For me, like most others here, it's mainly because Dak just isn't that good. It's frustrating because I honestly feel like the rest of the team is strong enough to do compete with the best if it had a top QB. I understand that some fans like him because we've sad some (very moderate) success with him as the starting QB but a few seasons worth of play is not a big enough sample size to rate a QB by that metric. Don't forget that Drew Brees recently went 7-9 three seasons in a row and Mark Sanchez started out his career 23-14 (including playoffs) and took the Jets to 2 AFC Championship games. Now I'm not saying that Dak is as bad as Sanchez because his first season was much better than anything Sanchez ever did but it is very concerning that his numbers (by almost any efficiency metric) over the last couple of seasons would see him ranked somewhere among the bottom ten starting QBs. What makes it worse is that he could potentially be about to get a big contract that would eat up a lot of cap space and make the team around him a lot worse.
Another smaller reason for me is that I just generally find the offense incredibly boring to watch ever since he's been here. Even in his first year when he played well and we moved the ball effectively there were a lot less spectacular plays than when Romo was QB. I know everyone is happy to do with a few less spectacular plays if it means we're winning consistently, but when you're a middle of the pack team doing nothing amazing it sure makes the games more exciting when your offense can pull off those plays.
A fair and honest post. Well done.
