All On Kyle

The Dallas Cowboys did the obvious today when they announced that Kyle Orton would be their starting quarterback in their do or die game against the Eagles on Sunday.

Jerry Jones previously signed Orton to a 3 year/$10 million contract for this exact purpose. He wasted a great deal of time in thinking that Tony Romo could be ready for the game in spite of a herniated disc in his back. Romo had surgery today to address the problem.

Watching Romo play last Sunday after his injury was painful. Teams take extraordinary steps to try and get players on the field. Romo's injury was too severe. The Cowboys did their best, but they should have made this decision after the game last Sunday.
