Right at the moment of seeing that, CT, I believe our friend COOTR leaned back and searched his room for the camera, wondering, "How'd they do that."

HOLY **** CT! THAT IS FRIGGN HILARIOUS! I cant believe I missed those pics on this thread yesterday... That top pick most definitely will be a future rank pic for the invading COOTRs.

<blockquote>quote:<hr />Originally posted by Art: It's far more interesting in Dallas where Jones continues to bring in players to unseat his failed draft pick in Quincy Carter. How long until he's benched and ultimately cut do you think? Too bad he took a paycheck though, else he could go back to Georgia to try out for defensive back or something instead of playing behind someone at QB. See, Q, that's a whole 'nother pony.[/QB]<hr /></blockquote>So far you have touted your football knowledgew without backing it up. I thought you made some progress with you admission in doubt of Sage and Weurfel, but then you ignorance shines through once again. Quincy Carter in 6 games made drastic improvements. As expected he played like a rookie against Tampa bay week 1( 9-of-19 passes for 31 yards) got injured and did not start until week 4 against Qakland where he got injured during the 2nd qtr. Quincy's Hamstring injury kept him down and in the playbooks until week 6. Quincy carter returned to the starting line-up against a resurgent Redskins team coming of a 5 game winning streak. In a hostile environment Quincy Carter fed of Emmitts running to post 7-of-14 passing for 125 yards 1TD 1INT and led our team to a victory. His first career TD beating Champ Bailey with a 80 yard bomb to Ismail. Impressive but his stats against your team where still somewhat average. The next week Quincy improved once again to lead the boys over the Giants with 17-26 194 yards 1TD. In a loss against Seattle the next week he posted 14-33 135 yards 0TD 0INT. Dallas also lost to Arizona th e following week. I was unable to find the stats. Quincy carter bounced back to earn Week 15 NFL offensive player of the Week honors after torching the playoff bound 49ers 15-25 294 yards 2TDS OINTs and posted a 118.9 QB rating. The last game in Detroit Quincy posted 11-26 158 yards OTD OINT and a 146.6 Qb rating. Quincy showed improvement and flashes over the saeason. Rookies QBs are never consistent unless your Dan Marino. In the Skins,Giants and 49ers game Quincy showed big time QB skills. Now ART if you are a objective football fan you will realize based on Quincy's performance and progress he deserves to enter camp as the starter. Once again your lack of knowledge about Dallas Qbs shows when you state Jerry shows lack of confidence in Carter by signing Hutchinson. THERE IS PRECEDENCE In 1989 Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson drafted Troy Aikman. They also drafted Steve Walsh in the supplementary draft. Steve Walsh was a big time collegiate QB at Miami having won a Championship. Does that mean Jimmy and Jerry lacked confidence in Troy and deemed him a bust pick Do not put all your eggs in 1 basket. The Redskins drafted Heath Shuler in the 1st and solidified the position by selecting Gus Frerotte in the 7th. As the saying goes do not put all your eggs in 1 basket. Shuler was a bust and you 7th round production from GUs.

Actually Qcard in that last game he went 11 for 26 for 158 yds with 1 int. Q.B. rating of 46.6% <a href="http://www.nfl.com/players/gamelogs/235201_gamelog.htm" target="_blank">http://www.nfl.com/players/gamelogs/235201_gamelog.htm</a> The Arizona game is there as well.

Barney B · April 7, 2002

Of course, when you're high on crack, 10-22 looks a lot like 102-2. So really, the only thing standing between the Cowboys and greatness is another big hit on the pipe!

CounterTre · April 7, 2002

Hehe Blade I'm just gettin warmed up, glad you guys all like em. I've got tons of good ones but one in particular I'm reserving for an immature idiot worthy of it. No doubt it will be a Puke fan, they are by far the dumbest. Eagle fans would have to be the most annoying though, with the Skyrat fans a close second. Cowboy fans crack me up because they are just so damn dumb, and can't seem to do anything but argue ancient history. It'd be like us going around talking about being one of the 2 best teams for all of the 80's. Yea that was a great era, but what the hell does it have to do with the present?

Yomar · April 7, 2002

This thread is so long, no way I could absorb it all, so getting back to the original post: "Am I ready for the Cowboys to win their 10th and 11th straight games against the Cowboys?" After some soul searching, I have decided that no, I am not ready. However I am ready for the Cowboys to enjoy at least another half decade of futility. They haven't been much good since the Panthers came into the NFL and they will continue to suffer losing records as long as Jerry "The Front Office" Jones continues to re-define ineptitude. The Redskins are a team on the rise, the Cowboys are a team that has fallen and so far have been unable to even contemplate getting back to the top. Joey Galloway for two 1st round picks? Thats good stuff.

So instead of magnifying my simple mistake lets talk football. What do you have to contribute?

PCS · April 7, 2002

Qcard, my apologies. That was an inside joke for the residents of this board. As for contribution? Ok. I'm in. Look at that link for second. Quincy Started 8 games but only played 6 full ones. Injuries. His rookie year and he gives the impression of being injury prone. This is not what you would want out of the man playing in arguably the most important job on the team. Okay, he's a rookie. He's inconsistent. However, Just when he was showing improvement and had a good game or 2, the very next game he was bad. The last game is a good example. Before the Niners game, Campo and Jones both stated,(I'll find the quote somewhere), that they could not commit to Quincy as starting Q.B. for the long term. Good game followed by bad game followed by Jones saying Quincy is still the starter, ater signing another guy.. That remains to be seen. Does he deserve to be named starter as of now? Considering who is behind him at this time, maybe no choice. Do I think so? No. He played well against 2 highly ranked defenses. Bad against 3 out of the 4 of the worst pass defenses in the league. Arizona, Detroit and Seattle. These are the games he needed to play well in. If anything, though just a rookie, this should have helped his consistency. If he can play well in games he may not be expected to do so, he should definately play well in those he is expected too. And as i stated before, his only playing in 6 full games during the season is also reason for concern.

QCard, you're back. I'm so pleased. Reply within.... "So far you have touted your football knowledgew without backing it up." In fact, I've claimed no football knowledge of any sort. I understand your confusion being so confounded by the simple fact that 10-22 is still 10-22 regardless of nine straight, but, at no point have I claimed any knowledge at all. As it happens, you've made the proper leap that I might have a clue about the game of football so, I won't snap you back too hard for this revelation. "I thought you made some progress with you admission in doubt of Sage and Weurfel, but then you ignorance shines through once again. Quincy Carter in 6 games made drastic improvements." On Sage and Wuerffel I'm among the more pessimistic of Redskin fans. I believe it will be awfully difficult for a team to overcome this type of talent at the QB position. Something you well understand and can empathize with, as you have similar talent at your projected starting position in Quincy Carter. When you talk to me about Carter, and you reference his, "improvements" over six games, I wonder what you are talking about. Carter may not have spiked himself the entire year, but, he hardly was an overwhelming, improving performer. He had two very nice games as a pro. In victories against the Giants and against the Niners, he looked pretty good. But, two games does not a season, or an improvement make. Carter was something below even Tony Banks in the rest of his season. Though, Banks had five good games in 14 starts. No matter though. The reason Dallas has attempted to get bodies at the QB position is because it is hedging bets on Carter's future success. Dallas management realizes what you seem unable to grasp. Carter's two good games were bracketed around games in which he had QB ratings of 76.5 (ok, but not great), 41.9, 58, and 46.6. This wasn't improving. His two good games games were a blind squirrel finding an acorn. "As expected he played like a rookie against Tampa bay week 1( 9-of-19 passes for 31 yards) got injured and did not start until week 4 against Qakland where he got injured during the 2nd qtr.

His first career TD beating Champ Bailey with a 80 yard bomb to Ismail. Impressive but his stats against your team where still somewhat average." Do you know something? Heath Shuler had a couple of good games too as a QB in this league. My sister once dated a Boston Celtic too. Hitting an 80-yard bomb among one of your 14 throws tells you that the Cowboys were scared to death of having Carter lose the game for them, so they played very close to the vest and took a shot when the opportunity to take a shot was available. Wow. I think Vanilla Ice had a hit song once too. "The next week Quincy improved once again to lead the boys over the Giants with 17-26 194 yards 1TD.

Rookies QBs are never consistent unless your Dan Marino." QCard, in your career retrospective of Carter, you forgot a couple of things. First, the obvious error which has already been pointed out. Second, that in these great six games you speak of, Carter threw for over 200 yards ONCE. Even Tony Banks in the most inept offense in football hit for five games of 200 or more yards in his 14 starts. To do simple math, it tells me that cater would have needed 30 starts to accomplish the same excellence of our wretched Mr. Banks. Way to go Q. Carter may ultimately be a player in this league. But, no one in Dallas is convinced of that which is why they have gone to lenghts to have competition around the spot in the hope that if Carter can't take charge, someone else can. This is smart football leadership by Jones. Some people would criticize him asking how many QBs does he need, but, it is clear he sees what most see about Carter. He isn't the guy yet, and Jerry is going to hedge his bets. "In the Skins,Giants and 49ers game Quincy showed big time QB skills." An 80 yard lollipop to an open receiver in the Redskins game is not a display of "big-time QB skills". Big time skills are when you win a game because of your play. Perhaps the Niners game was that. Otherwise, Carter showed the type of skills that made him an iffy bet at Georgia. He was inconsistent and unsure and while he could make a good throw once, he could make a bad throw twice and not knowing when the stars would align and allow him a good game, the Cowboys have properly secured their bet. "Now ART if you are a objective football fan you will realize based on Quincy's performance and progress he deserves to enter camp as the starter." Of course he deserves to enter the camp as the starter. This isn't Georgia where you have a guy behind him who might be better right away. Dallas has no proven QBs, despite QBs with physical ability. Carter is the best of your lot and your lot is substantially as questionable as our lot. It's just you paid a lot of your lot and we didn't. "Once again your lack of knowledge about Dallas Qbs shows when you state Jerry shows lack of confidence in Carter by signing Hutchinson. THERE IS PRECEDENCE In 1989 Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson drafted Troy Aikman. They also drafted Steve Walsh in the supplementary draft. Steve Walsh was a big time collegiate QB at Miami having won a Championship. Does that mean Jimmy and Jerry lacked confidence in Troy and deemed him a bust pick Do not put all your eggs in 1 basket." Right. And if Aikman had faltered, Walsh may have been able to step in, though history suggests otherwise. I've no problem with hedging one's bets. It's smart football. But, it also displays a lack of confidence that your first choice may be the right choice. Jerry has protected himself against that failure though, his protections may fail too. "The Redskins drafted Heath Shuler in the 1st and solidified the position by selecting Gus Frerotte in the 7th. As the saying goes do not put all your eggs in 1 basket. Shuler was a bust and you 7th round production from GUs." Again, good. I'm not critical of the move to solidify one's quarterback position when you don't know how the top guy will fare. It's smart football management. But, Shuler had questions coming out. You didn't see the Colts hedging their bets with Manning, did you? When you have the right guy, he shows you that pretty quick. Protecting against that failure is bright and smart. But, it also shows you aren't sure about your pick. Some guys can take competition. Others can not. Look at Brad Johnson. If he has no competition, he rocks. If he does, he's looking over his shoulder. Quincy Carter is a young player and he may take the heat fine. He may continue to be inconsistent and continue to only show flashes enough to be a part-time player at the position, like Ray Lucas. He may be great. But, no one can say he's been anything other than a very less than average player to this point. Two big games does not make it different. It just shows that if he's on, he can do OK. He just hasn't always been on a lot as a player.

Gamebreaker · April 7, 2002

You keep harping on Carter's 80 yard pass that beat Champ Bailey. Yet I've watched a few Cowboys games last season, and he couldn't accurately pass the ball to his recievers without them having to adjust to his badly thrown pass. Your recievers lost their chance of YAC because Carter's poor passes, wasn't Rocket even hurt trying to catch a pass thrown behind him? Or was that someone else?

I agree Quincy Carter has not seperated himself from the likes of Ray Lucas, Rick Mirer or any other QB whose has shown flashes but have been inconsisitent. I am a Quincy Carter supporter, but if he does not have what it takes to lead this team then he can ride the bench. I look forward to sparing with you and other extremists as the offseason and season develops. What is your take on your team acquiring Jeremiah Trotter. I believe Dallas is 1 up on you guys this season by signing Glover. I just hope Danny does not whip out the wallet and smothers Trotter because it would even the offseason signings. The Redskins were already a better team than Dallas going into the offseason, that is nucleus wise.

Die Hard · April 7, 2002

QCard - Glover was indeed a good signing for the Boys. Especially at a position of need. But I think the signing up Spurrier and Marvin Lewis helped offset it <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" />

Art · April 7, 2002

QCard, I think the Glover signing was a very fine one for you. He's certainly a nice player though, one would question whether he'll be suitable without a big boned partner like Hand. As Die Hard pointed out though, the Redskins are a team with, at this point, approximately the same talent to play with, but a coaching staff that is unlikely to believe the forward pass is some fancy magic not to be dabbled with, and a defense that has a coordinator of some ability. You see, to me, there's no question that football is the one sport in which coaching absolutely matters on game day. I'm confident heading into the season that our offseason moves have so solidified our game day ability that we'll be better for it. To put it finely, I'd take Spurrier and Lewis over Glover. And the Redskins have done a very capable job at present in filling weak spots on the roster with capable players. There's a little more to do, but, given the start we've made and the staff we've put together, we're confident. I can't really speak about Trotter. I believe he's an exceptional player and I've been hyping him for months as a potential addition. At this point in free agency that would seem less likely because we had a plan and moved forward with it and I'm not sure Trotter is the type of player we will discard the plan for. I believe it is a fun fantasy to discuss the possibility of Trotter in the middle of our superior linebacking corp, but, that fantasy is just a diversion from the reality of Kevin Mitchell. But, I hear players hold Marvin Lewis in high esteem, and perhaps the ability to stick it to Philly might just inspire Trotter to visit a division opponent down 95. We shall see.
