MVP awards don’t go to Cowboys quarterbacks. They just don’t. Roger Staubach never won an MVP, in all of his campaigns that led Dallas to Super Bowl appearances, win or lose. He finished second in 1971 and had back-to-back fourth finishes in his final two seasons, 1978 and 1979. Troy Aikman captained three teams to Lombardis, but never took home the hardware, his best finish being fifth in 1993.
Tony Romo had one of the better seasons in recent years in 2014, leading the league in completion percentage, touchdown percentage, passer rating and QBR in a year Dallas tied for the league’s best record, but could only finish in third place as Aaron Rodgers took the trophy. Now, Dak Prescott is making his second go at the big award, as he is enjoying an exemplary campaign.
