LT didn't have to face the size and athletic ability at OT that Parson's does. LT is in his own class. Was so much fun to watch. Micah is the same. Micah and Mahomes are the two players in this league that standout amongst all the others. Regardless of your team allegiance, if you cannot enjoy watching them play, this isn't the sport for you. It's like watching Barry or Randy or Prime. They standout when you watch them. You know they are different and you know they are game changers. Just enjoy watching Micah and watch him make his own mark in the history of the game.

Was watching the game at Gillete stadium, friends are pats fans...

one older gentleman says this " this parsons kid teminds me so much of the late Derek Thomas" .... I yell out " new LT"

old guy says " he might well become a LT if he keeps this up, just quite not there yet , but being compared to Derek Thomas so early is no knock at all! ""

So for those of you who saw DT play, do you agree? I will you tube some of his highlights.
The team doing the telecast of Jets @Cowboys made the same comments.

DT was excellent but LT dominated and so far that’s what we are seeing from MP.

As a pass rusher maybe but Dak is a better overall defensive player. Thomas and Neal Smith was devastating for KC back in the day.

I love Micah to death and I am glad he is a Cowboy. However, it's too early to put him in those tiers of DT or LT. If Micah plays this way consistently over the years, then yes lets make those compressions. Right now the body of work is still being displayed. As coach Parcells would say, "lets put the anointing oil away". He certainly does possess the tools to be an all-time great in my opinion. Lets just not get ahead of ourselves too soon.

Obviously you must have never saw DT play. Same draft as Aikman, Barry, Deion. Think he went 4th or 5th, don't feel like looking it up. But DT was one of the best.

I just hope MP can have a 7 sack game like DT. It might have been 6 but think Thomas had 7 sacks one game.
Watched him play plenty. One of the best, but Parsons is better.
