Heisman got it right. Dak threw too many picks in the redzone vs. Alabama and had a rating of 151.7 and 3,400 yards passing. Mariota took his team to the championship game and had a 181.7 rating with 4,400 yards. It isn't close.

Aikman: Dak was "the most impressive young player I’ve ever been around at QB"

after meeting him in their first pre-production meeting of the year.

Part of the Cowboys' success this year can be linked to Dak's leadership on and off the field. That aspect is not recognized, or not acknowledged by the detractors in the MVP discussions. I've been a Romo defender over the years, but he's not the type of leader Dak is. Not many are. Of course last year was a circus with the parade of QBs.

From a radio interview yesterday.

I really believed he was going to go out and play well. Before halftime of the game in his first start I was no longer looking at him and viewing him as a rookie. My analysis was along the lines of a veteran quarterback. It spoke volumes how he carried himself.

Prescott went to on win 11 straight games, making it an easy decision for the Cowboys to stick with him once Romo returned to health. Aikman agreed with the move then and now.

“He has passed every test,” Aikman said. “He has been through some tough ones too. He won on the road at Heinz Field against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has won at Lambeau Field. He has won when they they were down 14 against the San Francisco. He has done it throwing the football. He has done it running the football.”

“I think one of the greatest compliments about him is his offensive linemen came out and said they ‘love playing for him’,” Aikman said. “You don’t hear that a lot. These lineman love playing for him. You even hear defensive guys saying that about him. He is one of the guys in the locker room. They go out there and play hard for him.”

Also worth watching his Top 10 highlight video at the top.

I got chills watching that and listening to the commentary again.
