Gerry Fraley, writer for The Dallas Morning News and SportsDayDFW.com, answered your Cowboys and Rangers questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights from the chat:

On if everyone quit last night after Tony Romo got hurt because Romo is the team's leader ...

Fraley: More of a case that he plays the most important position. I'd never call Romo a leader. He's too self-absorbed.

More on Romo being self-absorbed ...

Fraley: He's a little too concerned, for me, about image and letting people know that he is familiar with Tiger Woods.

On if the Cowboys should sign another quarterback ...

Fraley: They should. With all due respect to Jon Kitna, old players get hurt.

On if the Cowboys should give Stephen McGee a shot over Jon Kitna ...

Fraley: Cowboys should do that immediately. Find out of McGee can play. Cowboys won't do that because Jerry thinks there is still hope for the season.

Still hope? STILL HOPE??

For a guy who was an undrafted FA Romo went Hollywood on us way too fast. I am still pissed about Romo going partying before the playoff game with Simpson and his boys. Romo was a young QB who should have been at the Ranch doing more homework.

Once again, the Cowboys didn't know who they were playing. But explain this to me: how did Romo's "partying" contribute to Crayton dropping a perfect pass for a TD, and then stopping on a route for another would-be TD? Or the Oline playing like shit that game...OR... Roy and Reeves getting burnt before halftime?

Romo is the least of this teams worries.

Exactly.

Yeah, there's merit in what you're saying.

But I get the theme of the article also. And I think there's some merit in what Fraley is saying also.
