| Biography: |
PRO: After being selected with the Cowboys top selection (53rd overall) in the 2001 NFL Draft, Quincy Carter's professional football career moved quickly. Midway through Carter's first training camp, he was handed the reigns of the Cowboys offense and became just the third rookie in franchise history to open the season at quarterback - Troy Aikman (1989) and Roger Staubach (1969) - and only the sixth rookie quarterback to ever start a game for Dallas - Don Meredith (one start in 1960), Roger Staubach (one in 1969), Kevin Sweeney (two in 1987), Aikman (11 in 1989) and Steve Walsh (five in 1989). Carter exhibited a strong arm, intelligence and athletic ability during his rookie season, despite missing eight games due to injury. These characteristics allowed him to start the 2002 season as the franchise's starting signal caller, leading the team to a 3-4 record before losing the starting job midway through the season to Chad Hutchinson. Carter was named to the first team during training camp for the entire 2003 season and now owns a career record of 16-15 in 31 regular season starts as the Cowboys' starter.
2003: Carter became just the sixth quarterback in team history to lead his team to 10 or more wins in helping lead the Cowboys back to the playoffs for the first time since the 1998 season. Completed 292-of-505 (57%) passes for 3302 yards with 17 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.
2002: Carter kicked off his sophomore campaign at the helm of the Cowboys offense, but surrendered the reigns to Hutchinson midway through the season. In leading the team for the first seven games on the season, Carter completed 125-of-221 passes for 1,465 yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions. In the process, he threw for at least 200 yards in six consecutive games, marking the longest such streak by a Cowboys signal caller since Aikman accomplished the feat in the first six games of the 1993 season. Carter also completed more than 20 passes in three straight games - the first time a Dallas quarterback has done so since Aikman in Weeks 8-12 of 1996 - and attempted 35-or-more passes in three straight games - the first time a Cowboys quarterback has done so since Aikman in Weeks 10-12 of the 1996 season.
2001: After being named the starter midway through training camp (Aug. 14), Carter became the first rookie to start the season at quarterback for the Cowboys since Aikman in 1989. Although injuries limited Carter through the first 10 games of the season, he made outstanding progress in his development, and finished the year in very impressive - and productive - fashion. Carter's final quarterback rating of 63.0 ranked ahead of fellow rookie quarterbacks Michael Vick (Atlanta - 62.7) and Chris Weinke (Carolina - 62.0), who also started games. Detroit's Mike McMahon (69.9) was the only rookie with at least one start to finish the season with a higher quarterback rating than Carter. For the year, Carter completed 90-of-176 pass attempts for 1,072 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions while being sacked just 12 times. He also ran the ball 45 times for 150 yards. Carter led Dallas to more victories than any other rookie quarterback in club history, and his numbers for pass attempts, completions, yardage and touchdowns ranked third at the time among Dallas rookies - trailing Aikman and Walsh.
