Former Cowboys QB Carter gets look in Miami

DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins drew another name from the past of Bill Parcells on Thursday, working out former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter.

But Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said the workout is merely an evaluation of Carter, an arena league quarterback who started for the Cowboys and New York Jets before poor play and drug-related arrests ended his NFL career.

"We're just going to keep turning over, flipping over stones and bringing in a lot of people," Sparano said. "And it probably won't change for two to three years. Quincy is here and we will have a workout with Quincy."

Sparano said he's been pleased with all three quarterbacks currently on the roster -- Josh McCown, John Beck and rookie Chad Henne -- and Carter's workout is not a sign the team wants to move away from them.

"I have been pleased with the quarterbacks, and I think the competition is really good," Sparano said. "It just means we have to make sure we're doing our due diligence on what's available."

Carter was dismissed by the Cowboys in 2004 -- a team coached by Parcells, now vice president of football operations for Miami. Carter's understanding of the Dolphins' offense would seem to make him a good fit in Miami, which has struggled to get consistent quarterback play in training camp

Parcells always did like Quincy

now that guy would be the ultimate backup if he didn’t have a drug problem.

Say what you want

I would have taken him over the wasted year with Vinny and the one and a half with Bledsoe.

What?

Vinny had a great year. Know way Quincy could have done that. Didn’t Witten and Keyshawn have 900 yards and T.Glenn had over 1000?

That #38 sure can hit!

What?

There’s no comparison, Vinny knew how to play QB. Quincy could never accomplish what Vinny did in his career. He made some of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen, on and off the field.

Now you might have a valid point with Bledsoe (grrrrr). But Vinny was much better.

He's better than Simms

We are about to give up a draft pick for Chris Simms – who has a worse lifetime QB rating (71.2 vs. 71.7) in about the same amount of time as Quincy. It may not be a smart move. But it is MUCH smarter than giving up a draft pick for an inferior QB.
