I hope you are being willfully ignorant.

If Micah’s back was an issue that would prevent him from playing, why is he waiting until a week before the game to get a second opinion on it?

Using your brain and context clues, is it possible that the reason why he wants a second opinion on his back is because he is contractually obligated to play in order to get his game day checks? If he has a football related injury, he would not have to play and still get paid. Do you think it’s possible that he has a financial interest in having a back injury?

When exactly did the first opinion come in?

Seems like the MRI is recent. Why did the Cowboys wait so long? Just as, if not more, valid a question as what you're posing.

Where is 200 vs 21 coming from???

Jerry offered him a new contract, his agent passed. The new contract was not 21. That is what he is making now.

He's making $21 million guaranteed on the fifth-year option. Jerry says his offer would have made Parsons the highest-paid defensive player in guaranteed salary, which means the guaranteed amount was $200 million-plus.

So why would he be holding out and missing games?

He seems to be leaning towards manufacturing a back injury in order to defraud the Cowboys out of a gamecheck he wouldn't be entitled to unless he plays.

I think this is the easy view to take and I admit it does have that feel to it, and Micah’s not helping shape people’s opinions with his sideline demeanor and actions in general.

However, let’s say he’s got concerns that things don’t feel right and he wants confirmation from a source outside of Cowboy land that all is well. After all, at present he may be experiencing some trust issues with all things Cowboys. Fine, get your 2nd opinion.

But if Dr. #2 draws a conclusion counter to the Cowboys staff, I’d have to ask the questions of Micah, “How’d this happen, when did this happen, how long have these symptoms persisted, in what ways were you aggressively seeking medical attention, etc…etc.?” This could smell a little bit like an asthma field situation but certainly no one on the property would have the minerals to call him out on it.

Either way, and if there’s a 3rd scenario that could be playing out, Cowboys fans have the right to roll their eyes.

There isn’t anything wrong with his back, he’s just looking for an excuse not to play so he doesn’t miss game checks. If there was an issue with his back that would keep him out for over a month someone would find something wrong with it. It’s all BS!

He's claiming back tightness, which he could have without it being a diagnosable back problem. We all know it is something he would play through if he got his bonanza big deal, but that doesn't mean he's not having tightness. He is using it as an excuse, though, but probably justifying it in his mind because of the risk he would be taking to play without securing the mega guarantee.

 

[gimmesix]

So why would he be holding out and missing games?

Because he doesn't want to risk losing $200 million guaranteed by getting hurt. He'd still get his $21 million guaranteed, but a career-ending injury would take away the bigger guaranteed payday.

However, he's apparently trying not to lose the $21 million by milking his back tightness as a legitimate reason for him to miss games and still get paid as an injured player.

cowboys: you’re good to go..

Micah: idk about that .. let me go see someone else.

what a disaster

Cowboys: you're good to go.

Micah's agent: listen man...

 

[gimmesix]

I liked Land, but I have no idea how he did after he was claimed.

If Micah had legit concerns about his back, he had months to bring it up. He wasnt hankering to get it checked out in April or May. He knows gis body better than the Cowboys. Tell them earlier. Seek treatment earlier. He is only brining it up now because the game is coming up. Why make excuses fir him?

It’s a negative opinion based on nothing.

I just posted 5 links that agree with the opinion.

When does the non-related football injury card played by Jerry? He certainly didn’t ‘injure’ it while practicing

 

[Floatyworm]

Sorta seems like they’re ready to trade Micah. Team is stacked with DE’s.

So ready to move on....

While Sumo Wrestling

Roy Williams brought the wood before the NFL changed the rules. He straight up folded anyone coming across the middle.

Also a couple years ago the hit on Giants QB Daniels towards the sideline. IIRC his teeth got jacked up from the hit.

My first thought was Roy Williams.....

Too Tall. 'nuff said:

This one was a harder hit in my memory than it actually is looking at it now, but it's still pretty hard:

Man I miss how football used to be...

Good for them. They don’t have a clue either.

 

[Tabascocat]

I don’t remember any Dallas big hit but I will never forget Golden Tate laying out Sean Lee in 2012.

The filmmaking was excellent. Not much new information coming out of this series. In fact, there was quite a bit that was either glossed over or left out completely.

Too bad the producers laid off Jerry and didn’t capture the juicier stuff. In the end, it was pretty much his show. Of course, Netflix had to play ball for that kind of access.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

So will this one, can't wait to talk about it in a few seasons hell might even be this year some time

When he really gets hurt because of missing TC and lack of conditioning. I can already hear the uproar on why he was signed.

 

[CWR]

The core of the team is pretty weak. Parsons and Lamb are top 5, but the rest aren’t. The interior of both sides of the ball are wet toilet paper. Dak is a huge question mark.

Tyler Smith, Beebe, and Booker are wet toilet paper?
