Arm talent isn't everything. There are many players that had it but didn't win. Akili Smith is one that comes to mind. Ryan Leaf had a big arm too. A more recent example is Jay Cutler. They all had arm talent but they weren't winners. Dak is a winner.
Speaking of records, here is wINTz vs Dak thru the years:
2016: wINTz was 7-9
2016: Dak was 13-3
2017: wINTz was 10-1*
2017: Dak was 9-7
2018: wINTz is 7-7
2018: Dak is 8-5
Dak swept him in 2016, lost 1 in 2017 and swept wINTz again this year. So head to head Dak is up 4-1 by my count.
If not for Zeke's suspension, Tyron Smith being hurt a few games (most notably in ATL), Dak likely wins 12 games in 2017.
Career record as a starter. Advantage: Dak (30-15 vs 24-17).
Playoffs. Dak is 0-1 (but played well; threw for 301 yards and a couple TDs). wINTz is 0-0.
Dak has his warts. All QBs do. But if you asking me who I want between Dak and wINTz, it's obvious to me that Dak is the winner you'd rather lead your franchise over wINTz.
And give me Dak's "availability" over wINTZ "ability" too. wINTz missing significant playing time for the 2nd straight year. Not good.
Anyone who resorts to W/L for individual player arguments, has no argument.
