Bennett believes that Kitna should start for Dallas

[VC15]

At least one member of the Dallas Cowboys hopes three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Tony Romo has to earn the right to retain his starting job.

The Cowboys went 1-5 when Romo started last season. They won four of nine games started by 38-year-old backup Jon Kitna after Romo suffered a broken collarbone, including a stretch of three wins in four games immediately after head coach Wade Phillips was fired and replaced by offensive coordinator Jason Garrett.

"I loved playing with Kitna," tight end Martellus Bennett said during a Tuesday appearance on ESPN 103.3's Ben & Skin Show. "Kitna is one of my favorite people to play with. Just being out there on the field with that guy just makes you play even harder. He made some things happen in limited time, so I think if he got a longer chance, he'd be able to do more.

It's just funny to see how Bennett is making Kitna sound like a first ballot HOFer. Only in Dallas....

I'm not sure what he said was all that controversial. Fact of the matter is, they won games with Kitna last year, and didn't with Romo. He has a right to stand behind him and compliment him publically.

I mean, his comments weren't as controversial as Williams saying Kitna was "just as good" as Romo, that's for sure...

It's without a doubt the truth. The only issue here is that Romo is making the big dollars, and Kitna isn't.

Dallas is always under the microscope, and Bennett should know that these comments can be twisted and turned big time on him.
