Parsons is another example of a Cowboy’s player that fans are overvaluing due to potential. I think I can say that all of us have high hopes for him, but many posters are acting like he already the DPOY without him playing his first game. Put away the anointing oil. It makes our fan base look bad to see all of these unrealistic claims about Parsons at this point. There has been very few reasonable post concerning the kid. Claims that he is already the best defensive player on the team is wishful thinking at this point. What is wrong with saying that he showing some good things since he came to Dallas and that he could develop into player that can upgrade and help the defense? I hate to remind everyone, there has been more than one rookie that didn’t immediately live up to the unrealistic expectations placed on them. I have a lot of hope that Parsons is the real deal, but I have nothing but his potential that gives me that hope. Bruce Carter was a big and fast LB with tons of natural talent, but he has no instincts. I hope that Parsons is capable of using his natural talent to become a great LB unlike Carter, but he is far from being the dominant defender that many fans are labeling him to be at this point.
