I somewhat disagree.
In all seriousness, I believe Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett were so caught up in the euphoria of the team's winning season that they fully accepted the same belief held by many others. A quarterback was having a (literally) phenomenal rookie season. The 2016 regular season was rationalized by Jones, Garrett, and others that a rookie was more capable of taking the team to the Super Bowl.
It is that simple. Deflective arguments were made about the veteran quarterback's health, both recent and past. The same was justified by the veteran quarterback's previous track record. No. In my opinion, the only reason, why the veteran quarterback was not reinstated as the starter, had very little to do with the team suddenly being gifted with a brand new quarterback for a discount, but mostly or everything to do with believing:
the
most
capable
quarterback
--for winning the Super Bowl that season should not be sidelined.
