Twitter: Dak is now frontrunner in odds for MVP

[Yobwocs]

He gets 2 more automatic yards PER play than Dak.

I don't know if Dak will get MVP but clearly he has earned the right to be in discussion for the award. In past years people claimed him as. Bus driver and now with a lack of running game the burden has been put on Dak to carry this offense and has. He has the most TD passes in the league and the best TD to int ratio. I can't say others are not worthy of it but as I said I can make a legitimate argument as to why he should. Frankly Dak is the most criticized player in the NFL even Stephen A Smith has said this, as he said we talk about Josh Allen and others but no one cares outside the fan base Dak on the other hand gets the attention good and bad by friend an foe alike

probably just acknowledging he's a system guy. very impressive, but also easy to discount. imo

This doesn't even make sense to me. Shannahan has been coaching SF since 2017, and he hasn't been able to just throw in any QB and get them to play as well as Purdy.

Every QB plays in a system, and the teams are supposed to try and fit that system to the QB playing in it. That's not unique to SF. The "system" doesn't make the reads or throw the passes,

I would think differently if this were the NCAA and it was some college gimmick like a run & shoot designed to rack up passing stats, but it's not. They just happen to have a coach with a good offensive mind and players with enough talent to carry out the plan. Obviously Purdy is one of those players.

As well as Dak is playing it’s going to be difficult for him to win MVP if the Cowboys don’t win the NFC East. Being a wildcard team is probably going to hurt his chances.

 

[OmerV]

Dak's receivers get a ton of YAC as well.

You don't think Deebo, Aiyuk and McCaffrey get a lot of yards after the catch? And Kittle gets more than most TE's. And the reality is, part of a QB playing well is to get the ball to receivers in a position where they can gain yards after the catch.

For now, I think Purdy has, and should have, the edge, but a lot will depend on how things work out in the remaining regular season games. Cowboys have a tough remaining schedule, and if Dak can play at a high level in those games things could turn in his favor.

Which makes no sense to me. Purdy has a 117 rating and beat both Hurts and Dak.

To me, he is the front runner.

Well Lamb does. To put things in perspective McCaffery and Deebo are top 20.....and McCaffery is a running back and Deebo missed games.

Hurts should be removed.

System QB With great surrounding talent.

 

[jazzcat22]

Very likely they’ll just give it to whoever wins the NFC. The main reason Hurts is a candidate to begin with

When do they announce it though. I don’t remember. I guess because I never pay much attention to it when announced.
Since only one Dallas player ever won it. And none lately was even close to winning it.

If Dak comes out similar in the next 3 contests...i would say it is his to take. It is Purdy's right now, IMO.

It should be a close race. It could go either way.

It all depends on these last games, but if it came down to similar performances in the final games, Purdy sadly should win given how they played in their head to head matchup. We can hope Dak balls out and Purdy stumbles (for many reasons)

 

[Jstopper]

Some around here are going to be VERY mad when Purdy wins it over Dak.

You’re already upset that Dak is even in the running. Cope harder

 

[Jstopper]

Dak's receivers get a ton of YAC as well.

And of course you lie to try to knock Dak. The Cowboys are in the bottom 5 in the league at YAC. You are a joke

Luckily the voters don’t seem to share your stance. Purdy is looked at as a product of his environment, being surrounded by the Avengers. That’s why Dak is the betting favorite

 

[Havic]

Win out and dak wins it easily

 

[Doomsday101]

I hope Dak gets MVP but I also understand all these players being talked about as MVP are candidates because they are having great seasons worthy of MVP. Hell the fact that Dak is in the running should end talk of being a bad QB

 

[Yobwocs]

Jordan Love > Brock Purdy

Green Bay is a team that relies solely on their QB. Put Purdy in Green Bay and he'll be benched faaaast, and wouldn't have nearly the support of the fanbase than Love initially had.
