As we see it, whatever favor ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli was repaying when he suggested that former Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter might have a shot at getting back to the NFL must have been a huge one.

On Friday, Len wrote that at least one team is "considering" bringing Carter in for a workout. If that's true, the owner of said team should be "considering" firing the G.M.

For starters, Carter couldn't even make it in the CFL, and couldn't land a job in the Arena Football League. Instead, he's been relegated to the AFL's B-level cousin, and he's not exactly tearing things up there.

An af2 source (hey, we've got sources at every level of the sport) tells us that Carter is playing "okay" by af2 standards. And he's coming off of a one-month suspension for "missing team meetings and a practice," and all that that might imply to folks who are inclined to try to read between the lines, correctly or otherwise, if they so choose to try to do so.

Carter's numbers are good but not great -- in eight games (through Friday night), he has thrown for 2,190 yards, with 48 touchdowns and six picks. And, as the source explained, Friday night's loss to the Amarillo Dusters showed that Carter still doesn't have the maturity necessary to succeed in the NFL.

On fourth and goal from the Amarillo one-foot line in the fourth quarter of a tight game in which Carter's Bossier-Shreveport Battlewings held the lead, Carter tried to dive over the pile. He was denied. Carter then went bonkos, spiking the ball and then throwing his helmet.

The result? Two penalty flags, giving the Dusters the ball not on their own one-inch line but at their 21 yard line. Two plays later, the Dusters scored the go-ahead touchdown. Game over for the Battlewings.

For Carter, the game ended a long time ago.

Carter can take his place next to Drew Henson, Ryan Leaf, Chad Hutchinson and company, as mistakes the Cowboys made in the past decade.

I dont know I still think he could be a backup for someone but a starter he is not..

[Lefty Noob]

If he can't even crack the AFL, there's no way he belongs in the NFL. Any GM that thinks otherwise should be fired on the spot.

Yep, he was, but I seriously doubt he'd be able to go back and find success after all this time.

I never watched him much with Dallas. Was he a head case there too?? How do you go from and NFL starter to barely being in the AFL minors?

[Bette]

Aaagh! NO NO NO My blood pressure shot way up when I read this.


Yes, Carter was a head case in Dallas. Dumber than a doorknob I always told my brother. And THERE IS NO WAY HE WOULD COME BACK TO DALLAS! He maybe had some potential at one time, but his problems pretty much killed it. They did try using him as a back up with the Jets, didnt they? He couldnt do it then and he cant do it now.
Maybe he and Ricky could get together. They could meditate together.

Come now, he wasn't dumb...he was just "confused a lot"...Dumb was Jerry Jones for thinking he was drafting a franchise QB.

NO HE WAS DUMB!

Jones was getting desperate, dumb, but desperate.
