The team has ran the ball more THIS year than it probably has the last 3 (8-8) Seasons combined. Now of course that is over the top as it would not be more than those combined but it is far superior number than the previous 3 years. For the previous three seasons we have heard how the running game was a priority but it would always get scrapped after a game or two and it was on the QB to throw the ball and avoid the sack due to shotty oline work.
This year is different. They have made an effort to improve the line the last few years and they went into the season not only saying they were going to run the ball more, they went into the season proving they were going the run the ball more by doing it.
Running the ball more with improved oline play in both the run game AND the passing game is the difference between 8-8 and a winning season.
So..you are entitled to your opinion as well...even if it is wrong. Romo was the MVP for the last few years....he is not the mvp THIS year.
So he's not an MVP when Romo is slinging it around, piling up huge numbers and being the main driver of 8-8 seasons even though he has 4 win talent around him.
And he's not an MVP when they finally put some decent talent around him that leads to double digits wins and a possible division win.
Gotcha.
I guess there are no scenarios in which Romo is MVP material.
And his QB rating is right with the assumed winner, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers would be the first to tell you his game is helped by the running of Eddy Lacy, by the way.
Rodgers will win the MVP, not Romo. But it's based on a false narrative.
Don't get me wrong, Rodgers is better than Romo. But based on this year, theres not too much difference between the 2, IMO.
