Cowboys

If only he could rebuild the Cowboys like the surgeons rebuilt his face

Way back in August, after watching the Cowboys/Texans scrimmage at UH, I wrote:

3) Quincy Carter does NOT have the velocity. He had better be able to run, because his arm is NOT the real deal.

4) Chad Hutchinson DOES have the velocity. If Carter can't get it done, Dallas has a backup with legit arm strength.

And much more recently, I wrote:

Quincy Carter is a joke as an NFL starting quarterback, which I've been saying since the first game. He just doesn't have the arm strength to make all the throws required in the NFL.

Today, the Cowboys came to the same conclusion after the latest disastrous performance and decided to bench Quincy Carter and give Chad Hutchinson a chance.

That's not enough to fix all the problems with the Cowboys (general manager/owner, head coach, offensive line, special teams), but it's a start at least. Hutchinson needs to play, because he is the only quarterback on the roster with any arm strength, and he is trained in the West Coast offense. It can't be any worse than that last game, which Cowboys commentator Babe Laufenberg referred to as "vomit" at one point.
