soon as he was convicted of his perverted ways he was given the boot.

Q was the worst.

Peuller and Hogeboom both played in Dallas longer. They weren't picked as high, but that isn't Carter's fault that is Jerry's. He was projected as a 4th rounder and that is where should have waited to pick him.

The worst person? Not necessarily the worst player. I would have to say Rafael Septien (pedophile) followed by, Dwayne Goodrich (hit and run, killed a couple of people and drove off), then by Thomas Henderson.

If you've never read Henderson's book, "Out Of Control" I highly recommend it. I have an autographed copy and have read it several times. The guy was definitely out of control but has gotten his life turned around now.

Septien was probably the best kicker (I still like Mike Clark better though) we ever had but I believe that convicted pedophiles should be executed. Goodrich was plain scum.

As bad as Henderson was, he will always be one of my favorites just because of how he turned his life around...

Plus, he was a bad MOFO on the field...

It should be a required read for any player of today...

Q was a waste as our fisrt sellection, but so were....

Sonny Gibbs
Scott Appleton
Phil Clark
Dennis Homan
Robert Shaw
Bill Roe
Howard Richards
Rod Hill
Billy Cannon
Danny Noonan
Sherman Williams
Pittman and ekuban

Just to name some first selection busts for the Cowboys. I'd hardly say any one was worse than another. Q was a 2nd rounder and the majority of the above busts were #1's.

:lmao2: :lmao: :laugh2: You're right, I stand corrected. Another doozy was his famous scrambling slides that always ended up about 2 feet from the first down marker.

That really did not happen as frequently as many say. He had a memorable one against the Rams in 2002. I think it was Cris Collingsworth who was announcing and saying it was a poor effort. He was second to Culpepper in running for 1st downs for QBs in 2003. His faults were all in the passing game and those were mostly on decision making. Poor choices especially when under pressure. Not even great pressure. Similar to his life. When the pressure is on, he makes poor decisions.

L A R G E! Hollywood Henderson was simply awesome on the field. I too admire greatly how he climbed out of the dark, deep hole he had fallen into.

Why do Cowboys fans hate Ryan Leaf? He was a small comma in the great history of Dallas football. He is on par with Tony Banks. He is in the history, but easily forgettable. What did he do in Dallas to earn hate? Everything he did was while in San Diego or possibly even Tampa. If it weren't for injuries to Quincy Carter and Anthony Wright and an implosion by Clint Stoerner, Leaf would not even have played a down in Dallas. As is, he barely played on a horrible team. I don't like Leaf, but he was a non-factor in Dallas. To hate him is to hate the whole 2001 team and that I can understand. They were bad.

Leaf is the easy answer for those who don't properly consider the question. The worst I've seen as far as pure ineptness was Babe Laufenberg. Stoerner was pretty awful too.

Quincy Carter...bar none. The fact that we traded up to acquire this worthless dunderhead still remains JJ's biggest blunder.
What was even more pathetic was the supposed Cowboy fans who defended his piss poor play and crowed how "vastly talented" he was. It seemed as if some were more interested in making excuses for the Q then they were about our won-loss record. I also tired of hearing the lame argument how Q "led us" to the playoffs. That too is a joke. Q was only along for the rider. A stout D and an easy as pie schedule got us to the playoffs. Q made sure we exited in the first round.

Could you imagine a battle of wits with Prophet and kartr?

I would pay good money to see that trainwreck of a thread...

Anyone...? Let's get Prophet and Philo to start a thread titled... "hey kartr... Quincy is the worst QB EVER!!"

Q was the worst.

How long the team spends 'screwing around' with a player is hardly an indicator of how bad the player is. In fact, it probably indicates the opposite. By that logic, Kenyon Rambo was a better player for us than Antonio Bryant; Petitti better than Solomon Page, etc, etc...

There is absolutely no way you can argue that Babe Laufenberg was a better player than Carter.

Better person? Possibly. Loyal man-servant to Troy Aikman? Indeed. Anything other than a horribly over-matched QB? No way.

By far the worst to wear the Silver Star.
Rip the jackey off this man and rob him of his SB ring.​
