NBC's Tony Dungy joined the show to break down Week 9 in the NFL.
Dan asked Dungy about Brett Favre's season and whether or not he's a bona fide MVP candidate. Dungy said Favre's right up there with Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. Dungy pointed out that Favre is in a great situation -- in part because defenses key on Adrian Peterson, and also because he knows the system.
"The difference between Minnesota and the Jets for Brett Favre is the familiarity of the offense," Favre said. "He's now running an offense he ran for 16 years."
Dan also asked about the two quarterbacks in Sunday night's Cowboys-Eagles showdown. Dungy said both Donovan McNabb and Tony Romo need to win a Super Bowl to satisfy their fan bases. Dungy said McNabb has done everything except win the big one. Romo, on the other hand, is compared to Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach, which also isn't fair.
Dungy likes the Eagles to beat the Cowboys in Philly on Sunday night.
"It's all going to be about the quarterback position," Dungy said. "If [McNabb] gets time to throw and they don't pressure him, it's going to be a long day for the Cowboys. |
