Quincy Cut

In case anyone cares ...

Cowboys Stun Camp By Cutting Quincy Carter

The Cowboys made a shocking move here Wednesday morning, cutting starting quarterback Quincy Carter for unspecified reasons. Both Jerry Jones and Bill Parcells would not elaborate why Carter was sent home from Oxnard, Calif. Jones said he was "extremely disappointed" with Parcells adding he could "not risk having him in the plans." The move paves the way for Vinny Testaverde, whom Parcells officially named the team's starting quarterback.

Heather's note: Rumours floating around here say he tested positive for cocaine use.

you are correct, he got cut for testing postive for an illegal substance, on another note TIM BROWN HAS BEEN REALESED FROM THE RAIDERS! GO GET HIM DALLAS!

It definitely is a shock, especially after the year Dallas had last year, and with them adding talent and depth, but any team coached by Parcells will always be ok. The question now is how much Vinny still has in the tank (though his conditioning regime is still pretty incredible). Problem is at his age, and past career history, he is injury prone. May get a chance to see what Drew is made of before the end of the season. You never know. I'm hoping Dallas has another great year, and continues to build upon the work Parcells is doing.

Maybe but they just went from 11-5 possibly to 7-9 if they are lucky.

That all depends on which Vinny shows up. If he shows up and can perform the way he did when he got the Jets to the championship game, Dallas will do well. If he doesn't, then it'll be a long season. Also, how Eddie George performs will also have impact on this season, and the pressure on Vinny. If George can come through, they will be playing Parcells football, splitting carries between George and the other running back (don't know his name), and they will be more of a ball control offense. Plus, even though he's still "ME-shawn Johnson, Vinny is familiar with him at least, and they now have a short yardage and good 3rd down received to add to the speed of the other receivers. What this all means in a nutshell, "Let's sit back and enjoy the show because no one knows what will happen this year."

Carter's release gives NYG and WAS a chance at 2nd in the NFC East and a possible Wild Card spot as well.

It was a possibility even before this because the Giants aren't exactly a horrible team. I don't think there is one weak team in that division, but Quincy getting cut does leave Dallas with an unknown in a veteran quarterback. If nothing else, and no matter who wins, this division is definitely going to be fun to watch, even as the Eagles lose in the Championship Game again ;D

Just how happy is keshawn to be reunited with vinny ;D
he's probably beside himself ;D ...it is pretty ironic the turn of events of what is happening down in dallas. i just can't wait for the season to start.

[shiftypowers]

well, carter fucked up.. he deserved being cut for testing positive... im happy a coach actually has the balls to do something like that... i guess LT was never cuz 1. he was the best LB ever and 2. He didnt test positive........

[Moridin]

he was the best LB ever

Have we forgotton Butkus and Nitschke?

[AcesHigh27]

LT, Butkus and Nitschke definietly all belong on that list, absolutely. I'd like to throw another name onto that list, one you guys might disagree with, but so be it. Jack Lambert, leader of the Pittsburgh "Steel Curtain" Defense.

Wow things really did slow down without Scott here to have a fight with.
