I think what people mean by saying he sucks is that whenever they play the best teams, he wilts and plays horribly. He rolls up the stats and awards against bad NYG and Wash teams and then can't find a WR who’s not an opposing DB in the playoffs and against the elite teams. He is what he is….and turns out that 2016 was probably the best shot we had with Dak, back when we had a solid running game and Dak was still mobile. He will never get to the promised land on his arm alone.
Dak has an average record vs winning teams. But you'd be surprised by most of the quarterbacks in the NFL records vs winning teams compared to Dak's. Dak is actually in the top 10 of quarterbacks in the category of "records vs winning teams".
I definitely understand where you're coming from, but I think that whole "he can't beat good teams" thing is a little over exaggerated.
Everything that you stated that happens to Dak, seems to happen to alot of our other teammates as well. They don't show up when it counts the most. Dak is guilty of that as well, I'm not exonerating him.
With that said, if we had a better running game, AND could stop the run, we'd go deep into the playoffs.
If Dak can become an All-Pro AND MVP candidate last season WITHOUT a functioning running game to aid the offense, just imagine what we could do as a TEAM if we had a running and could actually stop the run....
