I have no problem with Dak NOT getting MVP. We need him humble and hard working.

Look what happened to Cam the Dance Man? He won MVP, got all cocky, made stupid comments prior to the Super Bowl, got destroyed, and is having a sub-par year with his team just about out of the playoffs.

Dak doesn't need that right now. He needs to continue to work hard.

Cam was cocky in college. Dak's personality is not the same as Cam's.
I had the chance to meet Cam's dad during a 7on7 tournament this past summer. Once I saw him and heard him, I was like, "Yep, he accepted money for his son to play at Auburn." Up until that time, I had defended Cam.

I don't see him even being rookie of the year.

Rookie of the Year usually goes to the best rookie QB, unless none of them were any good.
Offensive Rookie of the Year usually goes to the best rookie RB or WR, or the 2nd best rookie QB if there are 2 that were actually good.

For the 2015 season the awards went Winston/Gurley. For 2014 they went Bridgewater/ODB.

in 2016 they should go Dak/Zeke. There is no rookie QB competition for Dak and no RB/WR rookie competition for Zeke IMO.

Both will make the Pro Bowl, and Zeke might make 1st team All-Pro.

I can't understand why we take Zeke out when we have 3rd and short or were in the redzone.

Dunbar offers no value in the redzone.

I'm thinking Linehan may be trying to take advantage of his speed in the passing game. That called-back TD when Smith held for him in a matchup with the LB.

That was the best play with dunbar since he came back, they did that at start of 2015 , threw to him a lot.

It makes plenty of sense if you look at Reggie Bush with the Lions. Linehan got in over 1000 yards passing.

did you mean bush?
I would like to see elliot get more flare passes, but D may watch him but sometimes he has been alone and dak never looks.

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?

I honestly just don't see them giving it to a Rook. Not to mention Matt Ryan is having a heck of a year. I'm not sure Brady is in the conversation this year because of his suspension, and his team going 3-1 without him.

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.
You mean Dak's numbers are NOT at the top in terms of yardage & TDs. He has one of the highest ratings, but is in the middle in terms of those other two items. Zeke & Dak cancel each other out. Brady will win-again.

I meant to say Dak is near the top; Zeke is AT the top.

You really think the NFL is gonna be eager to give the same Tom Brady that sued them for defamation another MVP trophy? I think Carr will get it unless he falls apart next two weeks. If he does I think Zeke has a chance.

No way are they going to give the MVP to a QB ranked 16th in TD passes and and 16th in yards passing.

It doesn't work like that.

If they gave it to the best player, it would go to Von Miller or Khalil Mack.

Brady has a 110 QB rating, Carr is at 95. Brady's team is 12-2 & is probably headed to another SB. Plus, if you go by wins & QB rating, Dak should get it over Carr, due to his 103 rating. The Cowboys had a 1,000+ yard rusher last season, & went 4-12 with mostly their backup QBs. With Dak & a 1,000+ yard rusher, they've gone 12-2. Then there's this...if Zeke averages 129 yards the next two weeks, & breaks Dickerson's rookie season record, it's going to get REAL interesting :). Brains will explode..lol!
