There are pros and cons to being the QB of the Dallas Cowboys and the publicity that comes with it. If Dak were the QB of the Browns, nobody would give a shit about his playoff record or what have you. Case in point, Andy Dalton. He never really won anything or accomplished much outside of taking the Bengals into the playoffs (which was an accomplishment of sorts on it's own, back then) but no one really cared and he's certainly not labeled as an underachiever or a "choker". But he was the QB of the Bengals. No one really cared, his contract status was never really a talking point in the media and his owner, albeit a cheapskate, pretty much kept his mouth shut.
Not so with Dak. He plays for probably the most recognizable franchise in the league, his contract has been a major talking point, and his owner brings tons of attention (wanted or otherwise) on him and his team. The only way Dak will ever be looked at as anything other than an underachiever and a "choker" will be to at the minimum, get Dallas to a SB but really, he'll probably need to win one. Too much? Sorry, should've asked to be traded to the Jaguars a few years ago.
