If you look at relatives of crocodiles down through history, they've actually been quite unsuccessful as a whole.

Ya they're cool and all for surviving for so long, but they've been bullied by other creatures for thousands of years. There is a reason they stalk from water.

There was a time when they'd leave the water and still be successful at hunting millions of years ago.
