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.
The Minnesota Vikings’ star

Police said they found a

would qualify as a petty misde

Moss, who has a history of

vS, mm y prosecutor Amy
turn !+ Char Said the CaSe WaS
e r l over to the city for less-
e_ ar §es because there wasn’t
u gh evidence to prove Moss
"tended to hurt the officer.
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.
