Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a plausible 6-3 2023 campaign. As for the lifelong Cowboy quarterback, he entered Wednesday tied for the ninth-best odds to win NFL MVP, according to FOX Bet.
On Tuesday’s edition of “First Things First,” cohost Chris Broussard argued that Prescott is being slated too low for the award.
“I think he’s [Prescott] in the conversation. I don’t think he’s at the top, but I definitely think he’s in the conversion, and I think 11th is wildly insulting,” Broussard said. “There’s 11 [teams] that are 6-3 or better and the quarterbacks of those teams that aren’t in the MVP race, here they are: Kenny Pickett, Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, Jared Goff, Brock Purdy, Geno Smith; Dak’s numbers are better than all of those guys. Dak should be in there.
“[Patrick] Mahomes and Jalen [Hurts] and Lamar {Jackson], we view those guys as the reason their teams are winning. We think of those guys as ‘this is the reason they’re a great team.’ Dak we think is a big part of the reason, but he is not the reason, and I think that’s why it’s so low. But that’s way too low.”
Micah Parsons: “Dak Prescott should be in the MVP conversation”
FOX Sports NFL Analyst Greg Jennings went a step further on Wednesday’s edition of “The Carton Show,” opining that Prescott has a legitimate chance of winning the award.
“What we came into the season hoping that he [Prescott] didn’t do was throw the ball away to the opposing team; he has not done that this year,” Jennings said. “He had one game in the game that we all understood was the biggest game of his season thus far, San Fran, where he threw three interceptions. Outside of that game, he’s not turning the ball over. For me, when you look at what Dak Prescott is doing and the body of work, yes, he’s in the conversation. …
“If he continues to play like this, his team is good, we know they’re gonna be a playoff team, he will end up being the MVP.”
