Did you watch the last 5 minutes of the Cowboys game? Wow... Despite his stellar perfomance in the waning minutes of today's game, a lot f my fellow Cowboys fans are calling for Quincy Carter to be benched in favor of Chad Hutchison. I have two points.

1. Hutchison would be worse. Carter makes rookie mistakes. Hutchison hasn't played at even the college level for three years so he is worse than a rookie. Hutchison's mind wouldn't be quick enough to make the reads at NFL game speed. Also, Hutchison would get drilled since he isn't athletic enough to escape the rush. Our porous offensive line would leak 300 pound lineman like a very large weighty sieve and Hutchison would quickly be curled in a fetal position on the nice shiny new carpet Jerry put in.
   
2. Getting rid of Quincy would put us in the same territory as Cincinnati.We've invested the better part of two years in Q and we'd lose that by dumping him. Quarterbacks really don't develop till after playing for two years. Cincinnati is bad and will remain bad because they don't have the patience to invest the necessary time in a quarterback.Well, that, and they did a poor job of scouting their draft picks. The Cowboys are better of with Quincy now even if he never becomes better than mediocre than we are starting Hutchison and getting set back another two years. Mediocre quarterbacks win a lot of games. Besides Quincy Carter's physical talent means that he'll either be spectacularly bad or he'll be really good.
   

All that Quincy Carter has done is bring the Cowboys back to win games in the final 2 minutes twice this year and thrown for 200+ yards 6 times in a row. That looks pretty good to me.
