I agree with your post in general but I think you are underselling how rapidly Dak has developed and the fact Dallas still would have won the game with a bit better performance in the Red Zone (or one less brain cramp from TWill)
On rookie QBs, Peyton Manning's first three games as a true rookie QB were losses with QB ratings of 58, 51 and 39.
Tom Brady only saw the field for three passing attempts as a rookie. Bledsoe was the starter that year (with a 77 QB rating) and John Friesz and Michael Bishop got more game reps than Tom Brady did that year.
We don't know if we would have won the game, just because the outcome was decided by 1 point. We don't know what the Giants would've done if pressed. We can be high on Daks future but the now is that he's a rookie qb and teams aren't going to respect him like Tomorrow.
