he shows up against bad teams. completely disappears against better teams.
his stat line from GB game was 2 tackles. 1 solo, 1 assist.
Against SF the year before, he has total of 4 tackles. 1 solo, 3 assisted

the highest paid defensive player to be has to be better than.
Everything you said there could be directed towards Dak. The difference is that Micah even produces when the stats dont show, him being double teamed should benefit the rest of the defense.

Not dismissing Dak. never said there is any excuse. this was about Micah, but I know you cult members think about Dak 365x7x24x60x60.....every second of everyday, none stop.
we talk about Aubrey you (cult) turns it into Dak. talk about Jerry the GM and it turns into Dak, talk about Parson, it turns into Dak.

never advocated for a contract to Dak. not advocating it for Micah. take your head out of Dak's rear for a minute and take a deep breath.

You'll find that there are a fair few posters that respond to you in such a way because you've got this one sided view on Dak, but pre-text most with an 'I'm not a Dak fan' then proceed with paragraphs lauding him.

Now as for Micah, what you wrote in #140 may be correct (as it is for Dak), the difference is that Micah provides value for the rest of our pass rushing as he's frequently/always double teamed, or as in the 9ers play-off games he, for some reason, stayed lined up against Trent Williams.

funny, because I also have tons of comments criticizing Dak, in fact being on record for saying this past summer that we should move on and its the best move for both sides!!!

but unlike you, who has drawn this very thin line, if everybody just doesn't incessantly, 365x7 criticize dak, then they must be a supporter....a child's mentality per se.

people often criticize and when I ask pointed questions and show facts, they say, I am a supporter...... because they get bamboozled by not being able to answer so their go to line is your very comment above!!!!

I like Micah, I will hold him to same standards as the Dak Hate Cult that if he ends up as the highest paid player, then he has to perform at that level for every opponent and every game specially better teams in the league, understanding that there will be ups and downs along the way.
but if he only shows up against the panthers and giants of the world and disappears against better opponents and in the playoffs, then if we made that mistake with Dak, why make it with Micah?

and if he doesn't show up against the better teams and the rest of the team doesn't do better, then where is the value? if he actually is getting double teams we should see improved defensive performance. the fact is that we don't get better results, then does he really have value?

he is talented. physically a freak. but I just don't think he is as focused on football.

with that said, I understand these things are complicated. including our coaching and game planning leaves a lot to be desired.

Does he disappear, or is it that he garners so much attention? So he doesnt get home against better offenses, but i'd imagine he's heavily doubled teamed (or as I mentioned lined up against the Trent Williams of the world)......pass rushing isnt all about individuals, he facilitates others by creating space and undue attention.....if you dont have him, it lessens the effectiveness of the rest of the pass-rush group.

when it affects the cap horribly without the value and thus our ability to win championships, we care.
We’re winning with fourth string back up players because of football players not high priced Primadonna’s. Screw the cap. It’s not about names. It’s about players.

Why not.......he has zero, nothing to gain from sharing it with millions of people. Why would he lie........if this was any other player, fans would bow down. He's smart......he realizes true long-term value comes from championships/rings, not money. I think he said last week he didn't see much difference from $30-40M and some went on about how $10M is a lot of money and it is but that's not what he was saying. He was saying, that either way, he's going to have enough money for a lifetime.

Bosa is now the highest paid at $34M. So based on what he's saying his ceiling $32-33M.......that's $7M less than the $40M we've been throwing around. So at a min....his statement kills that rumor.
IIRC, he's always said he wants to be the 'greatest', not the 'richest'. I understand why people are skeptical, considering how many players hold out or negotiate for the biggest contract they can get, but there are plenty of people who can be satisfied with an exorbitant amount of money, and not need an obscene amount of money.

Part of me would laugh so hard if he took less money and signed elsewhere. Guy gets so much unwarranted hate from cowboys fans.

Hardest worker in the offseason…. Zero trouble off the field. But but he had a podcast so let’s get rid of him. And now might take less money?

It’s like cowboy fans realize they can’t get rid of Jerry jones so let’s attack the players. Did the same thing to ware and he went to a better team and won a title.

Micah is a future hall of fame player. And we still can’t appreciate him. It’s insane to me
Right? Ware went from "overrated and can't get sacks", when he was on the team, to "one of the greatest players we've ever had", once he left and got a ring somewhere else.
