It wasn’t passing on Johnny Manziel … it wasn’t the Greg Hardy situation — Dallas Cowboys bigwig Stephen Jones says the hardest decision he’s made in the front office is benching Tony Romo.
Stephen — the Cowboys CEO and Director of Player Personnel (and also Jerry’s son) — did a video Q&A with fans moments ago … and was asked to name the most difficult Cowboys decision he’s had to make.
Without hesitation, Stephen explained why forcing Tony to take a back seat to Dak Prescott was especially tough for him.
By the way, he did the interview with a painting of Tony Romo over his left shoulder.
Jones keeps referencing Dak’s “hot hand” — which makes it seem like he’s ready to turn right back to Tony if that hand happens to cool off.
Also, interesting Stephen is taking credit for the move … and not head coach Jason Garrett.
But we knew that already … right?
