Why Micah is a concern

[TwentyOne]

I'm going to make it a point to pay closer attention to him.

I am looking forward to read your opinion.

 

[TwentyOne]

The ten other players on the field and the crap gameplan and scheme had nothing to do with it? Damn, I thought you were one of the more knowledgeable guys on here. Oh well...

Yes damn it.

As long as people see things the way you do they are knowledgeable.

Else you offend them.

 

[Ranching]

My emotions say, get rid of the kid, his left one has not dropped yet, it seems.

But, when it does...he'll be hell on wheels.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts

 

[Ranching]

Now you're getting...I agree with you.

 

[DuncanIso]

I would not sign him at 40 million or even 35 million

Highlight reel but no championship impact

Thats why Jerry loves him

It’s a safe bet that he will get paid by Dallas.

 

[malbis030347]

Going backwards proves nothing, going forward is the goal and he has not live up to those backward numbers. Stop living in the past. And once he gets paid, it will get even worse. He is after his bag and his little tweet machine.

 

[DZSierra]

This is getting beyond stupid IMO...

Parsons said himself he doesn't have to be the highest paid player and that he's "team guy". Make Parson's a great offer, not the highest paid player and put him on the spot to put his money where is mouth is.

Parson's doesn't like it? See what you can get for him.

Unless Jerry knows what he's already going to do as far as how high he'll go and get the contract taken care of.

It's like Jerry likes making news on how he negotiates, and I can only guess he has so much money he doesn't care what it will cost him if he knows he wants the player.

I just can't figure Jerry out...

 

[john van brocklin]

This is what I was getting at in my original post that many on here take exception to

Well its pretty clear, that Parsons just cant prosper long term going up against OL players that outweigh him by a bunch.
He just wears down and disappears...

I’m not blaming Parsons. I just don’t see him as a big enough difference marker to justify $40+M per.

 

[KingCorcoran]

He doesn’t show up in big games and contending teams are able to neutralize him, making him a non factor. He’s not a leader and fans have become put off with him. He’s not worth the money!

Likely the sentiments of the other 31 NFL franchises. This and the fact he wants a huge contract extension make him little value in trade.

We’ve argued this before. You’re kidding yourself if you continue to think he has little trade value. He has great trade value for a contending team that has a lot of pieces defensively but needs a great pass rusher. We have too many holes defensively especially up front which enables opponents to focus on him. DWare went to a contending team that had a solid defense with Von Miller and helped make it a great unit that dominated a SB. Parsons would make a HUGE impact on complete defense. It would be like when the Cowboys added Charles Haley to an already talented defense in 92. He made our D a great unit that was dominant.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Pay him a kings ransom and put him on a pitch count because you can't count on him to give you full effort for 17 games?

You have to see the wrongness with what you're suggesting, right?

It's the Cowboys thing to do....just like Dak, pay him a king's ransom and then preach run the ball first. Too much money being spent on players you can do without and still remain status quo. In other words, mediocre.

It's so dumb.

If you must put precautions in place for them to be successful then they are not worth what you're paying them.

 

[Blast From The Past]

I TOTALLY agree, just seems like this way with all these players, have a great contract year to get the bag, get the bag and they're not the same player, I guess the hunger isn't there anymore since they got what they wanted!!!!!


You're paying 40+ million for a pitch count pass rusher, he shouldn't ask for that much if he's going to be on a pitch count

When a player gets their bag they then become made men, newly minted made man that is. You are right about a players not being the same afterwards. And I may add they are injured a lot or season ending and never recover from it to be the same player ever again.

Part time should come at less salary not more.

After getting the bag the drive isn't there. For example, I can see Micah being at practices that he wasn't attending last season due to prior planned engagements, he'll be here this year, but next year after getting the bag, you won't see him!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

why he is a no show for most of the season and during playoffs.

This is simply not true..........this is silly

Soo his peers and coaches are voting him to ALL-PROs ( first 4 years in league BTW ) for dogging it MOST of the season.

Contenders know better than give up draft assets for a very expensive edge rusher. That’s the difference between teams that know what they’re doing and those that struggle to figure out how to genuinely compete for a Super Bowl. Few teams need defensive line help more than the Dallas Cowboys and they haven’t extended Parsons. And they don’t have to give up anything assets to acquire him.

Not many teams are in a position to add that kind of compensation to their roster. Fewer can afford to give up draft assets to acquire a single player. Contenders are just that because they already have expensive talent.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

You guys are full of crap. So blind you want to get rid of a generational talent. I didn’t know there were so many Nico Harrison’s

Generational talent.

 

[BKBDAD]

I'm not sure that is him getting tired. Teams start to figure eachother out by mid season. When you're having trouble stopping the run, the sacks come to an end.

He was either getting tired at the end of the season or he just didn't give a damn. I re-watched one game at the end of last season and he basically quit on 12 different plays! I don't believe he has that "it" to be an all-time great and that's what this next contract will pay him!

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Micah Parsons has had 8 solo tackles, 10 assists and 1.0 sack in 4 games in the playoffs in his career.​

And this guy deserves 40 million or 37 million or 35 million per year?

Maybe you “need to watch” more football?

You may not know this ..........but several top elite rushers ( Garrett, Watt, Miller, DWare, and quite few others) playoff stats are very similar. Since so much has been made of him not showing up in the playoff, I decided to do a comparison. Went 20-25 years back looking at HOFers pass rusher playoff stats ( even LT and the late Reggie White ). To my surprise, his post-season stats are on par with other elites. In fact, at his age, he is close to matching or passing Watt and Garrett who are 4-5 years older.

There's a reason why postseason stats are NOT part of official career records






No, postseason stats are generally not included in a player's overall career statistics in major sports leagues like the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Historical Perspective:
  Traditionally, the postseason (playoffs, World Series, etc.) has been viewed as a separate event from the regular season, not as an extension of it.
  
  
• Focus on Regular Season:
  The emphasis is on comparing players' performance during the regular season, where all teams compete under the same rules and play the same number of games.
  
  
• Different Context:
  Postseason games involve a different level of competition and pressure, making it difficult to directly compare stats from the regular season and postseason.
  
  
• Not Every Player Participates:
  Not all players have the opportunity to participate in the postseason, which could skew career statistics if postseason stats were included.
  
  
• Examples:
  • The NFL, NBA, and NHL all don't include post-season stats in career totals.
    
    
  • In baseball, the World Series was initially seen as an exhibition, and even after the merger, it wasn't considered part of the regular season.
