Interesting info, if you ask me. Dak has definitely had the better rushing attack but that is to expected considering the change in offensive philosophy in 2014. However, Romo's rushing attack wasn't quite as bad as I had anticipated. With the exception of 2012, we've had average at worst rushing attack for an efficiency standpoint but several times were below average in rushing attempts.
I'll spend some time and compile some comparative defensive numbers in a bit.
The point I'm trying to make here is that Romo rarely had both good run support AND a good defense, so when we look at Romo and compare him to Prescott it is very apple and oranges due to the supporting cast.
Had Romo played when he returned healthy in 2016, I believe we would have competed for a Super Bowl and I think unless further injury occurred, he would still be the starting QB today. He's significantly better than Prescott and was finally putting together the best elements of his ability.
His 2014 season was a nearly perfect season of football. I think one of the best in the history of football. With an upgrade with Zeke and with La'el collins continued development, we really would have been something.
