Keep in mind, I said MOST, not ALL. He is to blame for some of the games, but I don't think he's the main problem for the majority.
2016 - Most agree he had a great year.
2017 - I think that year was exaggerated to be terrible, but it wasn't as horrible as people make it out to be. Forgotten were the games vs the Rams and the Packers. We scored 30 points in both games but still lost. If we won those, we'd be 11-5 and make the playoffs. Sure Dak wasn't perfect that year and there were some ugly lows but if we look past the optics, we were 2 should've-won games away from 11-5. Not to mention he was without Tyron Smith in that 3 game stretch, and Chaz Green is so horrible a downgrade from Tyron that you gotta cut some slack to a 2nd year Quarterback getting murdered behind that bum Green.
2018 - We started the year with a league's bottom 3 receiving group, and we greatly struggled on offense at the beginning of the year. Gallup was a rookie, he's not the same guy he is now and yet still our best receiver until we added Cooper, and Dak goes on a 7-1 run to end the year. It's not like we got a major upgrade at the receiver spot, we added only one good receiver but still middle-of-the-pack overall compared to the rest of the NFL, yet Dak was still able to go 7-2 with just a slight upgrade in weaponry. Give Peyton Manning the variation of Beasley, Hurns, Austin, and a pretty much washed up Terrence Williams instead of Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark and..... you'll instantly see the difference.
2019 - Ok I'll admit a lot of that year was his fault. No idea how he was so flat against the Bills, the Saints, the Bears, and the Eagles. But... still just one year.
2020 - We would've been in the playoffs already if Dak played the whole year. Instead we have to closely scoreboard-watch Washington against the Eagles next week. Dak doesn't generally lose to below .500 teams - I highly doubt he would go 0-2 against Washington, and based on those 2 games we would've been in the playoffs already.
