Why is Parsons always in when he's gassed?

Players today aren't Stupid they know they put their lives on the line for this game.
They are in a way like the ancient Roman Gladiators playing a violent sport that could end their careers on the next down of play.
Make the cash while you can young men and save that cash and get out ASAP before it costs you numerous years of quality life after the game.
C-T-E will catch up with this game at some point and 40 years from now it might be a form of Flagg football on the field.
Exactly right...

Because our D sucks w/o him. Once again, as usual, Jerry has done a very poor job of filling in around him.

.. seen that last few games. More recently in NYG game.

It's 4th qtr, he's gassed, yet, still playing. Wouldn't you want fresh pair of legs in there?

I mean, what good is he tired getting no push with two 350lb OL standing him up.

It's wasted opportunity a rested player can make.

What say you?
First of all he came off an injury so he probably wasn't practicing couldn't work out a lot,

secondly this dude's motors full time all the time he's going at it over and over and over he's never lazy taking off place..

Lastly, we've lost 5 defensive ends this year, not much to rotate ..Thank goodness Tank could be back and Kneeland rounds into shape for the next one. Get that rotation aback a little more normal..

Just let me add this defense instantly the day he came off angry the first game against Philly and then even more so against the Texans and now they're better they're 100% better with him than without him so anybody who got a problem with this guy you might wanna check yourself now I don't know if he's gonna be worth being the highest paid defensive end or outside linebacker off ball whatever you wanna call the dude Jerry's gonna have to think long and hard on that because he is not giving you 21 sacks a year 20 sacks like TJ Watt you know a true defensive end giving you some really big numbers this guy's only giving you 10 to 14 sacks a year where other guys are pushing the sack records..

How much is it gonna cost to keep Parsons I don't know it's gonna be a hard thing to come up with a number because you cannot make him the highest paid non quarterback in the league I am not on board for that but he is a integral part of this defense I know that.

Needs to be in better shape,how many times did Harvey, Randy or too tall ,brunig,howley,tubbs,jorden take themselves out of a game because they were gassed? Never, these players today all need to be in better shape,no excuse for being winded every other play.theyre basically part time players.
I remember when Randy chased down the running back maybe 40 yards down the field and never came out............that front played almost every play back then.

I just checked week 1 he had 69 snaps probably every single play then he went down to 57 and 44 and they were rotating him and then he got hurt and he comes back first game back 37 but instant impact last 3 , 61 of 64 possible snaps. hes on the field almost the entire game. id like to see that at 55 to be more fresh as we get all our guys back..

but many of our defenders are in a lot of the snaps not many rotations.

I think it's kinda crazy look at this link Malik Hooker look like he's been on the field for 96% of the entire season of available plays he's almost out on the field the whole entire game every game this year not far behind is DONO, been on him but hes almost out there 100% of the game all games..

I don't think he's missed the game and then you got Kendricks and Lewis also close to 90 something percent like it's like our safeties are never rotated how'd that happen when we had bell and Thomas before Thier injuries?

Yeah I gotta tell you just for my eyes and just remembering the games anybody who thought kendricks was some bargain basement linebacker and he was old injury prone and he wasn't gonna bring us much you were wrong anybody who thought that should apologize he's been all over the place like I've been watching the game he's just always in there flashing he may not be perfect but this dude was a steal he was not a bargain basement pick up he literally shows us over the 49ers and he's been playing very well I mean 86% of all snaps this year not each game that's all available snaps for the entire season that's a lot he's like third on the team... When he was out this team looked lost...

Ended the Seahawks and chargers games last year with his late game plays.

This narrative he’s not clutch is crazy. In 3 of his 4 playoff games the defense played well.

It isn’t his fault we got killed by GB…. There was nothing one guy was going to do.

He’s an elite player that gets far too much criticism just like ware did. Ware left here and won a title instantly…. Any team be lucky to have parsons. It isn’t his fault we can’t put a competent team around him
Reread that last sentence. Yes, it will be his fault. Just like Dak. Just like CeeDee. Once Parsons gets his $36 million a year deal, there will be even less $$$ available to pay complimentary players. I understand how it works. He's a stud and should cash in. Unfortunately, he'll be a victim of being a great player on a poorly managed team that "can't afford" free agency.

If we had traded this guy last year we'd have at least 2# 1s plus our own pick to move to the top of the board and draft QB1.
Without sacrificing our whole draft!
Imagine that, we could trade up and get the next Trance in the draft.

Seemed to answer your own question.

He's also got late sacks each of the last 2 weeks.

.... you're right about Kendricks. The man is a baller and we're lucky to have him.

Have a close look at him…he’s pretty doughy. Plus you don’t improve the cardio while sitting on your azz doing a podcast. Additionally he was gassed this week against a crap Giants OL. The guy is an imposter.

Yeah. Remember folks said the same
Thing about Ware.

Garbage time sacks.

Can’t make game winning plays.

Then I remember Ware distinctly harassing Brady all game long to help the Broncos win the AFC championship

Dak should take your advice and retire tomorrow.
