The Micah Parsons problem

[Kwyn]

DLaw will have to give up his paycheck soon.

3 pressures and a sack. It’s not like he wasn’t doing his part.

 

[Kwyn]

He got a lot of love from the hacks on TV too. The LT comparison coming out again.

He's creating so much pressure on his own despite being doubled what seems like nearly every snap and if that's not good enough, the fear he puts on the opposition just leaves others free to hit the QB, hence all the other sacks and pressures in the game.

I'm not concerned what we pay Parsons, he's worth whatever he asks for, I'm worried he makes others around him look better than they are and they ask for too much come contract time - that for me id the REAL issue for this team.

And what happens then?

We get other, similarly skilled dudes to backfill, and he makes them look great.

Am I the only one that had a problem with Parsons not getting credited with a couple of sacks?

• The bad snap that Jones had to go jump on. He could have picked it up and thrown it. Why no sack?
• Jones started to run and was sacked almost immediately. I don’t care if it was a designed run. The quarterback was tackled for a loss.

I too wondered same thing?

I'm not sure that everyone appreciates how much better Micah Parsons has made a bunch of guys in the front seven. The attention he draws sets up so many advantageous matchups for others. God forbid that he missed any time - I think that you would see a lot of production suddenly dry up. It's a lot like the way that Emmitt Smith elevated the offensive line during his early days. Parsons is truly generational, and the Cowboys were very lucky that 11 other teams were blind to his ability on draft day.

It's a long season, keep him fresh.....no sense overworking him in a blowout

Thats what pissed me off - how was Parsons (and Pollard for that matter) in the game with a 33 point lead.

That defensive line is the best I've ever seen. We only get better as the season goes on too.

I didn't think this team could surprise me, but I'm surprised by how dominant they were. It wasnt a fluke either. That's all talent.

This just in
Parsons is good
Feel sorry for all the posters who were upset when we drafted him

Especially since the scouts were very clear that he is a generational talent.

Exactly
I hear all the time from idiots on CZ how Emmitt was just a product of the OL but they have no response to why the same OL couldn’t do it when Emmitt held out

Would be sweet if someone could compile a list with the user names Attached, would love to see the reasoning.

It wasn't me. I'm usually on the money. For anyone paying attention.

 

[Pass2Run]

How about the idiots that don’t want to pay him. I mean that’s amongst the dumbest things I’ve ever heard in the history of this board

Just when you think it couldn't get any dumber, there are several suggesting we trade him.

It's actually not that easy. If he wants QB money, it will be very tough to put/keep a contending team around him. You think KC wanted to let Tyreek walk?

You guys are trying to make this easy when it is far from that.

 

[Fontaine]

He fell all the way to #12.

And some people didn’t like the pick.

That’s the more concerning statement.
I remember plenty of people complaining we didn’t trade down.

I love bringing up draft threads from this place. People who post here might have the lowest sports IQ of any board I've ever been on.

Which is kind of normal, right? Most things are so complicated and tenuous.
