Both are beyond amazing, but I think ROTY has to go to Dak (assuming one doesn't win MVP). If it's between the best rookie QB season ever seen or the best rookie RB season, the choice should be pretty obvious.

I can see that but so much of Daks success has been from teams being terrified of our run game.

Zeke opens the whole thing up.


I would say though that the last 3 games has been more about Dak than Zeke though. Especially the Baltimore and Washington games.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Zeke. In almost any other year he should win it going away. But giving it to a RB over the greatest rookie QB season ever, I just make sense of. Now, I could go for both of them winning it, if that's possible.

I'm guessing Zeke will get all of the awards if he passes Dickerson.. If not it will go to Dak.

Yea, QBs usually get the benefit of the doubt, based off the drop off from starting QBs to back up QBs. We saw that last year with Romo and to be honest, where would we be if Dak got injured right after Romo did, 2-9? Maybe we would have some of the last few games with a rusty Tony Romo coming off his back injury, but we would have been terrible to start the year. I do think Zeke wins OPOY, Dak gets ROY...with an outside chance of getting MVP.

While you're probably right, I don't get why the rookie records Dak is breaking don't seem to matter. lol

At best they should get co-mvp. But look at how little Dak has to pass compared to other qbs. Just in our last game he was 17/24 we are in a run first offense everyone knows that. If Zeke went down and Dak was forced to pass more he wouldn't be nearly as efficient. My vote would go to Zeke if they don't do co-mvp

Although I'd like to see Dak win MVP (won't happen) I'm not overly concerned with who wins what awards otherwise. Just great we got the best rookie duo ever on the Cowboys.

I agree that Morris would be a huge dropoff from Zeke in that scenario while Morris would do well behind this Cowboys oline. Dak's efficiency would take a hit because Morris doesn't offer the same skill set as Zeke does and for that reason Zeke gets my MVP vote as well with Dak being a close second place.
