Kitna just as good as Romo?

News all over the NFL world is that Tony Romo suffered a broken collarbone during the game and was replaced by veteran Jon Kitna.  I actually thought Kitna did OK considering the situation but he was being booed by Cowboy's fans at one stage which was pretty harsh.

The Dallas newspapers this morning are full of doom and gloom this morning (check the link for some comments).

But apparently not everyone is so pessimistic.  Roy Williams made the following quote:
“Tony is our starter, but Jon is just as good. We are going to work this week in practice so we can get the timing down with the receivers. But I have complete faith in him"

OK this is a little extreme I think but got to applaud the effort.  Also during the telecast of the game last Jaws said he was excited for Jon Kitna.  Not so sure that too many Cowboys fans would agree.  A tough season just got a whole lot tougher for them.
