Clarence Hill: Cowboys are expected to sign Jon Kitna as third QB

[DOUBLE WING]

He knows how to get the ball to Dez.

It IS Clarence Hill.

ESPN just said "Kitna hasn't played since 2011 when he started 3 games for the Cowboys." He started 9 games...

In 2010.

Is it Christmas Eve or April Fools Day?

 

[cowboys1981]

Isnt he teaching in Tacoma?

They're probably on Xmas break

 

[Supercowboy1986]

Espn just confirmed the signing.

 

[casmith07]

Good for Jon. Make a couple thousand to stand on the sidelines in Dallas in a uniform? They could've signed me for that.

 

[links18]

Man, you gotta wonder if Orton struggles do they actually pull him for Kitna?

 

[TheSport78]

This is actually a better sign that Romo plays.

Come on, you're signing a retired QB who's been coaching high school football the past two years?

 

[JoeyBoy718]

In 2010.

Oh. So Romo got hurt again in 2011? I forgot about that. Seems like Romo misses a few games every year.

ESPN said something the other day like Romo has "only" missed 44 games in his career. That doesn't make sense. He's been a starter for a little less than 7 years. That's more than 6 games a year. That seems like too many.

Who knows the system and who isn't Jon Skelton?

I think Kitna maybe played a few series against the 49ers in 2011, when Romo came back in with the rib inujury, but that was about it.

I agree about knowing the system but did the Cowboys even work Kitna out? They can't be expecting to get production from a guy who's been out of football for 2 years. He's probably an emergency 3rd QB incase Romo's back flares up AND Orton gets hurt. I think Tony starts. Will he finish? Who knows.

Yep he's a math teacher

He knows how to get the ball to Dez.

He also knows how to get the ball into the opposing team's hands ...

Well, at least we know he can still count.

Yeah. And I misheard. They must have said he's only missed 14 games in his career. I just checked. One this year, 10 in 2010, and 3 in 2008. And Kitna didn't started 3 games in 2011 like ESPN said. Romo started every game. Kitna might have taken a few snaps in 3 games but that's it.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

i thought about it and I like it he knows the offense and has played with the guys around here,

Somebody open up a window.
