IRVING, Texas -- Jason Garrett spent his entire 12-year NFL playing career as a backup or third-string quarterback.
You would think that would make him qualified to find and develop a backup quarterback for Tony Romo sometime during the nine seasons he's been with the Dallas Cowboys as offensive coordinator or head coach.
Apparently not.
Garrett has tried to do it through the draft (Stephen McGee) and with undrafted free agents (Dustin Vaughan) and former first-round busts (Brandon Weeden), but he's failed.
The failure to secure and develop an adequate backup to Romo this year destroyed the Cowboys' season.
