Green Bay won the trade

[Majic]

Can we all agree that Micah wasn't helping our defense win anything important? And can we all agree that, for the most part, our defense has been much better with the guys we acquired?

Let's call the trade what it is: Mutually beneficial.

No. I'm not agreeing with that. If we had added Williams to go with Parsons we are talking a different ball game

 

[Cmac]

Wow......this trade verdict is still out.....leave it alone. We have to wait until the offseason and draft. This team, I've been trying to help you realize anything happening this year is a bit of fool's gold (we aren't a playoff contender this year)..........poor start & poor individual performances are simply too much to overcome and many players we see, need to be gone. 2026 season and Jerry doing deals and management decisions will determine the Parson trade verdict. Priority #1 is this defense, without question. R-E-L-A-X. The most important issue this year is hope we don't have major injuries to key players. Know it's troublesome that the ball is in the Front Office's hand........again.

Parsons is currently ranked 3rd in sacks with 12.5 . And he has made some big plays in key parts of games this year. Packers are a tie away from first place. And my instincts tell me they are my dark horse to represent N.F.C. in the Super Bowl if the Rams should fail.

Packers have enough beef up front that Micahs mediocre run stopping abilities are not an issue in their defense. They just needed someone who could come up with game changing pressures in key situations late in games.

And he has become that guy for them. The perfect icing on a cake. Packers are in win NOW mode. And they just might go all the way. While Dallas is stuck in the annual okie doke and "we'll git 'em next year" mentality.

after three decades of this clown show it's pretty clear that JJ would rather lose perpetually than hire someone who would be credited with taking the Cowboys to a super bowl.

JJ has literally let Jimmy Johnson in his head for all these years. He has proved someone else other than Johnson could win a SB but he has taken it to far. He makes sure to have enough control of the team to keep them from winning a SB. If we ever did he would not let anyone else hold the trophy.

 

[StarLord]

Very true. Parsons is much more valuable on a D like the Packers who just need him for the one thing he does very well. As opposed to the Dallas D that needed him to be the savior.
You can't grade any trade that includes draft picks who haven't been drafted yet, LOL. Dallas can still come out fine, they just have to use the draft picks wisely.
I disagree with you on one thing - Packers aren't winning a Super Bowl either - they got the wrong QB for that. Love isn't the guy to take them there. I don't believe in him at all.
In a few years, neither the Packers or Cowboys will have won any Super Bowls. The Packers will be paying an aging and breaking down one trick pony a ridiculous amount of $, and hopefully the Cowboys have some good exciting players from the picks.

You say picks, but it's just the one. You can kind of look at one of 2 ways:

The Micah trade nets Clark and 2.5 years of QWilliams.

Or

Clark, half of the 2.5 years of QWilliams, and the 1st for 2026.

So I guess it depends how much of a difference QWilliams will make the next 2 years.

We clearly -- clearly -- lost the trade concerning this year. Any way you slice it a full off-season and season of Micah > half a season of QWilliams.

And the full off-season is important. The coaching staff, challenged though they may be, planned the entire season's defense around Micah.

The Dallas Cowboys in their current form were sunk when Jerry handed that ridiculous extension to Prescott. It pretty much guaranteed this team was going to go nowhere.

If he didn’t then another team would have. Look how much more parsons got. Like him or not he is a top 10 starting QB in the league and the next qb will get more than Dak. Problem with JJ is he waits to long to sign and then ends up paying the new highest at the position. He likes to do that to flaunt his money. That would be fine if there was no salary cap. But there is and it leaves the team broke. Diggs was a bad signing. Bland not a good idea. Our Defense improves when he did what we screamed for. Get a big man that can play in the middle. We have to learn to ask the opposite of what we want from him.

 

[Johannes44]

If he didn’t then another team would have.

So let them. Show me an example of a team actually overpaying for a QB and it going well? This concept that we should overpay for a guy because of what someone else will do is frankly baffling.

 

[75boyz]

The previous 2 games it looked like Dallas won the trade with their overall defensive line improvement.

This game not so much as who knew how Clowneys absence would be so impactful.

 

[Redsfan_83]

You guys are over the top, out of control today.....I don't have the strength or stamina even to try to explain how this thread is ridiculous after just one bad game.

 

[Mark]

I still think the Parsons trade was a good one...an inspired, courageous move that has, and will continue to work out for DAL in the long run.

Micah is a much better overall fit for the Packers than he was for the Cowboys. Which is precisely the situation with Pickens in Dallas rather than Pittsburgh.

Are we really going to do this? Are we going to have a weekly analysis of this trade after every win or loss? Parsons is gone. He didn't want to be here anymore. Parsons was part of the gutless teams that can't beat winning teams on the road outside of our division. Pining for him now is redundant.

This assumes that we don't want to learn from mistakes...

We have a winner. Someone that tells the truth, based on the facts. Not feelings. Move on guys and gals. We got our butts handed to us by the better team.

This. Also, as I correctly predicted, we lost. It's about what I felt would happen. I always felt St Brown wasn't that hurt. Knew he'd play. Yet we had fans running their mouth about him not being available. This was a classic Dan Campbell charade. Many got duped. They saved him for this game last week when they knew the GB game couldn't be won. As a precaution. Smart move. Last, watch us win the next 4 and get in the tourney. Anything can happen in front of us. It's a matter of us handling our business. The next 2 are very winnable. Then we gotta polish off the last 2.

Yeah but $40 mil+ for a couple qb pressures is a lot

 

[MarcusRock]

Parsons being here would mean we cant stop the run at all. And the sacks would not help us. And we would have no money.

Well, now we need someone who can deliver sacks. We had a single coverage sack against Philly and I said it then that against the power teams, that wasn't going to cut it. So last night, same single sack compared to Dak being harassed all night and we got rolled. As for the money, if Jerry signs Parsons when he and the agent approached after year 3, the rate then was $35M which is the same salary we were rumored to be chasing in Maxx Crosby earlier. He'd be among the cheapest of the top pass rushers and would have been attractive to trade if we changed our mind. That's if we had foresight, that is. But we don't. We could have had Q and Parsons both.

We weren't winning with Parsons. We're not winning without him. Because at the end of the day, we still have Jerry.

 

[gimmesix]

We could have had Q and Parsons both.

Yeah, we're used to either/or. Our front office doesn't trade a first and second for Quinnen if we have Parsons. Now, Quinnen will rot here as we fail to pair him with a premium pass rusher. I mean, I think Eze is going to be a good one, but we need a gamewrecker who will regularly beat one-on-one blocking.

 

[Rayman70]

Jerry doesn't put on a uniform and play nor call the defense. However, he did hire the DC. Bad hire

 

[ShiningStar]

You should have named this thread, “Is it too early to revisit the Micah trade, Again?”

no, hes half correct.

Parsons won twice,

The trade goes like this, Pay Parsons what he is worth and lose, or dont pay Parson and still lose. Parson does a Ware, goes to a team with a chance, wanting to win.


He wins twice.

Visit it 15 million times, the end result is still the same.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

There are going to be a LOT of salty comments around here once the post season starts and we watch Micah go into game wrecker mode while our guys are off to Cabo once again.
