Josh McGown is doing good at NYJ, Kirk Cousins is doing good at Wash
McCown has 1.86 TD's to every INT, so he wouldn't meet your criteria.
Only 9 QB's meet your criteria this year. Only 5 of those have been sacked 20+ times. Here's the run-game rankings for those 5 QB's:
Alex Smith/Chiefs: 12th in yards - 3rd in yards/carry
Tom Brady/Patriots: 16th in yards - 21st in yards/carry
Carson Wentz/Eagles: 3rd in yards - 7th in yards/carry
Kirk Cousins/Redskins: 21st in yards - 22nd in yards/carry
Russell Wilson: 19th in yards - 23rd in yards/carry
Not only is Dalton getting sacked/pressured/hit at a higher rate than any of these guys, his run game is far worse. Only 8 teams are averaging less than 92.1 yards per game. We're at 72.3. It's the worst figure in team history. As is the 3.1 yards/carry. If you can find numerous examples of QB's meeting your own criteria in similar circumstances, I salute you.

Tell you this right now--bring in another QB, spend a high pick on one, sit back, watch it all come apart for him too. Maybe then you'll see a pattern. Or will it take two more, five more, ten more? This is where QB's go to get their asses kicked. Sure, turn the page, bring in another one. Give him a patchwork line and no running game and bad schemes and sit back and watch the deja vu unfold.
Nailed it. After 2010, I was pounding the table wanting a new QB. I'm not falling for it this time. I don't care if we dump Dalton. I'd actually enjoy watching him suit up elsewhere. I won't sit here and pretend things will get better with a new QB though. I know better.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
