Cowboys still haven't recovered from Parsons trade yet

It was for GB. I can't believe they agreed to it!

I was actually shocked that GB gave us 2 firsts for a one dimensional player. Parsons is Robert Quinn. Great pass rusher, poor run stopper. Did y'all see the way GB continuously ran right by him in that playoff debacle????

And Micah’s body isn’t meant to take that punishment for a full season. He should have stayed at LB.

Which many of us said from the beginning. I think he would've been close to a HOF LB. DE? He's just an afterthought.

Since the D needed to be completely revamped, it's simply too early to make this assertion. You keep leaving out the fact that our D sucked w/ Parsons(28th), and it takes more than a season to rebuild an area of the team. Unfortunately Jerry is going for a quick fix. That means it might be good in 27, but it won't last long when you're trading for/signing players who are already in their late 20s.

To put it plainly, there wasn't anything to recover from.

I’d argue at 28th didn’t suk as bad. We at least had a pass rush which helped mask weakness in secondary .

And with a pass rush and not bottom of the league and or historical bad defense with Dak and our offense would have been more of a playoff contender .

Until we can return to playoffs we haven’t recovered. And I’m not just talking defensively.

1st 3 years were a playoff team with Parsons and 4th year Dak was out. Everyone expected us to be a playoff team last year with Parsons. However marginal that was.

So until our defense had that limited ability , enough to aid us returning to playoffs, then I’ll argue we haven’t recovered. At least not yet. I think that’s fair.

I’m not ruling out we might recover at some point in seasons to come. If of course Jethro makes better decisions. Who knows if this season collapses we might be starting all over again next year. Time will tell. So far I’d argue we have failed to rebound, recover , however you want to describe it.
