The impact of Micah Parsons

[Praxit]

..sounds like paycheck is coming soon.

 

[DCBoysfan]

Is that good?

Seems pretty good.

 

[Coogiguy03]

OH HE HAS A FEW good games and everyone loves him again now

 

[stilltheguru]

He's the same to me. A great player but nothing transcendent and he needs leaders around him that are on his level

OH HE HAS A FEW good games and everyone loves him again now

 

[Diehardblues]

I really think we should use him on offense too. He doesn’t play all of the downs on defense anyway. Give him the ball!!!

 

[Ranching]

Where are the football geniuses here who were ready to trade him?

They're still here, but they are a loooong way from being geniuses.

Go back to the basement...it's been so nice around here without your Risen wannabe, one liners. Bah Humbug!

 

[zrinkill]

Parsons is absolutely one of the best players in the league. We are so lucky to have him. I expect him to give the Eagles major problems this week.

hmmmmm

They need to trade Parsons, Martin, Hooker, and possibly Diggs.

Those stats were padded by 2 games against the worst teams in the league.

Padding stats against weak teams gets you put in the MVP conversation and a mega contract

They do. Parsons is a great player but prone to being invisible in big games late in the season. It’s obvious.

How do you define big games, though? Before this season full of injuries, we were 12-5 the last three seasons. We don't get to 12-5 without Parsons. There wouldn't be big games late in the season without him. And saying he's invisible downplays the effect he has with pressure and drawing double- and triple-teams. Parsons has one of the highest pressure rates, if not the highest (couldn't find updated numbers), in the league since 2021 despite all the extra attention he receives.

I feel like this argument is similar to the record in "win-or-go home" games that was created by some on here to disparage Romo. Or those that argued that Ware didn't get sacks when it counted.

Are we talking about Dak?

Ware should have been the SB MVP. Much better player than Parsons. Part of the issue is Dallas turning a short armed LB into a DE. Part of the problem is Micah for often being out if shape.

 

[Corso]

Trade him for some Tacos and Mazis.

That will improve the team.


Or maybe some LVE's and a Clear Eyed View.
Yeah!

 

[EPL0c0]

I'm one of those. But my opinion was based more on the idea that he'd demand WAY too much and/or could get a better deal elsewhere, so take advantage of the situation and trade him for max value.

but since he has at least signaled that pay isn't everything... we'll see.

 

[EPL0c0]

I think having Kneeland and Lawson has helped Micah.

Those guys have been disrupting things (as has Osa more this season). That really opens up opportunities for Micah and blitzing DBs.

in the past the disrupter was basically DLaw and that's it. There's been more work from others and Micah has benefited.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Tell me what has he done in the playoffs? He’s playing now to cash in next year.
He’s no TJ watt, Garrett or Bosa

Trade him… but you know they won’t

By that same token….please tell me what Garrett or TJ watt has done in the playoffs

 

[Runwildboys]

Trade him for two low 1sts. He does too many podcasts and I don’t like his body language, even though he looks like he’s killing himself on every single play.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

The Cowboys should trade Micah Parsons for multiple picks that they can package to trade up and draft a player like Micah Parsons.

Invisible compared to whom?
