Twitter: Parsons NFC defensive player of the week

[kevm3]

The thing I like about Parsons is that he's a super sure handed tackler, but he also manages to avoid huge collisions, so that should help preserve his longevity. He's not out there trying to give guys concussions.

looks like a young lion is always hungry will be a great player for cowboys

He wasn’t lying when he told LVE that every play is his and he’s going to make a play

who else is eligible for dpoy im not keeping up.i mean we only 7 games in for us..that not even half way

Garrett has 10.5 sacks. Diggs, of course. I have no doubt that Donald and TJ Watt will be in the conversation at the end.

The Rookie of the Year conversation is getting pretty boring. Parsons and Chase own the awards unless something bad happens to them (knock on wood). Ojulari has 5.5 sacks. Rousseau's been pretty good. But nobody's breathing down Parsons' neck.

Looking back at the draft and knowing now what we have at linebacker/D-End vs Corner it really seems Dallas had the best possible player fall into their lap in the first. This kid is a real game-wrecker and will be for years to come.

Made this point in the game thread...among other things, he single-handedly eliminated those RB/FB swing passes which is a major staple of Minny's offense. Great performance

great improvement as those always seemed to give us problems under the Marinelli scheme

Parsons is quickly becoming my favorite player.

I still like him rushing the passer, but I will happily take a more athletic version of Bobby Wagner

I meant RDPOTY whos else as rookie defender is near parsons?
dont think he gets DPOTY he will get RDPOTY and diggs might be up for DPOTY..would be cool

DROY

Parsons second year should be off the charts.

if oujalari gets like 12 sacks they will give it to him,sacks are sexy in the NFL.

This is why I see a guy like Garrett or Watt getting DPOY over Diggy

 

[xtreme_2k]

Rookie DPOY so far ....easy

Funny thing is I believe CBSSports doesn't even have him ranked in the top 10 of Rookie of the Year up to date performance

That Vikings game proved to me that Parsons is best utilized as a linebacker.

 

[phildadon86]

I think you already know the answer.

I sure do.

It’s mind blowing that the guy just won’t or can’t admit he was wrong. He wanted us to draft Phillips lol. Parsons has no value. Lol it’s amazing to be that wrong literally all of the time and act like you’re the smartest person in the room.

True however the ability to move him at various LB spots and the ability to put him a DE gives Quinn a lot of flexibility. I think we will continue to see him getting snaps at LB as well as DE. I think Quinn will be able to do more once DLaw is back. You can have Gregory coming from his DE spot and have DLaw with Parsons line up behind DLaw and run some big time pass rushing headaches.

Sooo many geniuses on this board….

lol

Understand I didn't say which LB position to play him. He needs to move around and I agree there are opportunities where he can line up at DE to take advantage of something the opponent's offense is doing wrong. The thought of DLaw, Gregory and Parsons on the field at the same time this season should be giving OCs nightmares.

And to have the complete lack of character to simply admit when you’re wrong.

Like others, he’s rendered himself as nothing more than noise at this point, where his posts and opinions mean nothing.

 

[Sydla]

To show you how awful PFF can be, Parsons isn't even on their Top 15 list of best rookies.

Let that sink in.
