Like many things all of these years require context. 

For instance 2011 was Dalton's rookie year....Gruden still had them only slightly below average in points per game and Dalton played very well. 

In 2014 Grudens QBs were a broken RG3 for 7 games , and a terrible Kirk Cousins for the rest. Not really anything anyone could do to prevent that from being a terrible offense.

The following years he developed Kirk into a very effective QB with a very effective offense. 

In 2018 they obviously didn't have Kirk Cousins.anf got Alex Smith. He didn't play well but they went 6-4 with Alex as starter before he was lost to injury..the other 6 games were Josh Johnson, Colt McCoy and Mark Sanchez. So basically impossible to run an offense with.

2019 pretty much everything was done and he was finished after 5 games. His options were case Keenum or rookie Haskins. I'd have argued he should have just played Haskins from the get go to buy another year but the offense was going to be bad regardless
