Quincy Carter set to open new school in Gwinnett

After seeing Quincy Carter defeat Parkview in the 1995 state championship game, I thought to myself this is a great quarterback and Georgia should do well with him. And he had a pretty good career there. I didn't like that South Carolina game where he threw a pick just about every time he threw the ball. But overall he did well. And then with the Cowboys I followed him and enjoyed watching him. However, then the trouble started and I thought to myself this a guy that is washed up. But the other day I got a chance to talk to him for about an hour. And I found out, he's not a bad guy.

I am a person that believes in second chances. Not three or four or five like some people get but Quincy is really quite a nice guy. He is trying to get back in shape and maybe catch on in the CFL or some where like one of the new leagues. But what he is also doing will probably make him a great living. That is he is planning on opening a new quarterback school here in Gwinnett. And he should do well with so many great quarterbacks in this area. Remember last season we had a ton of junior quarterbacks. Kent Rollins at South. Taylor Heineke at Collins Hill. How about John Russ at Mill Creek or even Charlie Brower at Mountain View. All of these would be perfect candidates to attend his school. Yea Quincy had that terrible game at South Carolina but he had a lot more good games and he learned a lot in the pro's. I think he'll do fine. Also I believe Quincy can also be a positive influence and let these kids know that doing some of the things he did was wrong. If Quincy is sincere, and I think he was, he has turned his life around. And now he is working on turning his business life around. If he doesn't make it in the CFL or NFL or AFL or any FL he can at least be a positive with this school. Good Luck Q. I'm pulling for you.
