Micah Parsons has once again stood in favor of his quarterback Dak Prescott. After defending him from several criticisms from the media, this time he advocated the QB for this year’s Most Valuable Award (MVP). In his podcast, the linebacker said that he does not have any other name except Dak Prescott for the MVP Award.
Micah Parsons said:
Without a doubt, I think Dak Prescott had the better year. Look at the Ravens defense, they just won the triple crown. They had the best defense in the NFL this year without a doubt. There's balance to it. Lamar played great and obviously he's going win MVP because how the media looks at it, but Dak played the best football in the NFL as a quarterback.Micah Parsons on The Edge
Parsons has been one of the most reliable lieutenants of the quarterback. He has tried to protect the quarterback from the outside scars. This became relevant when Emmanuel Acho, one of the analysts criticized Prescott after one of his poor games. Parsons took the upper hand and hammered the analyst with his hot claims.
The Ravens and the Cowboys both have cemented their places in the playoffs. The Ravens, being the best team in the NFL, secured the No.1 seed spot in the AFC. On the other hand, the Cowboys earned the second spot in the NFC and also secured a place. The Ravens have achieved a bye and the team will play the Divisional playoff round directly. The Cowboys will play the Green Bay Packers in the Weekend Wildcard round.
This season, Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson have had a tough competition. They both have carried their teams on their shoulders. Prescott has worked a lot on his turnovers and interceptions. As a result, he was left with nine interceptions. He announced that he would not have more than 10 interceptions and he kept his promise. At the end of the season, Prescott had 4,516 yards covered with 36 TDs (highest among the quarterbacks) and nine interceptions. Jackson, on the other hand, had 29 TDs (passing and rushing combined) and seven interceptions.
Parsons continued:
No one can tell me differently. The stats, the film, the plays he's been able to extend, what he did this year. He is by far my MVP. Overall, if you look at years statistically and performance, Dak Prescott has been the best quarterback in the NFL. Dak is the MVP, point blank period.Micah Parsons on the MVP discussion
A lot of analysts said that these two teams would play in the Super Bowl this season. It is to be seen whether they manage to make it to the playoffs.
