About Fred Goodwin
Expertise
My particular expertise is Cowboys history from 1960-1988 (the Landry era); I'm also a Cowboys book fanatic (I have almost 200 different Cowboys-related titles), and I also collect Cowboys football cards (but stopped in 93). But I am not an expert in the value of cards or collectibles – so please don't ask.

Before you ask: "So-and-so" almost certainly DID NOT PLAY for the Cowboys -- trust me! Before you ask me, ask the guy for proof!

Finally, I DO NOT ANSWER “PRIVATE” QUESTIONS! My work requires research, so the results must be made public.

Experience
I had a Cowboys webpage recognized around the Internet as the authoritative list of Cowboys links, and I have a Cowboys book collection second to none (200 titles). In addition to my book collection, I have every Cowboys media guide back to 1960, which makes researching questions much easier.

QUESTION: who was the first blk quarterback for dallas cowboys and what year did he play

ANSWER: Charles:

My bio says I don't answer private questions -- please respect that the next time you ask me anything about the Cowboys.

Rodney Peete was the Cowboys' first black QB. He was a back-up to Troy Aikman during the '94 season. He spent most of his NFL career with the Lions & Eagles.

Anthony Wright was with the Cowboys in 2000-2001; the Cowboys missed the playoffs both years.

Quincy Carter was with the Cowboys from 2001-2003; in that time, the Cowboys made the playoffs only in 2003. Carter played the entire game against the Panthers.

I hope this answers your question.
