Romo was #3 last year, only became #2 while Hutch was injured.

The same Hutch who was sent to NFL Europe because he sucked? Parcells was doing what Jones said until he got fed up with Hutch. Romo would have been the second-string by the end of the year either way. And taking over second-string is still taking over second-string, anyway you look at i:):)

Go to #14 (or search for Romo): http://apps.footballguys.com/03update90.htm

Parcells has pretty much always thought of Romo as ahead of Hutch.

Seems to me I'm the only one in the thread who thinks that. :laugh:

EDIT: On ESPN the guy just said that Parcells is big on Romo and something about him being good... missed it, though.

Actually, I like him, but not as our QB. The problem in the past was...there wasn't anyone better on the team. Now that we have Testaverde and Henson....Carter should be #3 on the chart.

Romo may impress Parcells, but I can't see a guy from Eastern Illinois University being the #1 guy in Dallas. He wasn't that great in college.

BOOG, have you seen his college credentials (or seen him play)? To say he wasn't good in college is quite possibly the biggest overstatement I've ever heard.

I never said he was going to be #1... I said he'll probably be #2. Him being #1 would be just as much of a mistake as Henson starting.

The problem is, Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith and Michael Irvin are retired.

Dallas fans think of themselves as the Yankees of the NFL, that they should be in the super bowl every year. Everyone hates the Cowboys except Cowboy fans, just like the Yankees.

You go up and down, look at the Rams. You have to draft well in the NFL, you can't just buy a team and win. Ask Sneider in Washington, lots of talent, no one to direct them. Sure they have Parcells, now he has to rebuild.

Seeing how My wife went to Eastern Illinois, and we've been to a couple games there where he played, and they play Illinois State here in town......Yes. I have seen him play, and have seen his credentials.

And yes. He didn't impress me while in college.

Actually, I wouldn't be so happy about this, if I were an Eagle fan.:laugh:h:

i rather either a just out of baseball drew henson or still sly but over 40 vinny than quincy carter whom we have seen and has seen us for the past 2 years. i see ur point as far as talent is concerned but i reiterate.. Go Eagles!!!

Another update from DallasCowboys.com

Jerry Jones confirmed that Carter will be released.

But back to the topic of his abilities:

Regardless of how well he did in college, I think he has been far from consistant in the NFL.

He has good days, but many bad days. And personally, I think Dallas would have done even better if he would have been on target more often.

If he was alot more consistant, I think he would be great. But he's still young, and got lots of time to work on it.

As far as Testaverde, I think he's just temp filler. He's there because Dallas has no seasoned verteran QB. Simple as that.

I don't see him lasting but a season or two. They needed someone who could step in and work under pressure, and when Aikman retired, they lost that. And Quincy just doesn't have that.

Maybe Irvin is still hanging around Cowboys camp after all then eh? Once a Cowboy, always a Cowboy.

:huh:

Try to stay on topic, instead of trying to incite team bashing. Your comment has nothing to do with this topic. If Eagle and Cowboy fans can get along fine in this forum, you can too.

I must say that I am not shocked at all that Carter got cut. He wasn't going to take the 'Boys anywhere. I don't believe that Testeverde is the answer. I can honestly see Dallas making a big move to get a new starter. I know that Henson has potential but the 'Boys need a QB now and fact be known Testeverde is past his prime. Pending how well the whole Eli Manning thing goes I wouldn't count Warrener out of being in Dallas.

To get a new starter? Fat chance, I think.

I think with the acquisitions of Keyshawn and Eddie that the Cowboy's will feel that nows there time to make a move. I expect pressure from the upper brass and if Vinnie doesn't win then there will be a quick move. Just my opinion though. Feel free to disagree.

Yes, but neither of those were exactly a secret. Plus Parcells has said he's pretty much sticking with these guys... I'll take his word on it. :) Jones is the upper brass, and he doesn't exactly want to go out and get any more QBs, either, from what he's saying.

No one told him to take illegal substances :whistle:

Plus, he's too full of himself when he stated he was GOING to be the starter because he was the best quarterback the team had. If he wouldn't be too full of himself, he wouldn't take substances.

Get him out of there!

    • Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more

      Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display.

This week, ASUS revealed a new version of the device to celebrate twenty years of its Republic of Gamers brand. The new ROG Xbox Ally X20 features an OLED display, a transforming D-Pad, TMR sticks, and other changes. However, the chip inside the console is still the same. Forza Horizon 6 launched last month to critical acclaim, but the game will soon have a new rival made by those who used to work on Forza Horizon titles. Mike Brown from Maverick Games announced Clutch, an upcoming racing game with a story-driven campaign, deep car customization, and rich multiplayer.

      "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      Uh, after intense testing now, 'Samsung Browser' is not the best one outside of 'Microsoft Edge' after all. Opera Air is that. It has "some" bloat, but it's far less than what both Microsoft Edge and Brave browser have.
