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.
Here's the problem you're dealing with.
Rodgers has won a Super Bowl without a running game. Romo has not.
So now that the Cowboys are winning with a running game whereas they didn't get too far leaning on Romo, Romo isn't going to be considered as an MVP candidate. His success is tied directly to the running game, although we know that Romo is far more valuable than Murray.
Romo is the Cowboys MVP. But Romo and the Cowboys wouldn't be where they are with Murray's yards (and the offensive line, for that matter. But since they don't give the award to the offensive line, it's between Murray and Romo. And I think Murray would get the MVP if it were between the two - and rightly so).
