I respect his decision to do that in Dallas.

But...

Wasn't he the head coach in New York when the Giants has Lawrence Taylor?

Well, I agree with that completely.

I am talking more of consistancy.

You know as well as I do that if Quincy had been able to play football as well at LT he wouldnt have been cut.  It should be about consistency but they cant afford to be consistent in today's salary cap driven NFL.  The better a player is the more leniency he gets in regards to violations.

Exactly, that was my point.  While I applaud him for cutting Carter and maybe knocking some sense into him he is hypocritical for making a big deal of it.

Cutting Carter took a little bit of guts.  If he was really gutsy he would have taken LT down a peg.

Yes he was but if memory serves me when he was my beloved NYG head coach wellington Mara and George Young made all the key decisions in firing, hiring etc.  Also I dont think his drug problem was made public when he was still wearing blue.

i believe one of Parcells demands since he was with the 'cough' jets, was to have total control with making management decisions.  This he has with Dallas Jerry Jones finally got smart.

I don't recall any LT issues while he was playing... except maybe for his final year.  It seems his issues came into the media spotlight after he quit.

I must say... this almost makes the Cowboys a likeable team again.  They haven't been anywhere near that since 81.

Carter recently violated the NFL's substance-abuse policy for the second time and would have been fined four game checks totaling $107,060 - but would not have been suspended - three sources told the Dallas Morning News. A third violation would have resulted in a four-game suspension, according to the league's substance-abuse policy. FOXSports.com reported that Carter tested positive for cocaine.


I say good riddance to Crackhead Carter.

Quincy was a no good coke sniffing, weed smoking sack of watermelon when he was here at the University of Georgia.  He didnt complete his commitment to us, be/c he "injured his shoulder".  When in fact he was involved with some very unsavory characters including Jasper Sanks who in turn was busted for dealing narcotics.  Coach simply let him go to avoid NCAA repercussions. Or simply put you can take a negro out the ghetto, but you cant take the ghetto out of the negro.

Plenty of them do, my point being look at how many black athletes are arrested for spousal abuse, drug charges, rape, murder, DUI.  In black "culture" it's cool the be the "thug" the "playa", "pimp", "hustler" you name it.  It isnt about the love of the sport its how many Ho's or how much bling you got.  Spinner wheels on Escalades..........started by athletes/rappers....tv's in cars.....ditto.

With who Dallas has setting in the wings...Glad carter is gone. Tuna has no problems firing anyone. If I remember right..Which I may not..His hands were tied more in NEw York than they are in dallas.

To Bad ..Cause Carter HAD potential.

Picture the most experienced quarterback in the league tutoring Chad Huchinson. The Boys have got a good looking team. No disrespect to Joe Gibbs, but the Skins will get slaughtered by Dallas...twice.

If they released Carter because of a failed drug test,then the Cowboys violated league policy and will end up paying Carter and/or a big fine to the league.

The fact is that the better players will always get more leniency. Some watermelon player may be cut for missing a practice, but would you expect somone like Joe Montanna to be cut for the same offence?

It's not about consistancy and it never will be.

Yea?
I am not even close to being a Dallas Fan.
In fact I hate em.
But I'll bet you if the Cowboys miss the playoffs this year it wont be by much.
they will anything but..suck.

Being here in Jersey No Im not a Giants ort Jets fan either.(Hate them too) But I've gotten to see ALOT of Parcells.
The Man can flat out coach
There probably isnt a better coach in football right now Bar none.

Probably the best since Walsh and Lombardi. But probably closer to Lombardi. they Both have/had that unique quality of getting players to play better then they are.
Coaches like parcells can make bad players play good And good players play great.

Trust me. the Cowgirls will do just fine this year . Dont place too many bets against them.
