Troy Aikman: I'm 'just dumbfounded' by Jerry Jones' comments about Tony Romo

Troy Aikman thinks that if Jerry Jones were the only one with a say in the Cowboys' quarterback controversy, Tony Romo would have replaced rookie Dak Prescott under center by now.

"I'm not sure that Tony, if it was left up to the owner, wouldn't be the starter now, just based on the comments that I've heard in the last couple weeks," Aikman said Thursday morning in an interview with KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket.

But with the Cowboys sitting at 11-2 without Romo, Aikman says he just doesn't get why Jones keeps dropping comments that keep the quarterback quandary alive.
