I can see your point, and you may see Bollinger some on Sunday, I just have never been impressed with him.
What I am hoping for is this, the o-line gives Brad time similiar to what he had against Tampa and that the Defense steps it up another notch above what it did against the Bucs. If this happens, I think the Cowboys would have a decent shot at winning the game. I know I am asking alot, but hey, I think it is time this Cowboys team, if it is the most talented in the league, show what it is made of.
I would sign Culpepper, or someone better, right after the game and let Johnson go. I would then spend the by week getting Culpepper familiar with the offense. I think Jerry now sees the importance of a younger, more flexible backup QB. I like Brad Johnson and think he has done the best he could for this team, but his time has passed.
I may be wrong, but I really think Dallas beats NY Sunday :starspin

Johnson has obvious shortcomings. I gotta believe that the coaches can see these shortcomings too.
If the Cowboys had Johnny Unitas, in his prime, as the third stringer, the Cowboys coaches would be bright enough to play Johnny Unitas ahead of Brad Johnson.
So if the coaches are hesitant to replace Johnson with Bollinger, it tells us that Bollinger isn't Johnny Unitas. Fact is that the coaches aren't sure that Bollinger is any better than Brad Johnson.
The bottomline is that there aren't any great choices to be made here.
I think you've gotta try to get Bollinger ready. Start Johnson but don't be afraid to pull him in favor of Bollinger if/when the game begins to get out of hand.

FWIW... In the PC today, Wade sounded pretty evasive about guaranteeing Brad would start this week. He kept saying that we haven't had meetings about personnel yet.
The media could tell he was being less than definite and pressed him on it, and one guy finally said, "Why don't you just say Brad will start this week?" And Wade quickly replied with, "Okay, Brad will start this week."
Which drew a lot of laughter, because it was obvious he was just saying it because the guy told him to.

Dante wouldn't play a down here. If they signed him tonight he wouldn't be able to even suit up and play for this offense on Sunday. Then what? Then Tony returns and you cut Dante who did absolutely nothing cause you brought him in too late.
If you don't go with Brad the only option is Brooks.

I'll say this about Bollinger, he's a gamer. He's not the most talented guy, to say the least. He doesn't have a big arm. He isn't the most accurate guy. He isn't the best scramber. But he somehow does pretty well...
I was always more surprised they didn't give him more of a chance in Minnesota. But when I would watch him in the preseason, he always strugged. Then he could come in and give his team a lift againt someone like the Chargers in a game that mattered.

I hated how the NFL was trying to make Culpepper one of the 'faces' of the league a few years ago with him being in several of their commercials. What a clown. Not sure what they were thinking putting a foolish showboat like that in there.
