News: Dak still in the MVP conversation

[EST_1986]

It's a lot closer than you think. The numbers even say so, not only that but neither of them have had their bye week while Dak has.

Not looking at numbers. Jackson and Russ have just been very dominant. As has McCaffrey.

dak is not going to win his team wont win enough games you have to be in the top of your conference in wins to be considered a middling record wont get u many awards

SO early still. Barely halfway through.

Still
TD-int differential is a key stat for me.

That sets Wilson apart in a big way

Dak is tied for 11th, I think. Not terrible but not MVP like either.

You liked that tweet that lists Romo 3rd only to Brees and Palmer in clutch EPA from 2009-19, so you'll be glad to know that the same metric for all plays in 2019 ranks them like this:

EPA/play
1 Mahomes
2 Prescott
3 Watson
4 Jackson
5 Cousins

2018? Let's pull up some current stats.

It says SINCE 2018 ........

Actually Jackson had his bye week. Wilson's is this weekend. If the Seahawks win the NFC west I think it's Wilson's award to lose especially when you consider the transition on offense and defense.

They misspelled Prescott. Isn't it spelled W-e-n-t-z?

But yet Dak has more TDs than Jackson.....

But yet Dak has more TDs than Jackson.....

I don’t care about stats. Stats don’t tell the entire story. And Dak has been great this season.

looked it up and they both have 21 total TDs after 9 played game? So not sure how Dak has more but ok.

Youll notice my only complaint in this thread was that Mahomes wasn't in the top 5 in MVP face.

Honestly, I'm still trying to figure out whether or not Jackson is legit. Right now he appears to everything the league thought RG3 was ( his mentor and backup).

 

[Section446]

He's not that caliber of player, shouldn't even be in the conversation.

 

[DoctorChicken]

If we somehow won out, including beating the Patriots in a few weeks, I could see Dak winning it.

But right now, it’s Russ. Russ has played out of his mind for a few seasons now.

 

[percyhoward]

Only complaint and first reaction.

But yet Dak has more TDs than Jackson.....

They actually both have 21 touchdowns each.......

 

[Irvin88_4life]

They actually both have 21 touchdowns each.......

Dak has 18 passing TDs and Jackson has 15....... I'm not that smart but 18 is more than 15.

 

[TruBluSince1982]

He has zero chance... the MVP is a narrative award, and that narrative seems to be drifting towards Jackson and Wilson. The Cowboys own narrative as a team that can’t beat anybody with a pulse isn’t helping.

That narrative is still being written. Dak topples Belly, Brady and the Pat's. Perfect narrative.

 

[DFWJC]

Well, we have the 30th rankedLions defense this week.
Not only can they not stop the run but they let Daniel Jones and Mitch Trubisky throw for 4 and 3 TDs respectively..

So good stats should continue for all!

 

[Tussinman]

Dak has 18 passing TDs and Jackson has 15....... I'm not that smart but 18 is more than 15.

They both TOTAL have 21 each unless you think rushing touchdowns are unfair and don't count (which would be dumb since a huge perk of Wilson , Jackson, and Dak is being mobile).

They each have the same amount of touchdowns

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

If Dak and the team run the table he definitely should be in the conversation (presuming he was playing well during the run).

That said, it’s tough to win the MVP when your team lost to the Jets.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

They both TOTAL have 21 each unless you think rushing touchdowns are unfair and don't count (which would be dumb since a huge perk of Wilson , Jackson, and Dak is being mobile)

I heard right here that Dak isn't that good because of his rushing TDs.........

Spin it how you want but Dak has more passing TDs than Jackson, and that's on a run first team
