Dak will be MVP

[Cowbell]

Barring injury. Not that bold a prediction but I feel like this will be the year all his haters have to eat crow. Keeping up with the team here close to home and it sounds like they are right on track and they are the most talented Cowboys team in a long time. Now for a new GM....

[No BS Dawg]

I haven?t kept up as much as I should have, but what have they done defensively to improve to go with their offensive firepower?

[KOdawg1]

I think he's third behind Patrick Maholmes and Lamar Jackson

[msstate7]

Pretty bold. If I had a free bet on it at casino, I'd take Mahomes. He's great, has the name already, and his coach always gets great stats from the qb

[Hambone]

He’s going to have a good year, but he’s a long shot for MVP for sure.

[msstate7]

Jackson is the guy I'm most interested in. I think the ravens offense caught the nfl off guard some last year... be interesting to see if DCs have come up with plans to stop it.

I agree.

A new head coach that understands offense is the most major change. They are going to be using Zeke more in passing situations than before, especially since they have a really talented backup rb in Tony Pollard. CD Lamb has been the most impressive WR in camp so that gives him a third deep threat and since whiten is gone, they will be using their younger more athletic tight ends downfield (Blake jarwin). Their defense will be remarkably better. That front 4 will be one of the best in the league if they stay healthy.

[Cowbell]

Dak will also be playing with a chip on his shoulder due to the contract neglect. He has always played above himself in those situations.

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Dak can certainly win the MVP but the Cowboys will have to go deep into the playoffs for him to grab the award.

I agree with this 100%

I hope he don?t hurt himself Kneeling Sunday.

[StarkVegasSteve]

Dak will put up some big numbers no doubt but MVP is a bold prediction. I'd still take Mahomes. When that offense gets into gear its downright terrifying for defenses.

[FISHDAWG]

I hope he don?t hurt himself Kneeling Sunday.

Dak refused to kneel when that whole thing got started... He said he would always stand - Guess we will have to wait and see but I just don't see him kneeling

[Hambone]

ESPN had an article yesterday where they simulated the whole season.......

Cowboys vs Chiefs in the Super Bowl

https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/29548083/simulating-entire-2020-nfl-season-scores-storylines-all-269-games-plus-super-bowl-champion

IF this happens, Dak becomes the highest paid player in NFL.......

Have you heard of the football player named Patrick Mahomes?

[BeardoMSU]

Have you heard of the football player named Patrick Mahomes?

I think he means Dak will be in a position to demand a similarly sized contract if that season were to play out.

[Hambone]

Exactly. Mahomes reset the market.

Dak also plays for a certain owner who likes the flaunt that checkbook.

Well he had a chance to flaunt it this summer and now he will look like an idiot when it's all over.

Agree this will be one of the most interesting things early in year. I hope I am not but I am preparing myself to be disappointed. Hope I am wrong.

[Cooterpoot]

Can't win the MVP on a .500 team. That defense is going to be bad.

You are wrong on this. That D will be much improved.

[Cooterpoot]

You are wrong on this. That D will be much improved.

Because of who? The DC? The back end of that defense isn't good. The DL is depending on retreads and guys that have been in trouble. LB is the same injury prone, overrated bunch.

That DL is twice the group they had going into last season. And the backend is better now than it was last am season.

[Cooterpoot]

We'll have to disagree. Smith hasn't played in forever, Gregory still has issues, Poe is nothing special, and the best pick up is out for the year. Lawerence fell off after getting his contract too. And who on that back end is all pro? There's really not much back there at all. Woods and Thompson certainly aren't great. Let the best CB walk. I see nothing and most NFL folks agree with me.

[Kingbarkus]

I was surprised Pro Football Weekly did not have the Cowboys making the playoffs. Philly winning the division. Saints over Colts in the SB.

[BeardoMSU]

A good, albeit very sad, interview with Dak. Not hard to tear up watching this.

Thanks for posting those Beardo.. hadn't seen those. awesome videos.

[TheLostDawg]

I think that it's going to be like Dak year one vs two. When the DC have an off-season to study you, things can change significantly.

Like someone said about good qb getting paid. It's not how good you are compared with the other top qbs. If you're one of the top quarterbacks it's all about who is next in line for an extension. The salary cap goes up every year and is about to make a big jump. Expect Dak to get paid like he's number one or two.

[Cowbell]

Beardo and others - have you guys been tracking the comments made by Skip Bayless over Daks depressions discussions in these videos. Twitter is in an uproar.

I have been following that. It's great to see the mass support and praise Dak has received for opening up about that. I couldn't be more proud of that guy.

And I thought my opinions of Skip Bayless couldn't get any worse, but he continues to the lower the floor. Holy shit what a moronic, ignorant, and dangerous take. And to top it off, after he received widespread backlash, he essentially doubled down the next day, despite his attempt of a half-assed "apology" that still tried to paint his statements as correct. What a ****ing idiot. Fox Sports response they released was also pitiful.

My take is the exact same. I realize he creates controversy to get clicks, but he has placed his job in jeopardy over this. It will be interesting to see where it goes, because the ball is rolling and gaining steam. Many of the Cowboy and Dak haters are even backing Dak up on this.
