People talked a LOT about his supposedly disappointing season with McLaren. Button was a former WDC who was very well established in the team by that point, and he had the upper hand over Perez over the course of the season, but it was not a whitewash by any means. Perez really gave Button a hard time at many of the races, beating him in several.
The way people talk about Perez that season is puzzling to me. Replacing him with Magnussen was not an improvement - IMO anyway.
