IRVING - Former Cowboys quarterback Quincy Carter signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League on Tuesday.

Carter signed a two-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

?This is a great opportunity for me to do what I love best, which is to play football,? Carter said in a statement.

A second-round pick by the Cowboys in the 2001 draft, Carter played three seasons in Dallas and one season with the New York Jets. He did not play in the NFL in 2005.

He threw for 6,337 yards, 32 touchdowns with 37 interceptions in his four-year NFL career.

I'm not an Als fan, but I like this move alot.

Give Carter a year or two to learn the game before Calvillo starts to decline. Carter wasn't bad in the NFL until he let his personal problems get in the way, but the CFL will give him the chance to be a starter and revive his career. If it works out, he's the next Tracy Ham. If not, there's always Arena Football.

Quincy will dominate the CFL once he becomes a starter. A running QB in the CFL is a realy weapon with a wider and longer field. He's pretty accurate as well so he won't have trouble getting a good completion percentage. But he does need some time to learn the game and the coverages.

I think he will excel in the CFL he was not a great QB for the NFL but hes a custom fit up North with the wirder field.
