Lack of backup plan means no Cowboys Super Bowl

Most NFL teams, almost every NFL team that thinks about winning a title doesn't think about doing it with a back up quarterback, but it has been done.
Kerry Collins is doing it in Tennessee now. Jeff Hostetler did it for the Giants years ago, even Jason Garrett and Bernie Kosar helped the cowboys in the 90's
But this Cowboys team thought they could win with Tony Romo and apparently didn't think they'd need anybody else.
Cowboys face another year with no playoff win

There are four teams in the NFC East and your Cowboys are in 4th place now.
It is still amazing to me that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones would spend the money he does, make the commitment he does trying to win and not have a back up quarterback who can play just a little bit anyway.
It says a great deal about the organization and a great deal about the coaches who thought that 40-year-old Brad Johnson could still play.
It doesn't make him a bad person, but he can't play anymore.
And because of that the Cowboys appear headed to another year -- this would be 12 -- without a playoff win.
