NFL Predictions: Every team’s MVP for the 2020 season
Dallas Cowboys: QB Dak Prescott
The most disrespected man in Dallas continues to light up the boxscore and develop as a passer year after year. Dak Prescott passed for an incredible 4,902 yards and 30 touchdowns as he spearheaded one of the best offenses in the NFL and the best overall in total yards.
Prescott spread the ball around to his weapons as the Cowboys featured two 1,000 yard receivers in Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup and nearly a third as slot receiver Randall Cobb finished the season with 828.
The knock against him, and the Cowboys as a whole, was that they beat up on bad teams and stumbled against playoff contenders. Some of that can be chalked up to coaching and they certainly upgraded in that category with the hiring of Super Bowl-winning head coach Mike McCarthy.
In addition to the coaching upgrade, Dallas added more firepower on both offense and defense and may have the best receiver group in the NFL after drafting CeeDee Lamb in the first round. Prescott will play the 2020 season under the franchise tag and is officially in “prove it” mode. He will have plenty of weapons to help him put up numbers but the only thing that matters now in Dallas is winning.
