Updated NFL MVP Candidates: Dak Prescott

Transcript

00:00 Let's chat a little bit about quarterback Dak Prescott.

00:02 Now you and I have spoke about his MVP chances for the last month or so, but of

00:07 course now he's at the top of the candidates.

00:10 What do you see when you look around the league as far as the

00:13 contenders go for the NFL MVP?

00:15 If Dak Prescott and the Cowboys win out, which I think is unlikely.

00:20 I think the idea of going to Buffalo on an East coast trip, coming home and then

00:26 doing it again on an East coast trip to Miami, two quality teams.

00:29 That's yeah, that's, that's burdensome.

00:32 During the holiday season.

00:33 All of that, all that stuff.

00:35 And then of course you do get to come home and then you got another holiday

00:38 game against the Lions on Saturday night, the 30th.

00:41 Now that's the Jimmy.

00:42 Right.

00:43 So all those things, it's, it's grueling and emotional and all those things can

00:49 pile up, but if the Cowboys continue to do what they're doing, which is win, and

00:55 Dak keeps doing what he's doing, which is lead wins statistically and otherwise.

00:59 He'll win the MVP.

01:01 We could say the same thing though about Josh Allen.

01:04 What if, what if, what if they went out?

01:07 Right.

01:07 If they went out, Josh Allen will be the central reason.

01:10 And you know, he's going to get votes as we stand here right now.

01:13 Tua, Tyreek, Lamar Jackson.

01:16 Lamar should be in there.

01:17 For some reason, Lamar Jackson isn't always mentioned in the same class right

01:23 now as Dak and Purdy in the 49ers, but Lamar Jackson is central to everything

01:28 they do and has his MVP trophy already sitting on the mantle.

01:32 So, I think this is a week where you could lose the MVP.

01:37 If Josh Allen loses to the Cowboys, that may on national TV in front of everybody,

01:44 that could lose him some votes.

01:45 The same thing could apply of course, to Dak Prescott and the Cowboys.

01:49 Down the stretch, 49ers and Brock Purdy play the Ravens.

01:54 If Lamar Jackson beats Purdy and the 49ers, I think Lamar Jackson jumps up.

01:59 So this will be a fun month.

02:00 And of course, Dak will be the first to tell you, and I think all

02:03 of these guys would agree with this.

02:04 I'm not trying for the MVP.

02:06 I'm trying for team success.

02:09 And if team success comes at the highest level, the MVP trophy will come as well.

02:13 Mm-hmm.
