I wonder why?
OXNARD, Calif. – Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter has been released, sources confirmed today.
The Cowboys went 10-6 with Carter starting and got back in the playoffs in Bill Parcells' first year in Dallas. Carter started all 16 games last season and came to camp expecting to be the starter again.
The other quarterbacks in camp are 40-year-old Vinny Testaverde, rookie Drew Henson and unproven second-year player Tony Romo.
In a recent interview with The Dallas Morning News, Carter talked about the pressure of playing quarterback in Dallas.
"I think I understand the pressures of being the Dallas Cowboys' quarterback and trying to meet the expectations," Carter said. "At the end of the day, I have to be Quincy. I can't be Roger Staubach. I can't be Troy Aikman. I can't be Don Meredith, whose number I wear. I can only be me."
Carter, 16-15 as a starter, passed for 3,305 yards with 17 touchdowns and 21 interceptions last season as the Cowboys advanced to the playoffs for the first time since 1999. But he passed for 154 yards and an interception in the playoff loss to Carolina.
"This is a tough city to play for, and they'll love you when you're winning," he said. "But you have to earn it. I got a small taste of that last year, and I want some more."
Damn...the sportscaster down here said that he was outside the hotel crying when he found out. I really liked him and I hope he has a great season somewhere else. The sportscaster said that they're are speculations that it has to be something off the field rather than football- playing skill reasons.

im sorry, i find that man crying a lil amusing. the bad thing is do we have any better options to replace him w/?
Well...I just saw on ESPN that he tested positive for a banned substance before he was released....
Man what the hell is wrong with these atheletes nowadays, particularly the black ones? Ricky Williams on weed, Q Carter on whatever he uses, then all the damn track stars...what's goin down?
Man, I feel so bad. I liked the idea having a black qb.
My homeboy thinks the owner was against having a black quarterback as is, and he made Carter get tested even though he wasn't supposed to, so when he found out he was using whatever substance it was, he immediately cut him. I don't know how accurate that is but the situation does seem suspect as hell, because it wasn't an NFL test that got him, but a team test that wasn't even supposed to happen...hmm
