Micah Parsons Traded To Packers

[bbgun]

Law of averages says we are due for the opposite?

I dunno. They lost Love last year in that kickoff game and fucking Malik Willis won both of his starts.

Our run defense has an almost totally different core than that 2023 Swiss cheese playoff defense with guys like Clark, Murray, Sanborn, Kneeland, and Liufau joining Damone Clark and Osa.

Osa still doesn't stop the run, but many of the others are proven.

So it's not like Clark is a magical solution by himself, but he's a major addition and central to our new approach. All these other guys are going to be better because of him.

Plus the Hot Boyz are dead

I'm not fully buying those reports coming out about Micah and his podcast being an issue in the locker room. Maybe it was a mild annoyance but the social media reaction by Cowboy players after the trade was announced tells me they were disappointed he was traded.

Jerry can trot out that lie about the team's "leadership council" okaying the trade all he wants. I saw for myself that multiple key players/veterans weren't happy with the move.

I think it's becoming increasingly apparent that there were some teammates that were behind him and some who he rubbed the wrong way (like Hooker and Lawrence, and apparently Dak?).

Sherman James will be resurrecting it once he's a starter.

It's also impossible to know what the real situation was with Micah in the locker room, I don't think it was quite as bad as is being portrayed but I also don't think it was nothing, especially with how over the top immature he was about the negotiations over the last month, which I think was the final straw.

Pretty much how I feel.

 

[Genghis Khan]

but if a guy is talented enough, you live with it.

Pretty much how I feel.

You know the universe will not allow this.

Remember back in the day when we acquired Cleveland's first rounder? They had been picking in the top 5 for yeeeeeaaars. Then when we get their pick? Yep. They win 10 games and we now get pick 20.

I seem to remember that happening with us and the Bills as well. Back in the JP Losman days.

I'll have to double check.

 

[Genghis Khan]

yep. If anything, players should hate draft picks. These are potentially players taking their jobs.

I don't know about that.

If you're a LB or a CB or something, and they draft a RB that makes the team better, I don't know why you'd hate that.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I'm really digging the AI era. Remember, be kind, because it will remember you in the future.

I've already reminded Grok that I was nice to her and so when the robots take over she should spare me.

 

[Cujo]

Jay Cutler? Oh my fuck.

 

[Cujo]

Yeah, that Morley dude appears to be a Packers megahomer. The equivalent of some of the BTB morons.

And I actually don't mind Clark at all, even if he's older. Say you got that late second or third... sounds good now, but what if that's another Bossman or Giraffe Wright?

It at least gives you another opportunity to acquire a starter

 

[NoDak]

Sherman James will be resurrecting it once he's a starter.

Who the fuck is Sherman James?

Refreshed my memory.

It all centered around the 2004 draft when the Cowboys passed on Steven Jackson for the Bills 2005 1st round pick. The Bills were coming off a 6-10 season and had been bad to mediocre for about 5 seasons.

Most Cowboys fans assumed they'd be sub .500 again in 2004 because Bledsoe looked washed up in 2003 and because Losman was a very raw rookie who was a bit of a project. But somehow they managed to finish 9-7 in 2004 and the pick they traded to the Cowboys ended up being no. 20.

How do you not love this guy?

 

[boozeman]

How do you not love this guy?

He is a real locker room dude.

Too bad he might have at best two years left.

 

[Smitty]

Get fucked you lying piece of shit.

 

[Smitty]

Of course, I wish we got more too. Can never have enough draft.

But in the end, is a pick in the low 50s worth not doing this deal? What if the alternative was having him fake his back injury, miss games, be a huge distraction, and have his value continue to decline? I don't know I can say that would be worth it.

It’s a mismanagement of the asset if you put yourself in a position that it will continue to decline.

If you are gonna sign him, sign him.

If you are gonna trade him they could have made that decision and gotten way more by acting earlier or at least not at the last second. They could have done it at a time when they didn’t have to limit it to only teams who had spare DTs because they could have gone and signed one in free agency with the money they saved.

Maybe three, maybe four. You never know.

 

[Stars]

I don't know about that.

If you're a LB or a CB or something, and they draft a RB that makes the team better, I don't know why you'd hate that.

you’re right, I was speaking on a very surface level. In a vacuum, you’re a starting corner. Or maybe starting slot corner. They draft a better corner and suddenly you’re a backup or maybe bouncing back and forth between practice squad and roster.

Of course there’s way more moving parts and other teams involved- so it’s not a 1 for 1 equation, but mainly I was agreeing that active players really wouldn’t care or even think about future picks a GM got in a trade.

I don't know about that, the dude has kind of been a warrior at this point. Even with the foot thing he played the entire season.
