I think that’s a valid question, but it’s really tough to define because it’s so subjective.
My view on it is more centered on talent.
Can the player elevate his play when things are bleak and the team needs him to step up? Does he have that extra gear and “clutch” gene? Or, is the player more dependent on his teammates to keep the ship afloat?
Dak has shown moments of being able to carry the team, honestly (especially using his feet in big moments and refusing to be tackled). But there have been too many moments where a QB with superior talent could overcome the obstacles, where Dak falls flat.
This is all very relative and I think I did a poor job of explaining it. But on the whole, I just don’t feel Dak is skilled enough to carry the team when times are tough — and having that ability, to me, is how I’d define “making players around you better”.
