Been watching the Cowboys for 40 years and I think I always took for granted our legendary players.

Parsons looked so good his rookie year, people were throwing around the LT tag, which is not used lightly.

I wasn’t ready to go all in after his rookie season with so much disappointment lately and I was bothered by some of the social media and interview hype from him in the offseason. Was afraid we had another guy ready to put on the shades and bask in the Hollywood spotlight.

But folks — I think it’s official, we have the BEST defensive player in the NFL RIGHT NOW on our roster. 4 sacks his first 2 games his second season. As others have pointed out, his impressive pass rush stats are with far fewer attempts than the average Edge. He can run with anyone on the field. Physical skills are just freaky to watch. And his intensity this season off the field and pre-game has been great to watch. I can already see him becoming a leader. He makes so many players on this D better.

Enjoy this man while you can. For you young fans, someone like this does not come around often. I’m just glad that we drafted him.

YEah I remember Ware....and before that....maybe early Roy Williams? And Roy made special plays at time but this is something else. Glad we lucked into Micah.

I would money ball him on the basis that he most likely gets injured at some point...

Take the 10 First Round Picks for him now and wish him the best in the future

Absolutely and if he is not sacking or pressuring the QB he is making folks jump off sides or taking on and beating double teams. Fantastic to watch the guy play!

Imagine going TJ Watt over Taco but you know those rascally scheme fits will get you every time. BTW I hope he gets more run than the other HOFer and one of the best to ever do it Zack Martin.

Sigh. Who was the last Cowboys defender with the ability to take over and dominate games, Ware? Well he wasn't as good as Micah and he was drafted 15 years ago. So these guys don't come along very often and if he didn't fall in dumb and dumbers lap we wouldn't even be talking about it.

If I am Micah, I do exactly what Dak did only never sign the long term deal. Take the two franchise tags then leave.

Paying players is stupid.

We agree on the current QB but the players are the product and without stars nobody watches or buys jerseys. You have to pay your stars. Strange how that works.

Micah is the truth and Quinn gets the most out of him.
It seemed as though he and Dorance were on their own in second half but then a few key plays by others when we needed it

this defense can be special but the offense is gonna need to do more. I need Kellen Moore to not be stupid with his play calling

I think a drive can he going well then he gets stupid and we’re behind the chains
