The Facts:
When the lockout ends and practices begin, Romo will take back his spot as the Cowboys’ No. 1 QB. But not everyone on the Cowboys’ offense thinks it should be that simple. TE Martellus Bennett believes that Jon Kitna should battle Romo in training camp and the preseason to see who the starter will be.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
“I loved playing with Kitna,” Bennett said 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. I hope there’s a chance for a QB competition this year. Every position, I think we need to put more competition into it. ...” While, as PFT's Michael David Smith notes, there’s a case to be made that Kitna was better than Romo last year (his passer rating was 88.9, while Romo’s was 94.9 -- and the Cowboys’ record was better with Kitna starting [4-5] than with Romo starting [1-5]), Bennett shouldn't hold his breath. A healthy Romo is the starter pure and simple.
