Micah Parsons Traded To Packers

[Simpleton]

And that’s the final blow. The damage a spectacle like this does to your team, days before the regular season starts. They either don’t think about things like that or they don’t give af.

They definitely don't give a fuck, winning is not the top priority.

The whole thing that confuses me is why was a run stopper the key to the deal? I thought run stoppers were unimportant based on our history.

What kills me is him saying they've had trouble stopping the run for several years now.

You know who had the power to do something about that all this time but never did?

The man in the fucking mirror.

Please let this happen.

So the solution to fixing a bad run defense is totally fucking yourself against the pass. Brilliant Jerry, brilliant.

 

[Cujo]

Fucking liar

Thats just Jerry talking out of his ass.

These plays look like an actual defense is playing. Hopefully he can bring some of this to us.

It’s the planet theory, a bigger talented player and especially close to the line is going to not only make a greater impact, but also enable the players behind and next to him.

These highlights leave Jason Ferguson’s 2006 season in the dust, these can’t have all been from last year?

 

[Genghis Khan]

I wonder how many other teams in the league have two first round OGs?

We are fucking stupid.

It's why I hated the Booker pick so much when it happened.

Good player, but we didn't need a fucking guard and certainly not in the first round.

What kind of idiot builds their team this way?

 

[Cujo]

Because it worked out so well, right?

He would have fallen ten picks for sure.

Harmon reminds me of Chris Jones, and Grant is the monster Mazi should have been.

But it’s water under the bridge. I can’t disagree with either the Ezeiruako or Revel picks, and we had no fucking fourth rounder thanks to these jackasses making stupid trades. That left the 5th round to begin dealing with RB and DT.

I only wish this cat was younger. Clark in his prime would be worth a lot to this team.

As it stands he’s still going to impact nearly every defensive play he’s on the field.

This fills a major hole in our defense. If Diggs is healthy, then we don’t have any outstanding holes remaining at least.

Yes I know we lost an all-timer talent and difference-maker, but even Micah couldn’t make up for our soft interior no matter how many sacks he got.

Green Bay , of all teams, definitively proved that in the playoffs.

Don’t expect the trade of this superstar to do anything like the Herschel Walker deal did 36 years ago. The Cowboys didn’t get a haul, but this should help rebuild the roster of a team that is less of a contender than it thinks.

Grade: B-minus


Joe Hoyt
Micah Parsons is one of the most valuable players in the NFL. Losing him is a blow the Cowboys will deal with for years to come. But, hey, 29-year-old Kenny Clark should fill a need in the short term.

Grade: D


Kevin Sherrington
The Cowboys traded a generational player to a team that will now move up in class because of it, meaning those two first-round picks are closer to second-rounders. Kenny Clark better be really good.

Grade: F


Calvin Watkins
You just don’t trade talented players away. It’s nice that you got two first-round picks and a defensive tackle with three years left on his deal, but you weaken the defense with Parsons gone. And that doesn’t make sense.

Grade: D

Obviously I have no idea how they'll end up using these picks but to me sorting out the future of the QB position post-Dak is the most important thing in front of the team going forward, and that's something I've been saying since before Micah demanded a trade. Could they have figured that out while also extending Parsons?

Sure, but do they also have significantly more flexibility to address that after the trade than prior?

Clearly.

The impact of the trade on this year's team is relatively meaningless to me. If our QB was 27 I never would've wanted to trade Parsons under almost any circumstances because the value of a haul of picks is 50/50 at best to match up to a player of his caliber when QB is taken out of the equation.

But a franchise QB is the most valuable thing in the sport, which gives these 1's added value in my mind given how strong the QB class is going to be in either 2026 or 2027. Between Manning, Klubnik, Nussmeier, Allar, Sellers, Mendoza, Leavitt and who knows how many other unknowns you're virtually guaranteed to have a really strong class either in 2026 or 2027, and maybe even both.

All of those guys won't continue ascending, but I'd be shocked if at least 2-3 didn't, plus several others who are current unknowns.

And maybe the idiots running the team will stick their heads in the sand and continue to blindly hope for the best with Dak for the next 5 years, which would obviously suck unless he or the team somehow make a huge leap this year or next. But at the very least there's hope that things could align at QB, especially when you consider how aggressive they've been gambling on QB's recently.

Right now we have more ammo to make a move for a QB than any team in the league going into a 2-year period that projects to have a number of strong QB prospects, that's the silver line to an obviously underwhelming return.

You do know that they are always reactive? Never proactive. Never been. These picks aren't in preparation of getting QB. Its just them being ignorant and thinking that they are the smartest in the building.

Probably, I don't think for a second that they're doing this with QB specifically in mind, but if Dak gets hurt after 6 games again or goes in the tank I don't think even they can delude themselves into ignoring QB in the next year or two.

The real tricky thing will be if Dak plays relatively well, maybe we sneak into the playoffs, so on and so forth. That would probably give them enough of an excuse to delude themselves for a few more years.

Dak is getting 60 million a year. He isn’t going anywhere. This is a move by the Jones’s thinking they’re the smartest guys in the room. This is not a rebuild, far from it. They are betting on their ability to be such drafting geniuses that they will be able to nail the picks so hard that this will be the Herschel Walker trade 2.0. The Jones’s believe the bullshit from the Netflix documentary they commissioned.

Couple things, listened to the Ticket recap of their reactions and George Dunham, who does have people in the building who talk to him, thought there were reservations about MP going back a while now and this trade didn't just happen in a few days like people believe. Said his lack of professionalism was a concern and that's not new.

As for reports that the two sides never communicated their offers, said he thinks they were, even if indirectly. (And I do too.)

Someone, don't remember who, thought that Jerry and Co, despite their claims, knew that this team wasn't a contender and the team was sort of at a dead end, and this is a way to try to restart and rebuild. I think there might be something to that. Jerry himself may be an overoptimistic football moron, but not everyone in that building (like McClay) is.

[SaveAHorseRideACowboy]

My guess is the meeting between Schotty and Parsons didn’t go well ?

 

[SaveAHorseRideACowboy]

If they realize all of a sudden their run D is fucking garbage, why not pull the plug on Mazi? He is fucking week old fucking trash.

No trade value
