Former Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott has been impressive filling in for injured Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo in the first five weeks of the NFL season. It has led to an ongoing debate over whether Prescott or Romo should be the starting quarterback when the latter is cleared to play. Some have even talked about Prescott as a potential candidate for Rookie of the Year.
Fox Sports columnist Dieter Kurtenbach goes a step further, calling Prescott an MVP candidate:
It seems ridiculous to not put No. 9 back in once he’s healthy — Romo was an MVP candidate the last time he played a full season.
But Prescott is an MVP candidate right now.
He might even be the leader for the award through five weeks of the season.
Prescott led the Cowboys to a 28-14 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He was 18-of-24 passing for 227 yards and a touchdown, and also added a score on the ground.
