Cowboys sign Vinny

[KPFC Sports Dept.]

The Cowboys signed Vinny Testaverde to a one year deal (not in the article, but I heard him say that in the press conference).

My $.02:

I have been a big Quincy backer the last couple years because I think he works hard and more importantly, his competition was Chad Hutchison, who is just brutal. Vinny said he would not have signed without a promise at a shot as the starting QB. Quincy did not begin to thrive until the QB competition last year, and I think he is better with a fire lit under him. However, Chad ain't Vinny, even at 40 years old. I think they will battle it out and will be pleased with either one starting, I defer to Parcells on this stuff. But even if Vinny beats out Quincy for the starting job, there is no way a 40 year old quarterback stays healthy for all 16 games and Quincy will be called upon at some point. I think both QB's starting days in Dallas will be over after next season, making way for Drew Henson.

Anyway, here is the link to the DMN article. If you aren't registered, do it, it's free and takes like 2 minutes.

The Giants signed Kurt Warner. The Unintentional Comedy Scale could be shattered when Daddy Manning and Brenda Warner have it out over which one is better.

I think this is very good news. This, if nothing else, provides the Cowboys with an experienced back-up to Quincy. What happens last year if Quincy goes down? Chutch to the rescue? I'd rather bring Jason Garrett back (seriously). If that happens this year, the offense should still be competitive (cough, kinda). I agree, if Carter wasn't sweating his job before, he's probably feeling the heat for sure now. That's a good thing.

Oh and about Warner...I saw a picture of him and his wife once...which one of them plays football again?

Good pick-up as a backup. Vinnie would get killed behind this offensive line and never make it through a 16 game schedule.

The O-Line won't be the same as last year. Injuries ravaged that line, and getting Johnson and Dinappoli back along with the draftees will make it instantly better and deeper.

I think this will be the area that will be the most improved this offseason.
