Im not being disagreeable, just curious, why do you say this is the most important stat?
He is 4th in QB rating and 16th in qbr, Ive never heard of this one, so I dont think the average fan uses this the most. What is the NFL Channel? You mean NFL Network?
I am open to hearing your answer
It's not the most important stat, it's the most important ranking. Yes I think NFL.com ranking is the one people use the most, it's the most official ranking, and when you see QBs ranked weekly on the bottom alert section on ESPN and the NFL network, they always use NFL.com's ranking, so yes I think it's the #1 most important ranking and the one people sees the most.
If we go by stats, you can argue Dak's stats are similar to Brady's, Stafford's, Murray's, and Mahome's. I already stated why Dak should be above Brady. Above Mahomes because of his 8 INTs. Above Murray that's a matter of opinion - both are playing elite football. And Dak should be above Stafford because of Stafford's horrible game against the Cardinals... in which he padded his stats when the game was already over, but in reality that game was far worse than his final statline indicated.
Here, look.... this is even what they say about Dak, when Belichick threw everything he had at him and still couldn't stop or limit him one bit:
