True then again you can play what if all day fact is Dak did not cost Dallas the game and there was no assurance had Romo played that Dallas would have won. No doubt it is great playing what if because the outcome is also pre determined by those playing what if. Fact is Dak played a great game vs the packers in the playoffs. What did Dallas in was a 3rd and 20 where Rogers hits his man for 30 yards, that should never have happened and nothing any QB could have done about it.
Objectively speaking I watched the playoff game against the Packers when Prescott was under centre. I honestly thought during the game that the only plays Romo would not have been able to do were the 2 point conversion Prescott rushed in and he also made an excellent rush for a first down. Aside from that in my opinion Romo would have made all of the throws Prescott did and some plus crucially in my opinion would have drained the clock on the last drive (assuming it panned out to that point) and either won the game or taken it into overtime as obviously he wouldn't have spiked the ball given his level of experience.
Prescott didn't get going until late in the Second Quarter - would it have taken Romo that long to get going against an awful defense knowing that he was up against a great QB in Rodgers?
Prescott did also throw an interception which was costly as it chewed up the clock at a critical moment during the game. In his last two play off games Romo had 4 TDs with zero interceptions and was 34/50 for 484 yards. On balance, against a terrible Secondary I think Romo would have lit it up and whilst it was only one drive, boy did he look smooth against the Eagles. It would have been a TD on his first throw if Terence Williams wasn't so surprised that someone threw the ball further than 40 yards! haha Cheap but nothing wrong with a harmless crack.
Prescott did have the best offensive line in the league by a country mile in 2016 plus a Top 3 running back in Elliott so he had a lot going for him offensively. I personally never saw Romo have that same quality around him as in my opinion the 2014 Offensive Line was very good but I don't think had the chemistry of 2016.
On the face of it, I thought Prescott had a very good game against the Packers given that he was a rookie, of course he played well. But I think Romo would have been great and effectively won us the game and the way he would have got us going sooner than Prescott did I think would have settled down the defense in the first half rather than it taking them as long as until the Second half before they settled down.
I'm not hating on Prescott, as I said he played well but I don't see why I should be ashamed or embarrassed to state the above which I still strongly believe to this very day.
