I found myself wondering which QBs have won the most games since Dak came into the league and how he stacked up. Here is what I found:

For those of you that don't want to click on the link:
#1 Brady - 67
#2 Rodgers - 55
#3 Wilson - 55
#T-4 Prescott - 49
# T-4 Big Ben - 49
# 5 Brees - 48
# 6 Mahomes (he would probably be #2 or #1 if he had started in 2016) - 46
# 7 Cousins - 45
I actually found this really interesting. Considering that Dak missed most of last season, you can assume if he had avoided injury he likely would have picked up anywhere from 5-7 more wins and would have found himself behind no one other than Brady for most QB wins since he came into the league.
What does this mean? I personally believe that you cannot judge a QB entirely off wins, but they are an indication of their ability. You see the names up there in the top 7? Those are all good QBs. Some of them the best of their generation like Rodgers and Brady. Most of the time I do not think a player finds themselves in that position on accident. Perhaps we judge Dak too harshly. The reality is the dude has won a ton of games in his first 5 seasons and finds himself positioned among the best to do it in terms of victories.
There also seems to be a prevailing opinion among Cowboys fans that we have been in an absolute dark age, but in reality we have been one of the best regular season teams of the last 5 years and even though playoff success is the ultimate measure of a team, regular season games matter. We have done this with inept coaching until recently and a deeply flawed roster most seasons. Perhaps this is the year Dallas conquers its demons.
I just wanted to put somethings into perspective and see if anyone has any takes on this.
