Cowboys QB situation

[Shane]

My guess is that the Cowboys will acquire a quarterback this offseason, someone young and who has experience. Parcells doesn't want to have his comeback ruined by sitting around for a number of years on the hope that the baseball player will develop into a solid starter. He also doesn't want to be forced to go with Testaverde all year either.

Matt Mosley, of the Dallas Morning News, reports during an interview with close friend Pat Summerall, Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells expressed his lack of confidence in the club's backup QBs Tony Romo and Drew Henson during this past season. "If I start one of those guys, by the end of the first quarter, we'll have 10 sacks and two interceptions and we'll be behind, 21-0," Summerall recalled Parcells saying. "He (Parcells) just thought it would be a disaster. He would be embarrassed. They would be embarrassed and the fans would be embarrassed."

Matt Mosley, of the Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells had considered retiring after this season, but has since decided to remain the club's head coach for 2005. "I think he did very seriously," close friend Pat Summerall said of Parcells contemplating retirement. "But I think those ideas and those thoughts are gone." Summerall later added that Parcells had told him he tried too hard to be a, "nice guy" to the media and that "I've got to go back to being a bad guy."
