1- Completely wrong on those accounts, which shows a lack of understanding and a key-hole view into Dak and any QB for that matter.. the best any QB and I mean any QB can do is utilize the resources they are provided to maximize their output. Brees produced a lot of yards, etc. but he had some nice resources in TEs, Wrs, RB and a very good OL at his disposal. does it mean Brees wasn't as good? no, it means he maximized their output. Brady last year had a lot of nice resources in WRs, TEs, running game, coaching and support of a truly top 10 defense. he maximized their output. Wilson is the same, having nice group of WRs, good OL and a good supporting running game and he produced (their defense let him down much like ours)....Dalton in fact didn't produce. against average teams and playoff teams he actually collapsed, pretty bad I might say. WFT, AZ, Ravens owned his arse. he was able to produce against much inferior teams, some with 2 wins at the time. having their back up QBs, and our defense taking advantage and providing him with 9 turnovers (short field) and a score....so Dalton didn't produce. the OL Dalton played was pretty much the same as dak except for 1.5 games that Tyron smith played (injured I must say). so Dalton didn't produce by any stretch of imagination close to Dak or keep the team competitive. CONTEXT matters else you come to the wrong conclusions.
2- Dak is top 10 in most all books, except a few like Stephen A. smith (OMG) and Skip Bayless two of the loudest mouths and empty heads in the business. if you want to follow them and believe in them, good for you...good luck. and FO personnel unlike fans like you aren't enamoured just by Yards, if they were, they would have ranked Winston way up there..... there are many factors the FO personnel use to size a QB.....yards and ability to produce yards are one of many factors. this yard thing is a narrative the Dak haters cling to, which has been debunked 100 times over.
3- so if not all wins/losses are on Dak, why do you continuously harp on his record? you can't be on both side of the fence. and giving Dak a rich contract (not the richest, which is a total lie on your part). doesn't stop us from building a defense. there are no real FA of note to sign that we couldn't, that would make a big difference on this defense. teams tend to hold on to the franchise type players including on the defensive side of the ball. injured, old, head cases are usually the ones that hit the market. if any FA of note worth their play hit the market they will be OVER PRICED as well. the dollars you complain about, is if we wanted to hand it to our own FAs. which I question you to tell us which ones did we want to keep on our defense and couldn't? in fact we should have never paid Jaylon...but we did. our mistake. we have 8 of the largest positional contracts on the team. Money has never been an issue. paying the right players, and the right positions have always been an issue. the easiest path to the superbowl is with a QB. if you want to go with Dilfer wo is >>>>> Dalton then you better build an all time defense to compensate for the lack of QB play. and those all time defenses aren't build through FA. you can sign a player or two here and there to a position that you didn't draft well and have a need. but you CAN NOT build a defense through FA. that's an argument that even Dak haters couldn't support, but continue to argue without merit.
so which defensive players did you want to sign, that would have made a difference in this defense and compensate for drop in QB if you didn't sign Dak and went with Dalton? which of our own defensive players should we have signed and couldn't?
lastly, why are you complaining about Dak contract? when we have over paid players like Lawrence and Jaylon and Zeke on the team. why aren't you dedicating the same number of posts and complain about their contracts? what would be a fair market value for Dak that would have made you happy?
