00:00 But it's still irresponsible what gets done to Dak Prescott on a regular basis.
00:04 And it's really, journalistically, it's really quite sad.
00:06 The fact is, if you combine the eye test with the numbers, you think Patrick Mahomes is
00:12 an MVP candidate this year?
00:13 He's like a, always an MVP candidate.
00:17 Dak Prescott is better than Patrick Mahomes.
00:19 Numbers wise.
00:20 He just is.
00:22 And when you say numbers wise, well also, 8 and 3, they're both 8 and 3.
00:27 A Cowboys win over Seattle, and you ask the Cowboys to have the second best record in
00:33 football.
00:35 So if you are the superstar quarterback, putting up better than Mahomes numbers, on the second
00:41 best record team in football, you are an MVP candidate.
00:45 And again, it's inarguable.
00:46 I don't care, you can talk about I didn't like his footwork, or he was drafted too low,
00:51 or I don't like the tattoo on his leg.
00:52 You would have to be making up something stupid to be anti-Dak Prescott as a candidate for
00:57 NFL MVP.
00:58 Do you feel like by the end of the year, Dak Prescott's MVP odds will be shorter than Jalen
01:03 Hertz?
01:04 You know, the Cowboys have this five game gauntlet.
01:07 Seattle, Philadelphia here, in this building, and then a really challenging east coast double
01:14 header.
01:15 Let's go to the snow in Buffalo, come home, thaw out, and let's go to the sauna in Miami.
01:21 That's tough.
01:22 Right over the holidays, no mention.
01:24 Correct.
01:25 And then, Detroit.
01:26 Then comes Detroit here.
01:27 That's a five game gauntlet.
01:28 Those teams combined record, entering the gauntlet, 38-17.
01:33 So that's daunting.
01:34 Whereas, in fairness, to your point about Philadelphia, they've already done a good
01:38 job.
01:39 They already did it.
01:40 They already did two of their five.
01:41 They didn't stomp the Chiefs.
01:45 They survived the Chiefs.
01:46 Which is what you've got to do in the NFL.
01:48 And they didn't stomp the Bills.
01:49 They survived the Bills.
01:51 And so, it's still, the upper hand still goes to the better team.
01:55 And as we speak here today, Philadelphia is the better team.
