I know.
I never said Prescott could not have help the team beat Green Bay at home. In fact, I have repeatedly said Prescott was not the deciding factor in the game.
Again. What I have said in posts on this forum since late October 2016 is that no starting rookie quarterback has led their team to a Super Bowl appearance or win. If Dallas had beaten Green Bay, it is extremely likely the team would have lost the following NFC Conference championship game. The probability of a Prescott led team would have suffered the same fate as a New York Jets rookie Mark Sanchez quarterback led team would have been the zero also.
Yep. Veteran quarterbacks lose in the playoffs too. That is a century old truth.
A Romo-led team in 2016 may have ended up the exact same as the actual Prescott-led team. Maybe not. Variables are not defined until they play out. Same goes for the NFC Conference championship. Could have been a win or loss. The only definite outcome was that no postseason game will end in a tie. Ditto for the Super Bowl. For veteran quarterback led teams though. Not rookie quarterback led teams (0%).
Yeah I'm sorry but this is a lot of haze to try to explain away the fact that Dak already beat Green Bay the same season in a place Romo could not. I think "chances" were on Dak's side having done it already that year. I'm not ragging on Romo either but this whole "never been done before" thing is silly. No one had won 7 Super Bowls until Brady did it. If Micah was a full time pass rusher, he'd probably have more sacks than any rookie before him. I think you play it out rather than play scared. The kid was winning so you stick with him.
