What are chances that Micah Parsons regresses this up coming season?

Something about this Dallas culture it tends to ruin players. Players realize they only have to play hard to get paid. Once they are paid that's job security. Parsons hopefully doesn't have that in his DNA to ease up but it will eventually happen. Either due to injury or due to being the second LB to get QB money.

 

Regardless, after last year he'll get more attention.

 

Thats a given period. Now, if we can just find a couple guys other teams would have to at least pay attention to. who knows.

 

Any you would like to see?

 

Just throwing a rock at it maybe Flower and Hicks.

 

100%

 

So unless someone agrees with you, you dismiss it? And your opinion is based on what?

Fun thread.

 

T.O. blew up to be a "Look At Me!!" diva long before he joined the Cowboys (49ers, Eagles).

 

I’m sure you have some mathematical formula or data to based this prediction on lol
Nah
Just pulled it out of your…

 

Not duplicating a season like he had is not regression
It’s reality
The same thing with Diggs
The chances of him getting that many picks this year are very slim

 

Opposing teams will have game tape and film study on Parsons now.
They will attempt counter scheme vs how Quinn likes to employ Parsons.

- Maybe that means far more 2 TE alignments vs Parsons & Cowboys ?

- With some cases, its' one thing to see what is coming at you, ..it's another thing to know how to stop what's coming at you.

- Teams well are familiar with TJ Watts, Myles Garrett, Chandler Jones and Von Miller, ..yet have those opposing team still been able to stop those gem players ?

- Biggest continuing key with Parsons, imo :
1) Staying healthy
2) Quinn knowing how to move him around/line up per mismatches
3) Parson's supporting cast,

 

I'd say the chances are pretty high. He'd almost have to be defensive player of the year not to.

 

Yeh, probably not same number of INTs as in '21.,.. but i still think he'll have up to at least six INT picks .
Depends upon health, continuing coaching scheme and supporting cast., imo

 

its a fair question. I think eventually he will tire of the culture and want to move on

 

Only if the Cowboys use him incorrectly then yes he will regress, however, if they line him up at the LOS 50% or more of the time then he'll be defensive MVP and possibly a super bowl winner!

 

As a player he could be even better. Just like sacks don’t tell the whole story of a pass rusher, ints don’t tell the whole story if a CB. I think as the season went on he was better at knowing when to go for the int or the tackle. I think the yards given up will be better and I agree 6 sacks is probably realistic
But that wouldn’t mean he regressed as a player. As a complete player that would be growth

 

Parsons had one of the all-time great rookie seasons, so there is a significant chance he regresses, even if slightly.

Now does that mean he goes from:

84 tackles, 20 TFLs, 13 sacks, 47 pressures, 3 FF, 3 PDs​

to

86 tackles, 15 TFLs, 9 sacks, 49 pressures, 2 FF, 1 PD, 1 Int​

or

40 tackles, 2 TFLs, 2 sacks, 10 pressures, 0 FF, 2 PDs
​

Now, I would not bet on stat line 3 unless he is dealing with injuries and then goes on the IR early in the season.

Then even if he "only" hits stat line 2, which would be a regression, that is STILL a great season. And with teams game planning for him in Game 1 knowing what he is capable of at the NFL level instead of trying to guess with little film on him, his production could very well "regress" this much.

But I also think it is just as likely that he will improve in most stats across the board.

The one stat I would expect to not jump up much higher or much lower is sacks. Teams will be VERY prepared to stop Parsons as a "traditional passrusher", so I believe that DQ lines up Parsons as a DE too much, it will hurt Parsons passrushing production. But if DQ can find a way to get Parsons one-on-one against offensive linemen by moving him around and rushing him from different spots, his passrushing production could improve.

In any case, I expect Parsons to have another Great Season in 2022.

JMHO
