Is Dak Prescott the NFL MVP front-runner?

[Proof]

Reslly feels too balanced between Dak, Zeke and the line. Be cool though.

 

[KJJ]

The MVP is an award that favors the QB and this team wouldn't be anywhere without Dak. Zeke has been great but no way are we winning 10 straight games without outstanding play from the QB position. Dak is having the greatest season any Cowboys QB has ever had.

 

[Dale]

No. Brady, Ryan, Zeke.

I feel like Ryan has fallen, or at least is vastly falling, out of contention. His team record just isn't going to be very good, and can the MVP come from a 10-6 type team?

I'd consider Wilson more likely than Ryan at this point, despite the stats.

 

[Dale]

Having Zeke is gonna hurt Dak. I could see them cancelling each other out of the MVP by the writers being split and the offensive line getting praised, with many using it to discredit his and Zeke's success. Zeke has been the better player at his position, but QB is the most valuable position in sports and more difficult to play than RB. For that, Dak should have the edge IMO


Brady's having the better season, but shouldnt get it unless he completely blows everyone out of the water by the end of the year and the Pats win out. He was suspended, not injured, and the Pats went 2-0 with their 2nd string QB and 1-1 with their 3rd string QB. It's called Most VALUABLE Player, not the best player.


Matt Ryan's also having a great season, but the Hawks are 6-4. Unless they win out at 12-4, he shouldn't be considered. Feel similar to Derek Carr. They would have to go at least 12-4 and finish as the #1 seed in the AFC to get it IMO.


Russell Wilson is having a good season and with him getting healthy, I could see him balling and the Seahawks winning out. The media could give him a lot of credit with that pedestrian O-Line and lack of a running game.

I agree. I also think the people who vote on this award are ultimately going to try to find ANYONE other than a rookie to give the award to.

The elephant in the room is our record. There's still a lot of games to be played, but our team's record might prove too difficult to ignore when voting on this.

Zeke is the MVP but the game today showed that Kirk Cousins is what you get with the great use of a 4th round draft choice. Dak Prescott is what you get with the Once-in-a-Lifetime use of a 4th round draft pick.

 

[TimHortons]

If Elliot keeps up this pace, it'll probably be between him and Carr. It should be the O-line, but we all know that won't happen unfortunately

 

[Elusive6thRing]

most people think it's brady or somehow wilson.

Yeah I don't see them giving it to either Zeke or Dak, I could be wrong but I don't think a rookie has ever won it and I don't see that changing. They'll give the credit to our offensive line and say how Wilson has a terrible o-line or give it to Brady.

 

[tyke1doe]

If Dak gets the Cowboys to 13-3, 14-2 or 15-1 and the top seed, he's going to get the MVP hands down.
I think Dak has surpassed Zeke now. Zeke gets taken out for spells yet the offense keeps on moving and scoring.
And as Dak does more with his feet like he did today, I think it's becoming clear that what he brings to this offense is just as valuable as what Zeke brings.

He is making a serious push at Zeke. Forget ROY, we are talking two legit rookie MVP'S.

It's seriously unbelievable. I mean, I routinely do this with my rookies in Madden, but still.

 

[JJHLH1]

Dak's stiff-arm today was awesome. He looked like a tight end pushing away a defender. Another reason he should win the MVP.

 

[Undisputed]

USA TODAY MVP Power Rankings had Zeke at 1, Carr at 2, and Dak at 3 before today's game.

It's gonna go down to the wire!

I had Zeke as MVP. Probably still do but the last 2 weeks has been about Dak.

The threat of our run game does open up EVERYTHING but then again you got downs like 3rd and 14 and he just drops it to Beasley in a bucket.

Yup, I'm not taking anything away from Prescott when I say Zeke is the MVP.

The scary thing about Dak is that he played like a third year veteran from his first game as a rookie. The truly frightening thing for opponents now is that he is developing the same rapport with Dez that he already has with Beasley and Witten.

 

[Maxmadden]

Zeke is a done deal as OROY.

But IMO Dak is more valuable.

This is wrong, Zeke is the catalyst for all things.

 

[zeke21]

Watch our first drive today.. dak was just a bystander as Zeke slashed the D for 47 yards and td. Then skins have to double down to stop the run and then we see Dak go to work.

Replace Dak with Romo and we still play at a high level.. take Zeke out and watch the carcrash that follows. Mvp will go to Brady anyway sadly

Leary looks like he's got som Thanksgiving Turkey on his mind.

Free looks like he just remembered he left the stove on.

 

[Beast_from_East]

They are never going to give the MVP trophy to a rookie, they are just not................like others have said, it will be Brady in all liklihood

 

[windjc]

If we finish 14-2 or better and Dak finishes the season with less than 4 interceptions and continues to average 105-110 passer ratings, then Dak is MVP. NO WAY Dallas has best record in the league and 12 game Brady gets MVP. No way.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

No. Brady, Ryan, Zeke.

Don't forget your boy Wentz.
