How can Dak not be the league MVP?

[Everson24]

When the news came out that Tony Romo had fractured his L1 vertebra, Everyone in the NFL thought "Oh no here comes 2015 all over again". We even contacted the Browns about trading for Josh McCown (Thank goodness Micheal Irvin helped in talking Jerry out of that move). Now fast forward to week 16 and we are one win away from home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. So as great as Zeke has been, How can Dak Prescott not be this year's MVP?

Lol, after last week people started to begrudgingly admit that the MVP talk was silly and unwarranted...and here it is, once again. This is crazy.

 

[SDCowboy]

Neither he nor Zeke will win it because they're both too important to the team for one of them to win it.

 

[big dog cowboy]

He isn't the leagues golden boy.

 

[sweetness0986]

Because Tom Brady.

And to think I was one of those saying we needed to get Tony ready. Even if we lose the last two games, going from and injured Romo to 12-4 with a fourth-round rookie is astounding.

 

[pugilist]

the fact that Brady, who missed 4 games, is even a candidate just proves how much of a joke that award is

 

[Super_Kazuya]

It's been talked about many times here in the last few weeks but there are certain unwritten rules for the MVP and he just doesn't qualify. The award is kind of weirdly rigged in that way.

 

[Everson24]

Because Tom Brady.

Explain to me why Tom Brady is more qualified for this award? I love Tom Brady but Belichick wins with multiple QBs. Jason Garrett is not Bill Belichick.

 

[DFWJC]

If MVP really means what the initials say it does, then no.
Love what Dak is doing but I don't see him as even a true MVP candidate (as in top 4-5), let alone the winner.

 

[Chevyman08]

Because Zeke is the MVP.

He's not, but he's Tom Brady. Politics.

If Tom (Miss Four Games for Suspension) wins it, I'll scream.

That said, he is THE Man! The GOAT as far as I'm concerned.

 

[FiveTime]

because the OL and Zeke are the mvp's of this team

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Neither he nor Zeke will win it because they're both too important to the team for one of them to win it.

the chirping I always hear, which I find to be extremely irritating, is that Dak and Zeke's success is due to our great offensive line

The same reason Romo wasn't in 14.

 

[links18]

Who cares? I remember when Favre won MVP, but Dallas won the Lombardi. I'll take that scenario again.

 

[DFWJC]

Because Zeke is the MVP.

He is the stronger candidate of the two, imo.

Which player on the Cowboy team would cause more harm if they went down?
Don't want to turn this into a QB thread, but some would argue Dallas would actually get better if Dak went down. lol I know...duck.
Anyway, nobody is even thinking of making that argument with Zeke.

 

[vicjagger]

Because Zeke is the MVP.

/\ This. Dak should be OROY.

 

[tyke1doe]

Because Zeke is the MVP.

I think Zeke will win it too. I say that because, no disrespect to Dak, but if you put any number of quarterbacks behind center with Zeke, the Cowboys are probably around 10, 11, 12 wins. But if you take away Zeke, I don't know if there are many other backs who could give you the same production in the running, receiving and blocking areas (he saved Dak from being crushed last night). Maybe David Johnson.

Also, the MVP is about wins and numbers. Dak's numbers are at the top in terms of passing yardage and touchdowns whereas Zeke is at the top in rushing yardage.
