Pick a team, any team and compare their LBs to the Cowboy LBs as a whole. Parsons, Neal, LVE, Smith, Cox, Gifford.

1) Which unit is more talented as a whole?
2) Would you swap the whole LB corps with that team’s LBs? All or nothing, not switching one or two LBs. You can base it on contracts, youth, potential, or whatever you want.

I’ll go with KC first since I just read an article on their LBs. William Gay (2020 2nd), Nick Bolton (2021 2nd), Darius Harris (UFA age 25), Anthony Hitchens (2014 4th), Ben Niemann (UFA age 26), and Dorian O'Daniel (2018 3rd) are the linebackers still on the active roster in Kansas City.

1) I think the Cowboys LB unit is way more talented than the Chiefs LBs as a whole.
2) I definitely would not swap.

Interesting to see if their is a team’s LBs someone here would swap all for all.

I’m not swapping with them because of age. David is 31 and JPP is 33. Id rather go forward with our talented and young core

Potential talent is there, but this bunch haven't even played a meaningful snap together, plus throw in A new scheme and coordination. Yeah, wait and see approach for me. Parsons is going to be a star for sure though.

Well, tough to say seeing as how after this season Neal, LVE, and possibly Smith are gone so are you talking this season alone or multi-season? Regardless, Parsons is unproven, LVE has to stay healthy, Smith is a bumbling showman, Neal needs to stay healthy, and Cox is unproven......so time will tell.

I will use TB their Corp is rated pretty top five. Lavonte Thomas is solid no doubt, but I don't think he compares to Micah plus Micah has 10 plus LBS and 2 inches on him and is a better pass rusher. IMO
Devin White is good for sure you hear allot about him particularly since they one the bowl last year, but he does give up negative plays no one talks much about it. I'll Take Micah any day and twice on Sunday over White.

Big thing for me is these guys have something to prove this year and I think they will, not many pundits will admit it, but we are "set up" to have one of the top LB Corp's in the league. Again IMO

So, pick a team and tell us which is more talented and if you would swap today. It would be multi-season.

I am not going to complain about the Cowboys LBs, but if they had a DL with a lot of talent they could get away with a much weaker group of LBs.

We don't know who will be gone. How they play this season and injuries will impact those decisions.

This reminds me of 2019, but at least LVE had am allpro year and Smith was a first time PB selection

I think for us to have one of the best either Jaylon or LVE are going to have to return to what they were a few years ago. I'd probably say LVE is the likely candidate. If you can get LVE and Parsons playing at a elite level WE MAY HAVE SOMETHING. And when I say elite level for Parsons....I mean having a season sort of like Chase Young had at his position.

Parsons, LVE, Neal, and Gregory is a good starting LB corps imo. I would assume Parsons lines up near the LOS, standing up, next to Lawrence (who is probably in three-point stance) most snaps and Parsons backs out into coverage, or sometimes blitzes.

We've seen it here before though, coaching matters. 6 Lawrence Taylor's running around not in the proper place or technique still don't make a difference. But if Quinn builds this thing like I hope, our LB's are gonna feast on flesh.
