Micah Parsons is in a class of his own

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Miles Garrett is better. He actually plays the run, too.

Micah is even with Nick Bosa and TJ Watt.

*sees objective data - "Nope, no way, not true!"

The idea that Micah is bad against the run is just as ridiculous as when people said that about Aaron Donald.

Not better, different. Micah is in no way built to play the run as a DE. Micah's best position would probably be a 3-4 Lb but that is not what we play in Dallas.

Guy is a beast, that's for sure. I remember that draft, being bummed that we missed out on the top 2 CBs and that we "settled" for Parsons. Silly me. lol

Too bad most media members who vote for DPOY will just look at sack totals.

 

[Proof]

Whoever said this raise your hand...

Now slap the crap out of yourself with it!

have a feeling he refers to himself in third person and asks for everyones thoughts in the million threads he posts

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Took me a few second to find Parsons. He's way up there in the corner! Like he got a time out or something.

This graph proves what we see with our own eyes. He is on another level.

While being held!

wonder where we'd be right now if we had landed horn. i can't even imagine. it's a doubly incredible reality when we missed the cbs but found bland.

They had to make the graph bigger just fit him in. Lol

It would have been hilarious if they'd taped a strip of paper up the top of the right side, just to accommodate Micah.

I don't know, most of the media folks I've seen (granted, I don't watch a lot of those shows) love to point out how Micah beats double and triple blocks, and I'm sure the ones who vote either see it themselves or listen to the guys who talk about it.

Parsons is a big reason why this Cowboys team could be one of the best in Cowboys history.

The graph looks manipulated. The distance between each value is not consistent. I am assuming this was done to fit all the names legibly, however this does distort the visual interpretation.

If you're saying what I think you're saying, just imagine a little more empty space up the left side. I don't think it really distorts the results. It just centers the information.

Myles Garrett's team is ranked #1 in defense in terms of preventing yardage. However, they are ranked #10 in preventing points. How is that possible?

I think it's because opponents are constantly getting short fields from Cleveland's offense, ranked #31 in turning the ball over.

Myles and Micah's stats are about even. Garrett may have slightly more sacks and forced fumbles, Micah has higher tackles, tackles for a loss, and QB hits.

I give the edge to Micah because of how his teammates benefit from him even if he is not directly involved.

That graph reminded me of the day I was watching my daughter's high school football team practice. I was in my car waiting for my daughter to finish some activity at school that night.

Anyway, the coach was very dissatisfied by the practice and they were running laps. Almost the entire team was running together as a group, just plodding along.

Eventually, I noticed one guy that was ahead of everybody else, that's why i missed him at first. I recognized him as the team's best player, a linebacker. He wasn't plodding, he was giving it everything and he was on the other side of the track still building his lead.

One of the players in the big cluster yelled, "Come back, you are supposed to be our leader!"

The linebacker yelled back from across the track, "I'm in front, aren't I?"

I never heard a purer definition of the word "leader". That's what I think Micah Parsons is.

Great story!

I was with you on that. I said, how stupid to pass up on a top CB. How stupid of me and i admit that. This doesnt mean i believe hes the piece needed to win a SB, thats on the coaches. but he might be like witten, a good piece wasted on a team.

Wasted? The Cowboys are one of the best teams in the league.

I don't know the official source for odds, but quick skim and he now seems to be the runaway favorite for dpoy

im sorry can you mention how many SBs they won since 2000? we ll wait.

 

[Redline360]

Absolutely insane.

To think we have seen some gobbers on here posting he disappears or his stats suck during certain games. Typical people who look at stats at face value

Think he also has the least holding calls agaisnt him the last time I checked however that was awhile ago.

What has that got to do with the current team? I love cry babies. Very entertaining.
