Dallas Cowboys/quaterback for cowboys

Question
Why isn't Jerry Jones considering the great quarterback from Texas Tech Graham Harrell for a position on the Dallas Cowboys Football Team? I think he would be a valuable asset to the team.

Answer
Sterling:

That's a great question, but I'm afraid I don't have a good answer.  My friend and fellow Cowboys expert, Duke Ha would be in a better position to answer you, because my expertise is in Cowboys history.

I've long since quit trying to figure out the logic behind Jerry Jones' personnel moves (or non-moves).  But in my humble opinion, with Romo, Kitna and McGee, the Cowboys appear to be set at the QB position.  Jerry has done everything he can to make this year's squad "Romo-friendly" and bringing in a young gunslinger like Harrell may have threatened Romo's comfort-zone.

That's just a theory; I'm sure Duke can give you a better response.  I hope this helps.

Expertise

My particular expertise is Dallas Cowboys history from 1960-1988 (the Landry era); I'm also a Cowboys book fanatic (I have almost 300 different Cowboys-related titles), and I also collect Cowboys football cards (but stopped in 93). But I am not an expert in the value of cards or collectibles – so please don't ask.

Before you ask: "So-and-so" almost certainly DID NOT PLAY for the Cowboys -- trust me! Before you ask me, ask the guy for proof!

Finally, I DO NOT ANSWER “PRIVATE” QUESTIONS! My work requires research, so the results must be made public.

Experience

I had a Cowboys webpage recognized around the Internet as the authoritative list of Cowboys links, and I have a Cowboys book collection second to none (approx. 300 titles). In addition to my book collection, I have every Cowboys media guide back to 1960, which makes researching questions much easier.
