[Noodle Arm]

Who's going to start for them this year? Vinny? Is Henson ready? (highly doubtful)

Cowboys | Carter to be Released - from www.KFFL.com

Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports the Dallas Cowboys will release QB Quincy Carter.

 

[Noodle Arm]

So yeah...should we pick him up? :tongue:

 

[DOLFANMIKE]

If he was playing for Wanny he would have had three more years to prove himself. Nice to see a Coach that is not afraid to let go of a quarterback once you realize he's not leading you anywhere.

Yet another swipe at the coaching staff. Seems you'll find a way to make that agenda on any post. So how exactly has the Quincy Carter situation related to our coaching staff? If your point is that we should have gotten rid of Fiedler, who exactly would you have replaced him with that could have done better? Fiedler has one of the higher winning % in the league right now.

 

[nyfinzfan]

Trade them Fiedler NOW!!!!

didn't see that coming

We don't know why he's being released #1. Also, do you think it's wise to go to battle with Testeverde, with HENSON (four years removed from playing) backing him up??

 

[BlueFin]

Quick..........Rick, get on the phone to Parcells and offer them Fiedler............

 

[SkapePhin]

Im hearing that it was because of SUBSTANCE ABUSE. Hitting the bong with Ricky, Quincy?

Nope, not at all. This isnt as bad as Ricky, but i think its a terrible move. Fine the kid or something, not release him. I thot the Cowboys would make a fight for the playoffs this year, no im not so sure. It all depends if Vinny gets back to his old self.
