News: PFN: Micah Parsons Makes Feelings Clear on Jerry Jones and the Hate He Gets From Dallas Fans

[slick325]

What it sounds like Micah is referring to is Jerry Jones the owner of the Dallas Cowboys. Not Jerry Jones the GM. There is a distinction.

Podcaster praise his CEO for money.

Nothing new here.

This is what I don't get.......why do fans let Parsons's mouth get under their skin? Especially the fact he's not attacking them ......kinda like the "shut up and dribble" crowd. We have seen him repeat some of the same concerns fans have had for years, but since it comes from him, let's trade him or he talks too much.

Micah is a walking distraction. He's not just talking when reporters ask him questions. He is actively commenting on teammates and starting conversations on his podcasts and social media. How does that play in the locker room when teammates have to answer questions about his comments about them? At Some point, Dallas will once again rediscover that culture matters.

As an employee on a sports team ....... I would prefer a GM who wants to, and actually makes football moves, to be successful and win a Superbowl.

Sucking up to players is not the job of the GM.

I think Micah believes that Jerry wants to do that. He's made comments in that regard. He's simply not jaded like us. He's not a long time Cowboys fan who sees the history of what's been done, or not done. He is more like the casual fans who would not be part of a board like this one. As a player, he's fully invested and believes a GM who takes care of his players wants to be successful and win a Super Bowl.

So let's see how much Micah holds Jerry to pursuing quality free agents after his meeting with the dumbest GM in the NFL

I don't think Micah will hold Jerry to anything. Jerry is his boss, a boss that is going to pay him a whole lot of money and takes care of his players. I make requests of my boss, but I don't make demands because I value my job. Now, that doesn't mean I wouldn't leave for a better job, but Micah knows he's not going anywhere any time soon because he's under contract and then the team can franchise tag him if necessary.

Most employees are more concerned about their personal situation over the success of the company.

How many people would take less money if it meant your company was more successful?

I think too many fans forget that the NFL is a business first.

Link?

I dont know man. Go dig through the Schottenheimer threads. I dont care enough to work at it. If I saved a link for everyone who said they were leaving I'd need more storage.

Parsons' statement makes me wish we could trade him for 3 no.1s

I hate the whole quoting number of first rounders to get back in a trade, as something meaningful. For example, Tennessee’s first rounder in 25 is worth more than Philadelphia next three first rounders. I wish everyone would just start quoting Jimmy Johnson draft value points instead of something meaningless… Like number of first rounders is…

Taking “care of your players” isn’t necessarily what makes you a good GM. What makes someone a good GM is knowledge AND the ability to act on that knowledge with decisions that maximize the chances of winning a championship on a consistent basis.

Jerry has little to no in depth football knowledge. He’s full of useless platitudes and memetic quips. He knows what any drunk knows that’s pulled up next to you on Sunday at a local bar while you watch football.

Of course from the perspective of paying his players, he’s a “good” GM/owner, but that literally could be said about almost all owner/GMs, which makes the term “good”, in that context, utterly and practically meaningless.

Exactly my point, jerry will open the wallet, make Micah the Highest paid, and we won't hear a peep about free agents

From Micah? I still think he'll say he would like this guy or that guy to come to Dallas and call for it, but I don't think he'll call the Joneses on the carpet for not getting them. Who would do that to a boss treating him well and richly rewarding him? I think if we're expecting Micah to rebel against it, we're asking too much. Just because we're outraged to that extent does not mean he is.

It seems that way to me. We either want players to take less to play for our team or to stand up to his bosses or any other of the things we believe we'd do in that situation, when hardly any of us would do it if playing in the NFL was our job.

 

[JayFord]

If I worked for Jerry? Yes he’d be a A+ GM, his job is still to get players paid and make sure they have a future outside of football he takes care of you and that’s hard to find

As a fan? I want this man gone immediately

 

[Ironicalicon]

Being good to your players and putting together a team is not the same thing.

 

[Ranching]

That's just a man working his boss for a raise. It'll probably work.

He's not stupid. Anyone making fun if another man for wanting to maximize his worth, especially in a job like this....now, that's pretty stupid.

 

[Praxit]

...take that, Jerry haters. ....(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)

 

[Coogiguy03]

Ya'll still think he's gonna take a pay cut for the team?

This is "please, pay me all the money" talk.

Mark my words. This dude will quit as soon as he gets that contract. I've never been more sure about it than I am with Parsons. He likes the influencer lifestyle too much.

Post of the night! It'll give me something to make posts about lol

Zzzzzzzzz….

Right. Winning of course makes it more fun but the business at hand is making money. As much as you can for as long as you can.

Problem for fans is all they have is winning. There’s no money in it for them.

 

[foofighters]

Even Micah doesn't get it. Jerry, the owner, should take care of his players. The GM makes the hard decisions.
