ESWE PORTS ^Tbattalion 3B Thursday, September 26, 2002 Carter still the man in ‘Big D’ IRVING, Texas (AP) — The one thing }uincy Carter has been able to count on since oinintz the Dallas Cowboys has been the inconditional support of team owner Jerry ones. Despite evidence that may be chang- ih!. Carter insisted Wednesday he’s as confi- lent as ever. “I’m doing everything I can to help this » a m win,” Carter said. ”1 can’t control any- hing else. Quincy Carter is my biggest com- titor. That’s it.” Jones considered Carter the heir to Troy \ikman the day he drafted him, then sped up is succession plan by making the rookie an peningday starter last season. Injuries limit- id him to a half season, so this week Carter is ireparing for only his 12th career start, gainst St. Louis on Sunday. This season, he’s 1-2, having completed i8-of-89 passes (54 percent) for 572 yards nth two interceptions and two touchdowns, is quarterback rating in 13th in the NFC. Jones questioned Carter’s progress on Tuesday, saying he wasn’t sure “if Quincy evolve into the kind of player and pro- uctive player that some of the mobile quar- erbacks we see are.” Regarding Carter’s fcvelopment, Jones said he was “in the mid- A die between pleased and disappointed. Although Jones added that doubts about Carter led to the signing of Chad Hutchinson, he also said Carter is still the starter. Hutchinson, who spent the last four sea sons playing pro baseball, has yet to take a snap, even in a lopsided loss Sunday to Philadelphia. "I don’t think we can outright say what is going to happen in the future,” coach Dave Campo said. “I feel good (Carter) is making progress. We are going with Quincy.” Carter certainly isn’t the only thing wrong with the Cowboys’ offense. The line hasn’t taken to a new blocking scheme, with injuries further slowing them. That’s led to fewer holes for running back Emmitt Smith and less protection for Carter. “I don’t think we’ve been able to put together the complete package to balance, support Quincy,” Smith said. “It’s not neces sarily all Quincy’s fault.” Offensive coordinator Bruce Coslet also said there are too many factors to blame one person. “The thing that’s wrong with us is we need to stay patient, on an even keel and get guys healthy,” Coslet said. Carter has known from the start that he has one of the most high-profde jobs in pro sports. All he’s asking for is patience while he grows into the job, which is what happened with his Dallas predecessors and other young quarter backs around the league, such as Peyton Manning and Donovan McNabb. “Troy Aikman was given three years. Roger Staubach didn’t start out on fire. 1 don’t think Don Meredith did,” Carter said. “I’m in good company.” Carter has been a target of critics nearly his entire athletic career. “I’ve been able to come in and accept that it’s not going to be easy,” Carter said. “1 look at it as a challenge.” The biggest surprise about Carter this sea son is how seldom he’s run. He has only seven carries for a total of eight yards, with a long of nine. Coslet and Campo have said repeatedly that Carter has permission to whenever he wants. “How many years did it take for Donovan McNabb to become the complete quarterback he is now? Quincy hasn’t even had one full season,” Smith said. “I think he’s making progress and getting better. 1 look for him to keep doing better.” Vikings’ Moss charged with misdemeanors MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Randy Moss walked out of jail whistling, charged with two misdemeanors instead of a pos sible felony for allegedly push ing a traffic officer a half-block with his car.

Moss could get 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine on each of the misdemeanors if con victed. A felony assault convic tion might have meant 21 months in prison. Under NFL rules. Moss will undergo mandatory “evalua tion” because he was charged. Any disciplinary action would follow a conviction or guilty plea. Jerry Hullerman said he was parked near the intersection when he saw Moss driving his car. “I saw a really decked-out Lexus pushing the traffic per son along,” said Hullerman, who was also interviewed by police. “It was really surreal.’’ He said Zaccardi was facing forward while sitting on the front of the car with one hand on the hood and the other hand on her radio as the car pushed her along. After a few seconds, Hullerman said, the man in the car tapped the accelerator and knocked her down. “She fell flat on her face,” Hullerman said, adding that the driver didn’t get out of his car. Hullerman said squad cars arrived seconds later and offi cers took Moss into custody. “(Moss) was going really slow,” said Robert Nelson, another witness. “Apparently, he didn’t want to hurt her. I think he was just trying to frighten her into moving.” The 25-year-old Moss has been in trouble before. He squirted a referee with a water bottle in 1999 — which result ed in a $25,000 fine from the NFL — and verbally abused corporate sponsors on the team bus in 2001. The last infraction resulted in the team fining him $15,000 and forcing him to attend anger management classes. He had a scholarship revoked by Notre Dame in 1995 after being charged with beating up a high school class mate in Rand, W.Va. Moss pleaded guilty to battery and was sentenced to 30 days in jail. He was allowed to defer most of the sentence until after his freshman year in college. He went to Florida State, where he redshirted his fresh man season but was kicked off the team for violating probation by smoking marijua na. That got him a one-year jail sentence, which was reduced to about one month ot time served. Virtually out of chances. Moss walked on at Marshall and quickly became a star. Moss is in his fifth year with the Vikings and is the team’s highest-paid player. He signed an eight-year, $75 million con tract last year. He set an NFL record with 5,396 yards receiving in his first four seasons as a pro and is the only wide receiver with more than 1,000 yards receiv ing in each of his first four seasons. Moss has scored more touchdowns since his 1998 debut than anyone except St. Louis running back Marshall Faulk.
