Put another way, in his four playoff games, Andy Dalton led his offense to 43 points total. Not even 11 points/game. 55% completion rate, and just one (1) TD in four games, 4 fumbles, with 6 INTs. That's just bad.

Totally. I'm not saying Dalton is top tier.
I would say he's a mid-level starter. In that Cousins area.
He's unspectacular.
But he'll run your offense, and make some throws, and not get you beat very often.
Dak has a lot more talent, but I've not seen him really run an offense and read defenses, deliver the ball on schedule.
The Cowboys have been playing street ball, looks like to me. That's why they've been out of the hunt, terrible undisciplined, stupid football. I think that's on Garrett, but Dak has certainly played his part.
