MVP Race Heating Up

00:00 Last week Dak Prescott did not look MVP like. However, does his name still deserve to be in the mix for NFL MVP?
00:09 It's fortunate for those who put value in this, put stock in this. Did Jalen Hurts look like an MVP?
00:16 No.
00:17 At Seattle? Did Josh Allen do anything in the Buffalo game against Dallas as an MVP?
00:22 Even he himself said, "It was like I was in a group project in high school and I got an A even though I didn't do anything."
00:29 You've all been there. A little bit. Not us very much. You've all been there.
00:33 You're not leading the group on it.
00:35 That's what I'm talking about. So does that mean now it's just Brock Purdy all by himself? Because Tyree Kill didn't play.
00:42 What about Lamar Jackson?
00:44 Lamar Jackson should not be overlooked here.
00:46 Tyree Kill?
00:47 And Tyree Kill, who I think the Cowboys are going to see this week because I think he wants to be seen.
00:52 Oh for sure.
00:53 Yeah, there's still good names in this. There's still time. It's funny though. This is such a recency bias conversation and award.
01:02 Brock Purdy's 49ers lost three games in a row a couple months ago and nobody remembers.
01:08 Now everybody remembers that the Eagles have lost three games in a row.
01:12 Like that's somehow different than those three games.
01:15 The Cowboys and Dak Prescott still have the time to make their case.
01:19 And yes, I think inarguably somewhere along the line, whether it's some third place votes or whatever,
01:26 that Dak Prescott's going to continue to be in this conversation and well deserved.
01:30 And while Micah Parsons maybe yaps about this kind of thing too much,
01:37 he is absolutely right when he ponders why critics of the Cowboys, national media, fans too sometimes, local media sometimes,
01:46 why they sit and wait for Dak Prescott to make a mistake and then say, "See, told you, he can't be an MVP."
01:55 But he has been an MVP for four months he's been an MVP.
02:02 There's a little bit more to go here, almost another month to go.
02:06 If we're going to pounce on every guy every time he throws an interception or fumbles or doesn't score a touchdown,
02:11 well then nobody gets to be the MVP, which would be fine by me by the way because I'm a little sick of it.
02:16 [LAUGHTER]
