You don't think a small guy like that, consistently going up against guys 70 lbs heavier and double teams plays hurt every week?
If that was the case, then why was he more disruptive the past few seasons early on?

i think you answered your own question.... he gives maximum effort all season but at some point he gets frustrated with non-calls and he starts to wear down.. there's nothing wrong with micah

hes still drawing a lot of attention, stacking pressures ,but no one else is talking advantage like Armstrong and fowler did, sam williams getting hurt and having a rookie DE learning on the job isnt helping.
thee rest of the team needs to make teams pay for using extra help to stop Parsons..

Dono's and others missed tackles and opportunity's is why this is being blamed on Parsons. so many missed pays could have got the d off the field and instead keeping players like MP on the field 1-3 more series doesn't help. also takes away from the offense having more opportunity's. So this is a total D issues ,. needs to be corrected but now we lost MP and Tank for while..

Even before the injury, he hasn't seemed like the previous seasons where he was wrecking havoc on olines. It seems like he's not as fast/explosion this year
he has added weight which slows him down and tires him out faster.
supposedly he went from 245 to 255, but I dont know what his current weight is.
He said back in 23 he was adding all muscle , but not sure if that is the case.

i find it ironic or just funny that fans start seeing things talk about it as fact and others then all agree with it.

He looks like the same player to me....not slower not giving less effort not getting sacks but plenty being parsons ..its not paying off and now hes hurt, I dont see it..

Micah might be wearing down barely in his 4th year right before our eyes. At 6'3" and only 245 lbs having to constantly go against Olinemen who are 50 - 75 pounds heavier and stronger than him has to eventually start taking its toll on his body.

Parsons is too light to hold up at DE all season. Hec, he can barely make it through most games. He's almost a pure liability against runs, especially the ones run right at him. He can't even contain and force runs inside of him. So, I wouldn't break the bank for him unless their going to find some dominant DTs and a impactful MLB. Only then will Micah truly shine.

He hasn’t been very impressive this season, only one sack in four games. He whiffed on at least two opportunities to sack Deshaun Watson in the opener and that was his best game this season. Now he has a high ankle sprain that could be a problem for him all season. He’s going to have a down year and be looking for a huge extension next year. I wouldn’t do it. He’s not as good as he was his first couple of seasons. Teams have figured out how to neutralize him and he already looks worn down.

I am sorry but there are times in the past that he looked like he was super human. This year he has looked like he would prefer to be anywhere else. You must see a difference.

Whatever you think of Parsons, does anybody think he is anywhere near worth what Jerry Jones is going to sign him to this coming offseason? I don't. The money that Parsons is about to get paid would be better spent elsewhere, free agency, depth, resigning other players. Sinking all that money in Dak and CeeDee was bad enough.
And for all the splash plays Parsons offers, he doesn't make the Cowboys a better team, IMO. Like others have said, he doesn't have the size to last as a DE. And he hasn't really developed enough as a LB. Also I just don't see Parsons as being a good fit for the Dallas Cowboys. I could see a team like Pittsburgh putting better use to him.
Been saying it for two years...trade him while you can!!!
