We are all so grateful for your insights Joe. I'm going to deeply reflect on your words.

It could be that Parsons doesn't get credit for a TFL on the strip sack because technically he didn't tackle Ryan, he force a fumble which was recovered by another player. Looking at other player stats, I notice that Markus Golden has 9 sacks, 4 forced fumbles and only 6 TFLs. So, apparently strip sacks do not count as TFLs in Pro Football Reference.Good question but I don't have an answer for you.
I’m interested in what you come up with for last year. Jaylon isn’t, wasn’t and never will be Micah, but narratives get framed for a player and coach which may not be completely accurate. The noted economist Thomas Sowell made a very good point about labels or narratives. He argued that they can be akin to propaganda tactics because they often must be "repeated long enough and loud enough" until it is believed and people "cave in" to it and they become detached from the reality.Nobody here has ever, to my knowledge, actually tried to look at real data to make a comparison. It's all been subjective.
Since I work in science and data, I thought it would be interesting. If it's not your cup of tea, feel free to find someplace else to post.
How far down field was Jaylon making tackles last year? Curious too about LVE. All in comparison to this new star we have.
Quite interesting, I would have thought, for inquisitive fans here.

Absolutely. An honorable and class individual in a time of classlessness run rampant.One of my favorite humans, and that quote is poignant is it not? More so in today's world than ever.
Ignore the vocal minority or realists if you prefer to call them thatI don't know if I should bother posting on this forum anymore.
It seems to be drifting towards twitter-type posts that don't provoke thought, inspire good dialog, or help anyone learn anything. Since I often actually take time to research my posts...is it worth it?
Right now I'd have to say no.
He is and was not dwelling on anything you are just looking for someone to argue withYou obviously don't want to get over Jaylon tormenting you. Rather than just enjoying having Micah now, you have to dwell on the Jaylon years.

Joe, you were bashing the Parsons pick before it even happened. You were bashing him back in pee-wee leagues. Keep some perspective here.You obviously don't want to get over Jaylon tormenting you. Rather than just enjoying having Micah now, you have to dwell on the Jaylon years.
How much crow do you need me to eat before you let me on the Parsons bandwagon? Like it or not I'm on board.Joe, you were bashing the Parsons pick before it even happened. You were bashing him back in pee-wee leagues. Keep some perspective here.
I agree with enjoying the ride and watching an amazing athlete become a game changing NFL LB has been fun.
I get hammered for a good number of my posts, called everything from "newbie to football" to moron to idiot. I think some only read the title and go off the rails, lol. Most of us appreciate good posts.I don't know if I should bother posting on this forum anymore.

Can't do that on this forum,Name them....
Nonsense, do not let a small minority of posters sway your posting. It is best to ignore them and just keep doing what you are doing. You are part of a larger group that is not ill mannered and rude,I don't know if I should bother posting on this forum anymore.
