Being more dominant in a brief period doesn't check the boxes for anything else. My point is he is more to account for than Ware ever was. Perhaps you're right though, but I remember Ware having quite a few games where his impact was minimal.
And I'll say this;

Ware lined up against the LT every down. He went up against hof LTs at that and bested them.

Parson thus far has been very dominant, but, he's a chess piece for Quinn. Would he have the same success if he was used like ware?

It's sad broncos see wares greatness more than fans on these forums.

100% Agreed. I was telling my buddy after that game sealing Micah Sack fumble in the 4th that D-Ware never did anything like that. He racked up the sacks and was a freak of nature rushing the passer, but in terms of impactful sacks/plays, he was largely invisible when it mattered most. Micah, in a short period of time, has already shown that he is not the same.

Tell your buddy you are completely wrong about this.

Never said he wasn't great. All I said was Parsons has been more dominant, more of a game changer for this defense than Ware was. What is sad was all his critics while he was here, and how he couldn't lead ants to a picnic and so on. I can still appreciate how awesome he was while having the opinion Parsons is more of a game wrecker. Two things can be true, even on the zone.

I think the difference lies in their demeanor. Parsons has a view of playing the game with violence and ferocity. Ware had no such instinct.

If he leaves Dallas to go win a championship then yes. If he stays here his career will likely be a waste. Same thing Ware had to do.

DWare greatest pass rusher since stats became a thing for Cowboys. Does Micah surpass him?

You’re asking a question that no one knows for sure. A lot of it will come down to his health. DWare had two seasons where he registered 20 and 19 sacks. The Cowboys moved on from him while he was still a real good player because he couldn’t stay healthy. At no point was DWare ever considered the best defensive player in the entire league. Some who get paid to talk football seem to think Parsons has surpassed Aaron Donald for that honor. The Cowboys have never had a defensive player in their entire history that’s gotten the amount of attention that Micah Parsons has received. They’ve had defensive players that were considered the best at their position but never the best of any defensive position in the entire league. I don’t think they’ve even had a player on offense that was considered the best player in the entire league.

Micah is better all around, not particularly close either.

There was a quote from Anthony Spencer where he freely admitted that he was dogging it for a year. Some of you might remember that. That was the kind of leadership Ware brought to the table, his running mate felt he could halfass it out there on the field with no consequence. I look at Micah’s defense I see the line flying around. It isnt just better collective talent, he’s elevating their play. He’s not even the loudest guy on that unit, but he sets the tone and they follow.

The only reason Ware wasn't a surefire #1 is because Jared Allen was also a beast with KC and the Vikings. Who exactly was ahead of him in that time?

And yet, one of the best pass rushers of the 2010s outright says Ware is the reason he is what he is today.

Silence yourself.

Another reason was because he didn’t make many game changing plays. He really didn’t show up in the playoffs during the prime of his career with the Cowboys.

Dware feasted on bad teams and rarely made big plays in big moments. Parsons is everything that Dware never was.

Yeah, Ware breaking the MVP of the league in 2015 wasn't a feat or anything. Just a bum team. Or him terrorizing Brady in the playoffs.

Just feasting on playoff teams.

The Cowboys barely made the playoffs in his prime.

And the discussion here is about Parson's being better - Parsons has played in 1 playoff game. How the HELL Parsons being complimented and "better than Donald" and Ware criticized for similar reasons? I don't remember Parsons destroying the 49ers. Try making logic of this, chief.

Another terrible KJJ post.
