Quincy Carter Not At Morning Practice

Cowboys starting quarterback Quincy Carter is not at Wednesday's morning practice here at training camp in Oxnard, Calif., and witnesses say they saw him being driven out of the Residence Inn parking just before the start of practice. The club is not commenting on Carter's absence, but obviously will address the matter at head coach Bill Parcells' daily press conference, carried live on DallasCowboys.com at 11:30 (PDT).

Just out of curiosity...Are there any more "decent" QB prospects out there still?

Are any teams looking to unload a QB via trade for a possible RB (George as trade bait) or a WR(Bryant)?

Jay Feidler for George:laugh:

I caught that, too. Strange. I was also just listening to 980 in my car and the Dallas reported was saying Quncy had the leg up over Testaverde... weird...

I am curious if something happened with him?? Remember they have already released Hutch so why would Parcells just want to have Vinny and Drew only on the roster. We will find out later. Unless this is a message from Parcells to Jerry :D

One day you are starting QB for America's Team, The Dallas Cowboys and the next day you are out on the street. Life is a

B_ _ _ _, and then you get a lucky break.

Getting away from the cowpies will be the best thing that ever happened to Quincy.

whats' puzzling about this is yesterday on 980 the mike and mike show had a clip from carter saying he confidence was up and he considered himself the starter until parcells said otherwise , he also stated that with his confidence up he knew from talking to other players on the team that there confidence was up and were behind him. he said he never felt better about himself :rolleyes:

so what really give 's here ??? :cool:

Honestly I don't see how this move makes any sense for the Cowboys. It seems The even if BP wanted Testaverde to start it would have been good to keep QC as an insurance policy. I suppose Parcells has earned the right to not be second guesses but I don't like the way he does things and I am glad he is not coaching the skins.

ESPN.com

Quarterback Quincy Carter will be released from the Dallas Cowboys and an official announcement is expected this afternoon.

Carter, a four-year veteran out of Georgia, did not practice with the team Wednesday.

There was no immediate word as to why the Cowboys planned to cut Carter.

Carter, 26, started all 16 games last season, when the Cowboys went 10-6 and got back in the playoffs in head coach Bill Parcells' first year with the club.

Just last week Carter said he expected to be Dallas' starter when the 2004 season opened.

"I wouldn't say it's an open competition," Carter said last Saturday, after the team's first workout. "I'm clearly the starter right now. ... The team knows who their starter is. I'm going to stand firm on that, and I'm going to be their leader."

Indeed, Carter took snaps with the first team when camp opened, and Parcells at first acknowledged that his '03 starter had the advantage.

"He has a leg up on pretty much everybody because he was the guy that played the best and started last year," Parcells told The Associated Press last week. "Obviously I have that in mind. He is in a good position to be improved. And that is what I'm looking for."

However, Parcells has also maintained that no one -- not incumbent, not former stars like Vinny Testaverde -- is a given in the position. Former New York Yankees player Drew Henson is also competing for the starting spot.

After last season, Parcells gave Carter a list of some things he wanted the quarterback to do during the offseason. Among them was to add muscle, work on certain mechanics and footwork and get better throwing on the run to cut down his high interception total.

Carter added four pounds of muscle, getting to 219 pounds. He's a long way from the pudgy-looking 223-pounder he was when the coach arrived.

Despite the obvious changes, however, it would take time to see if Carter improved on the field the way Parcells expected.

In his first season as the full-time starter -- after splitting the first two seasons with Chad Hutchinson -- Carter threw for 3,302 yards, but had 21 interceptions and 17 touchdowns. He was intercepted at least twice six times.

Thirteen of those interceptions came when he got outside the pocket after a play had broken down.

Carter was a chosen by Dallas in the second round of the 2001 draft.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
