Green Bay won the trade

[exciter]

I agree, he is a generational pass rusher. Unfortunately, that particular position turned out to be less important to our defense than the middle of the D-line, especially since he wasn't particularly good at stopping the run.

If nothing else, the acquisition of QW has shown Jerry the importance of a great player to break down the middle of the opposing offense.

If we could have both, I'd love that, but we can't, and IMO, this is more conducive to a good defense.

Hmmm... they could have had Walter Nolan on a 5 year rookie contract???

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.

to me this can be said about many players like Micah, if the Cowboys would have paid him that contract it probaly wouldn't have given us the trophy so its an overpay... but because GB was adding the piece they think they needed to win then if they win its not an overpay... your correct in essence but because until this FO actually builds a team correctly no player is worth overpaying as they cant make the diference for the team. Yes Jerry should've let Dak walk because he wasnt going to drag this team to a trophy so its an overpay.

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.

Why not just butt out if this is your response?

Michael Rubins boytoy is running his mouth this week reminiscent of his time in Dallas. If he actually shows up in a December game this week in a high stakes game it'll be the first time he's ever done it and we can start to say maybe gb won the trade but as of today he's done the same thing he did here. December against good teams is where the real kittykat shows up. We'll see if he can change the facts.

It also depends on who we pick with the 1st rounder this year in addition to quinnen.

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.

Who cares about his sacks, he was with the Cowboys how many years????? How many playoff games did the Cowboys win with Parsons???? He's no different than Prescott currently is with the Cowboys, they've both racked up great career "ME" numbers, but neither have had a career filled with any post season success!

A good chance that Green Bay never wins anything and not having a 1st round pick for 2 years has them set up for failure.

Yup. His best december-beyond game coincided with daks best playoff game. Both against a walking dead bucs team. That's no coincidence. Again, when he has a big game December or beyond in a high stakes game it'll be his first one. He's basically been defensive version of Dak.

All that can be true and Micah still would have significantly boosted the entire defensive potential because he’s THAT good.

Not having Micah in the lineup made the dumpster fire defensive issues more like a five alarm skyscraper fire with multiple floors involved and people hanging from windows waiting and hoping to be rescued.

It was a mind numbingly stupid trade.

Well, since we were 28th last season w/ Micah, I still don't see how he makes that much of a difference on this clusterfudge of a D.

 

[kskboys]

The defense imploded because Jerry had a brand new coaching staff and surprised them six days before the opener by blowing up the entire defensive game plan by trading their best player and doing nothing for eight games to even react to the problem.

And we lacked starting quality players.

That would be true if that organization was run like the Cowboys. Look at the Packers compared to successful NFL franchises. Not the Cowboys. The Packers front office is more likely to produce a Super Bowl team with no 1st round picks for ten years than the Cowboys if they had all 32 first round picks for ten years.

You underestimate just how stupid Jerry Jones is regarding roster building. He should stick to nailing flight attendants and drinking Johnnie Walker Blue.

X a gadzillion.

Jerry is a true moron when it comes to running an NFL franchise. I find it hilarious that some still haven't figured that out yet.

Totally disagree! Parsons is a great passing down outside rusher, nothing more, nothing less! He isn't a player or linebacker who is in on running plays making tackles all over the field because he flat out dogs it, look at the games when he was still with the Cowboys if you don't believe me! He isn't a Max Crosby and that's OK, he fits in with Green Bay who will be leading in most of their games and need a pass rusher in the 2nd half of most games. The Cowboys need a multitude of players, some we've already acquired with the trade and hopefully they will use the other 1st round pick to grab another quality player at a position they need help. In my opinion, this is one time Jerra got it right and it was a good trade for both teams!

 

[NumOneQB]

I don’t think anyone has ever debated GB fleeced Jerruh for Parsons. It just doesn’t sting as bad now that Q is in Dallas.

Could care less, the truth is the truth. Don't let you lying eyes fool you!

He got it wrong. Parsons can alter what an opposing NFL offense would like to do. Very few players can do the same. The Packers saw value in that. Jerry slipped on his emotions. Williams is a great “get”, but he’s already into big money. He does not provide the controlled expense for 4/5 years a first round draft pick would. Dallas exhausts the other first they got for him in April. That’s it. Then, hopefully, everyone can forget about Micah unless they are playing the Packers.

 

[TNCowboy]

Of course they did. Comical to pretend otherwise. They got one of the best players in the NFL, who's only 26 yrs old, and now they have a top 5 defense and are a legit SB contender.

OTOH, our season is over, and we have couple of late 1sts where we're likely to get 2nd round graded players, and a DT they probably won't even re-sign.

You still don’t get it, Parsons wasn’t what the Cowboys needed for the money he demanded, His skill set wasn’t ideal for a team always playing from behind, as he was awful against the run, but was perfect for the Packers! The Cowboys could not afford to sign guys like Bland, Ferguson, Tyler Smith & even Aubrey if they had paid Micah & also, the Williams deal would have never happened.

You don’t get it. Teams that trade away special players are the kind that can’t get to a Super Bowl for 30 years. The Dallas Cowboys have already proved they are that kind of team. If Jerry Jones could understand great talent he’d know not to trade special players. He doesn’t know what he’s doing as an NFL GM. And he’s never going to. Ever. Do you get that?

Hopefully his son knows better and hires a bonafide GM when his father is no longer running the team. My god, how many more years can it possibly be?

The Packers have 4 super bowl wins in their entire history with 2 of them in the 1960's. Jerry Jones has 3 by himself.
