“Romo may have had more big plays but more interceptions.”
Romo enjoyed a 14-season career while the 29-year old Prescott is just seven years into his career. He has plenty of time to better his record, but no one knows how mnay shots he will get as a member of the Dallas Cowboys.

Prescott tossed a league-leading 15 interceptions on the season and threw two costly picks in the divisional round against the San Francisco 49ers.
The 2023 season will bring renewed hope for Prescott to separate himself from quarterbacks of the past as well as try to gain the trust his fan base again.
