The discussion going around Dak Prescott’s MVP race evokes a range of complex emotions. Prescott’s stellar performance for the Dallas Cowboys recently was nothing short of striking.
All-round football enthusiasts widely celebrate his domination over the Seattle Seahawks, a victory marked by 299 yards, three touchdowns, and a remarkable 70.7 percent completion.
The QB now has a 70% completion rate spread over 11 games so far has been highlighted.
He has also pitched in an impressive 2,935 passing yards, 23 passing touchdowns, and a mere six interceptions, all while boasting a career-high 107.4 passer rating.
LeSean McCoy of FS1 Speak has been an unexpected wildcard in this saga.
His peculiar perspective on Dak Prescott’s MVP run has caught the attention of football fans.

Despite Prescott’s impressive performance, LeSean McCoy, an FS1’s Speak panelist, presented an odd case against his MVP candidacy.

Although he acknowledged that Prescott was “playing the best football I’ve ever seen him play,” McCoy steered the conversation into a disconcerting debate around Prescott’s worthiness for the MVP award.
Let me get this straight…
So pretty much you want to see DAK throw picks and shit ??? You wanna see DAK do bad ?? Now that DAK is proving all you 🤡 wrong the goal post switches to can we see him do this when he throws a pick 🤡🤡🤡 also wasn’t Buffalo a 6-5 team when?? Nvm 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/U6AvLIMIPE— Queen Bella 💋🤘🏼 (@Queen_Belllaa) December 2, 2023
“We need to see Dak miss a read, throw a pick, we didn’t see that. Fumble, what happens. We need to see that. How do you respond? Because normally, when I see him respond, it’s ain’t responding like that. It ain’t responding with a whole three or four touchdowns. It ain’t that. So that’s what I want to see. When things are going bad…when he misses up, how he responds.”
James Jones, another Speak panelist, strongly pushed back against McCoy’s argument.
He emphasised that Prescott’s consistency devoid of errors and turnovers is indeed commendable.
While acknowledging Prescott’s praise, McCoy seemed unwilling to give him due credit, repeatedly resorting to “but, but, but.”
McCoy’s counter-argument seemed to rely on a strangely circular logic. He suggested that to earn the MVP title, Prescott should first play poorly, then improve greatly.
The notion that Prescott’s excellent performance this season was not enough to merit MVP consideration was met with wide-scale surprise.
