I doubt that. This is a great discussion topic for another thread. But if you bring the whole package except Romo to the AFC East, you still have a series of coaches and an owner with Dallas that made horrible decisions about personnel and how to manage the cap to what has been a division with as much up and down as the NFC East since 2001.
As you said, this would indeed be a great topic of debate for another thread, so I don't want to continue moving in a wrong direction. I do think that the topic may have more merits to a 'back and forth' debate vs a one sided debate than you may think.
For one thing, Romo is one of a few select QBs who have ever reached 7 consecutive seasons over a QB rating of 90, so that is definitely a point in his favor that many don't realize.
Another thing is that Romo's all-time completion percentage in 65%, which is pretty damn good. He also has a 2/1 TD to INT ratio. Most importantly, his all-time career QB rating is right on par with our own Tom Brady, right around 95-96....so obviously you need to take all of those stats into account when attempting to assess his importance on another much more successful team such as our own N.England Patriots, and I would imagine that those were some of the things that Deus was thinking when he made the comment.
Football is a team sport, so I don't personally put as much credibility into his 1-3 playoff record as you might, although I certainly understand your point and concerns about his tendency to committ too many untimely turnovers.
It should be noted that the numbers provided in the 3rd paragraph are not too well known throughout the general football world in regards to what the "average" fan thinks, and even though he has shown some poor decisions in turning the ball over, having an all-time 2/1 TD to INT ratio doesn't prove that point as much as one would think.
I still wouldn't want him on my team by any means, but he's definitely a much better option than they could've had if they chose to start over with a rookie draft pick, and he does have many numbers in his favor. I'm sure he would indeed do much better on a more successful team with better players and mgmt around him.

By the way, welcome back.
