ESPN's MVP Poll is an absolute joke

[Nav22]

1. Derek Carr
2. Matt Ryan
3. Tom Brady
4. Zeke
5. Dak
6. Matthew Stafford
T7. Von Miller
T7. Russell Wilson
T7. Aaron Rodgers
10. Andrew Luck
11. Drew Brees

One of the drawbacks of being America's Team AKA the most hated team in America.

Dak leads the league in QBR and has guided his team to the very best record in the NFL. To discredit what he's done because of Elliott or the OL is a JOKE. We went 1-11 last year without Romo and with essentially the same OL.

Derek Carr also benefits from a great OL... and oh by the way, Dak's numbers blow Carr's out of the water (86.0 QBR vs 66.7) AND the Cowboys have a better record than the Raiders.

And since when do great weapons (like Zeke and Dez) take away from a QB's MVP candidacy? Do we discredit Carr because he has Cooper/Murray? How about Ryan with Julio/Freeman? Brady has Gronk and maybe the best coach ever.

Speaking of Mr. Brady... not only does Dak have a higher QBR than Brady... not only does Dak have a better win % than Brady... but Brady was suspended for 4 games for cheating! AND his backup went 3-1!!!

Early morning rant over. Just sick of our guys getting the shaft just because they have a star on their helmets and that triggers all sorts of insecurity within the haters. Romo deserved the award in 2014 but Aaron Rodgers won in a landslide.

Go Cowboys. Dak Prescott = the REAL MVP.

Dak and Zeke are splitting votes

MVP is awarded by the AP (Associated Press), not fans

Polls are dumb

I want tacos

LOL. Another 20 page thread lamenting how we are so persecuted.

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

Dak and Zeke are probably splitting the Cowboy vote.

 

[Bigdog]

I rather have Dak or Zeke be the MVP of Super Bowl winning Dallas Cowboys

This thread is a joke.

More from the article...

Case for Prescott: He's the starting quarterback on the league's best team. Not only is he a nimble decision-maker who protects the ball and manages the game responsibly, but he also has shown the ability to hit a big throw down the field in a big spot. After the Cowboys went 1-11 without Tony Romolast season, there'd have been value in any replacement who could even be competent. Prescott has been much more, to the point of taking Romo's job.

Case against Prescott: As with fellow rookie Elliott, Prescott benefits from the brilliance of his offensive line. Add in Elliott and wide receiver Dez Bryant as big-time playmakers at vital positions, and there are few quarterbacks in the league whose surrounding cast puts them in a better position to succeed.

-----------------

LOL at "He's the starting quarterback on the league's best team."

Way to make it sound as if he's merely along for the ride... and not a primary reason that they're the league's best team.

No mention of the fact that he leads the league in QBR.

No mention of the fact that he's been DOMINANT in 4th quarters.

No mention of the fact that his defense is the epitome of AVERAGE.

The Cowboys go as Dak goes. He deserves EVERY BIT of credit for our 10-1 record as Carr/Brady get for their teams' 9-2 records.

(But of course, if you concede THAT fact, then that would make Dak the clear MVP. And we know the haters can't do that.)

Nope, no persecution. And this is my one and only post in this thread; I'm not going to contribute to 20-plus pages.

They are stealing votes from one another.

I would be fine with Carr winning it TBH.

Don't get the Brady love, unless it's an **** you to Goodell.

I should've been more clear. They're polling ESPN "experts", not fans.

Why are you guys hung up on this MVP or Rookie of the year stuff. Who cares we need the big prize #6 that is the most important thing, not the individual awards. Let them have it, we will bring home the real hardware.

Yeah, because it's one or the other. Can't have both even if they deserve both.

Carr has far worse numbers and a worse record than Dak. So why on Earth does he deserve it over Dak?

 

[DFWJC]

Derek Carr really does have an argument

 

[TheCount]

The writers should do something original and vote the entire OL for MVP.

 

[Future]

You could make a case for all 3 of those guys...

 

[Nav22]

This thread is a joke.

Go back to playing Gears of War, you winner.

Let's hear it.

How is he more deserving than Dak with worse numbers and a worse record? Raiders have a great OL and great playmakers too.

EVEN IF you wanted to give it to Carr, how is it fair that Dak is FIFTH???

Did I say anything about Dak?

I don't know about MVP, but I do know Zeke and Dak are tied together for ROY.

There's no way one should get it over the other. They are as complimentary of each other as it gets. You could argue neither would get the award without the support of the other. It's a once in a generation or more occurrence.

Just like the SB MVP XII combination of Randy White and Harvey Martin together, the ROY should go to both players.
History made again by the Cowboys.
