Dak for MVP

As we approach the final weeks of the regular season, the MVP discussion has been heating up, but there is only one correct option for the award so far. That option is Dak Prescott. Prescott has had his best season this year as a pro and as of last week has propelled the Cowboys into 1st place in the NFC East. 

The Cowboys in general have had an unbelievable season, but that is all in thanks to their star quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott currently leads the league in touchdowns with 28 of them, possesses the second best QBR in the league, and has the fourth most passing yards as well. 

The numbers don't lie and along with that, the Cowboys have a 10-3 record, sitting atop the NFC. The Cowboys are winning lots of games, and they are winning these games handedly. In 8 of their 10 wins this season, the Cowboys have beaten their opponent by at least 20 points courtesy of Dak's phenomenal play. 

Dak went into this offseason with one goal, limit the turnovers and he has done so very effectively. So far this season, Dak only has 6 interceptions. Interceptions in the past for Prescott were his number one concern, but he has really limited them thus far. 

The thing that has always been the deciding factor with the fate of the Cowboys is how they transition from the regular season to the playoffs. In the past, they have been early round exits, but with the way Dak is leading the team this year, it is going to be hard to repeat this. 

In their wins, the Cowboys have been the most dominant team in the NFL and Dak has had a lot to do with that. There are definitely others in the race, but if the Cowboys can lock up the division this season and potentially grab the #1 seed in the NFC, the race should be all but over. If I was voting for MVP, Dak would certainly have my vote.
