Those Converse Chiefs sneakers his daughter is wearing are cute.
(And BTW - so is she.)

I don't know. Didn't he make 3 straight pro bowls, lead his team in sacks 3 straight seasons, and be a runner up for defensive player of the year?
What did you do in life that is so special?

The cowboys fans here are worse than Eagles fans.
It's not about me, oh triggered one. It's about giving the biggest DE/LB contract to a guy that couldn't hold TJ Watts jock strap.

Stats built off weak teams
Goes AWOL in the playoffs, against good offenses and the last part of the season.

If Jerry signs him to a break the bank contract the repercussions will be long lasting

40.5 sacks in his first three seasons.

5th most for a defensive player in NFL history.
Exactly! I don't care who or what teams he's playing against, this is still the NFL, and 40 and a half sacks in three seasons takes a lot of darn talent!

I have a feeling if Watt was a Cowboy and Micah was an Eagle you’d be mad at that as well.

I , like most fans here, saw the talent that he clearly has. We than saw his last part of the 1st season letdown....then we saw it again the next season as well and now when we look closer, he's getting dominated against good offense, as you've stated.
So even if one does want to break the bank with him based on the hope that he will be coached up, some people have made the case that his deficiencies are because of the lack of support from the DTs and other LBs.....and that should be considered in all fairness.....so the question also is do you pay him a kings ransom when there are so many deficiencies around him that the FO can't help him anyway?

The draft hasn't produced a legit dog at DT for a decade and FA hasn't yielded one either so their argument against signing him has merit as well.

If history has shown us anything it's that he will be the highest paid LB/ DE in the league and he will vanish into Cowboys obscurity until he gets to another team to win a Championship

It's potentially the Demarcus Ware story all over again.......maybe the FO won't repeat that.
That's an interesting point and I haven't thought of that, but I can see how that could easily be a factor. It's easy for teams to focus their efforts on him because who else do they have to worry about? Like you said, we don't have and haven't had any dangerous DT's and LBs to worry offenses so it's easy to focus their efforts on the main threat which is Parsons. He's good enough that they have to game plan for him.

Stats are for people like you who seem to lack a fundamental understand of the game. Any player who the other team wants to take out of the game will be game planned to take out of the game. Double parsons on all of his pass rushes and still expect him to have a statistical impact says more about your understanding of how this thing works.

Nobody is questioning the mans talent. Obviously he is a meta human. What we are questioning is his heart, his leadership and his desire to be a champion. So far he has seemed pretty lacking on those items.

I am unfortunately a Leafs fan in hockey. Marner and Matthews have talent to spare. Incredible talent. Unfortunately they have no heart, no leadership, no desire to be champions. The Cowboys and the Leafs share many similarities.
