I wouldn't say that.
The reason fans love Romo was because of the "it" factor.
From 2006 to 2015(Romo's starting career) Romo had the most 4th quarter comebacks.
Romo - 24
Peyton - 22
Ryan - 22
Eli - 21
Rivers - 20
Brady - 19
Brees - 18
Ben - 17
Stafford - 17
Rodgers - 9
That's what made Romo special. You always felt Dallas was in the game as long as you needed one score and he had the ball. Very similar feeling when Staubach(the original Captain Comeback)played. Just give him a chance.
This feeling is the "it" factor.
I agree.
I would add that Romo wasn't perfect. We all know that he made some bone-headed picks...but every top QB has done including the likes of Peyton and Brady except maybe Rodgers.
But the main difference imo between Prescott and Romo was that even after throwing an avoidable interception I still felt like Romo could help the team win the game. Conversely, when Prescott throws an avoidable pick I feel like the game is basically done if against a good team. That's not even a criticism because Prescott is generally far more careful with the football than Romo. But, when he throws a bad pick and we go down 10-0 or 14-zip then I think that's the game done as he doesn't have the capability to haul the team back with his arm.
As I've mentioned before imo Romo gave us a better chance of winning games whilst Prescott gives us a better chance of not losing games.
