Remember Quincy Carter?

Yeah, the guy Jerry Jones fell in love with a few years ago?

Apparently the Miami Dolphins aren’t happy with the quarterbacks they have in camp. The Palm Beach Post and other publications are reporting that they are working out the 30-year-old Carter, who has been out of the league since 2004.

Coach Tony Sparano told the paper it doesn’t mean he’s unhappy with John Beck, Chad Henne and Josh McCown (and why would he be unhappy with that trio of current and future stars?). How does Carter, whose previous stints include failure in the Canadian Football League and struggles with drugs – both during and after his NFL years – warrant another NFL shot when guys like Byron Leftwich and Daunte Culpepper are without jobs? Just curious.

Not that guys who struggle with drugs don’t deserve a second chance – they do. The bigger issue, in my eyes, is that when he played before – drugged or not – he was a mediocre NFL quarterback … at best.
