I actually have a beef with Parsons

[AsthmaField]

Parsons will probably be another HOF caliber talent like Ware, Witten and Martin wasted under our dysfunctional leadership.

If this thread is any indication, it is the fan base that is dysfunctional.

He's too much new school and too much of a 'sweet' player to take full control of the Cowboys defense.

Old School linebackers: Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Willie Lanier, Mike Singletary, Ray Lewis...they are not specialized besides effectively being immediately aggressive. They were in the play before they were blocked. Parsons gets blocked a lot, and isn't nearly as dominating as old school linebacker was for their team. That was five players who met every inch of the requirement. He better commit more within himself and less into talking about it. Do it!

I'm sure he won't sleep tonight

If Parsons played against those small offensive linemen that most of those former players play against.... Parsons would have dominated the same way, if not more.

Parsons is faster than most of the RBs in those days as well.

Umm I'm sure he cares..... Do you even watch him play and interact with our Defense....?

Yeah, Micah is one of the few guys in the NFL that ALWAYS gives his all on every play. He plays his *** off every snap of the ball.

Everyone should know that unless IQ’s have dropped sharply of late.

I completely disagree..

Dude is a absolute phenom.

Him getting blocked sometimes to me is no big deal because teams are committing a ton of resources to make sure he gets blocked.

He’s unreal to me.

The best non-QB in the NFL.

 

[CouchCoach]

Deacon Jones, Reggie White and Aaron Donald all got blocked.

I like Parsons a lot but he needs to ascend to another level if he wants to be worth that 1st round pick.

All Pro in his first two years is all about being worth that 1st round pick.

This. It pretty much sums it up.

Micah is phenomenal and he changes every game he plays in, regardless if he is getting blocked or not.

The resources that it takes for an offense to actually block Micah, opens things up for the other 10 guys on the field.

He impacts the game start to finish.

Great point ..plus the QB’s weren’t protected nearly as much by the league. I mean Aikman got years shaved off his career from some of the shots he took.

 

[CowboyFrog]

All those LB's did not beat their guy every play. They got stuffed and shut down at times also.

Reggie White never had any success against Erik Williams.

Williams had Preacher White cursing on national TV.. it was hilarious.

 

[KJJ]

More fans are going to have a beef with him when they see how much money is going to take to re-sign him. There’s fans that don’t even want to pay him. They would rather have three mediocre players for the amount of money he’s going to make. He’s going to be called selfish, and that he doesn’t care about the team. Lol

"For that money he needs 30 sacks a season".. its comming for sure.

 

[Reid1boys]

If you have a beef with him now, wait until he holds out to get a record breaking payday and he is on twitter everyday talking smack about the front office "Disrespecting him." Thn you will have a real beef with him

 

[KJJ]

He’s already getting bashed by a few fans. According to one fan he’s no better than Jalen Smith when he’s not rushing the passer. Lol

I know but I want more from him, he seems to get gassed at times. Probably needs to add about 10-15 lbs to his frame so he can withstand running full tilt into OLs all season.

Dumbest post of the week. Congrats!

He's too sweet.
OK

Stats are meaningless most of the time.

I’ve seen Dak play like trash and post good stats.

I’ve seen Micah play like a phenom and not get a single sack.

 

[CouchCoach]

Sacks are over-rated. Pressuring the QB into not being able to do what he planned to do before the ball was snapped gets mistakes from the QB.

Haley caused more havoc by just getting in the backfield and did more damage than he did with sacks.

The best pass rushers make the QB look at them instead of downfield. Parsons has effectively done that as well as any pass rusher.

 

[CCBoy]

Those are all LB's. Is Parsons really a LB? He might be listed as a LB but he is a DE.

Those were all top of the line NFL linebacker known for their toughness as linebackers and leading their teams.

Parsons started out as a linebacker and his rushing ability was developed as did Lawrrence Taylor did with his sack abilities.

The linebacker, where he plays now, he still needs to function with the strengths that demands. Period...as that makes the defense all that it can be.

He's not a defensive end at least until he's no longer able to switch between those duties and rushing.

One can't just up and redefine demands of the position because degrees of use. Two defensive ends start each and every game.

The coaches were emphatic that Parsons was a linebacker!

The OP listed the top of the line and old school versions for what is an excuse to refer to old school. They were dominant linebackers, every one of them!!
