Not to mention that our younger players have yet to proven to be anywhere near the level of "proven." I don't think we have the luxury to be getting rid of effective players.

Yeah, when people use him as justification for bad QB's, I facepalm pretty hard. Using an outlier to argue is just not intelligent.

That was a stacked team inside and outside on that DL. DB is the only player on our roster with any hope of seeing PT in that group.

Panthers games will still be free in the local market, so it won't impact that. I will say that if the NFL is damned and determined to make it as difficult and expensive as possible to watch their product outside of local broadcasts, I am likely going to opt to pirate or abandon further attempts to follow ALL the NFL. It's not hard with a fantastic Hurricanes team and a finally Jordan free and seemingly logical Hornets franchise.

I would say the argument isn't that he won't be picked highly, necessarily. But will this be another manufactured "generational" prospect? I will say given the hype train that has been with Arch so far, it's very unlikely he will be able to live up to it.

You think all this over a podcast???? Brother, I am just gonna let you cook on this holy quest you are on. In the meantime, I will contine discussing this insanely hypothetical trade with others.

Yeah, the character attacks are just purely hilarious. I just am not believing anyone here actually believes DB and a 3rd isn't an insane steal for Parsons as a hypothetical(and completely absurd) trade.

Did you even read that article you linked?? LOL

Parsons is unlikely to have a career as long as Peppers but if he maintains the same "level" of production and plays 12 seasons, it would result in a 124.68 sack career. I got this number by taking the percentage drop in Peppers year 5-12 drop from year 1-4 and extrapolating it out from Parsons sack rate. I also used the same game played percentage as a factor. That would be a top 30 career sack total and he would basically be 1-2 seasons of production away(which is very reasonable) from being top 10 all time.

I mean....if you had to go research all this to support your claims and the best you could do was one guy and a Reddit thread, I am going to definitely say that this seems to be some personal grudge or some other issue you are having. I am literally sending this thread to my friends who are die hard Dallas Cowboy fans and we are laughing our asses off in a group chat. If nothing else, thanks for the entertainment.

I am not sure I have seen a more illogical hill dying event than this. This poo is wild. Lol.

Look, I can see you clearly have some personal animosity towards Parsons to be constructing wild rumors to spread but the NFL cares nothing about that. He is one of the most valuable players in the entire league because of the level of player he is. That isn't going to change because you don't like the kid. It's more than a bit foolish to abandon all logic due to some personal axe to grind.

It really isn't. All of this "me first" stuff is complete nonsense. I am not sure how much more the league has to show that elite pass rushers are premium positions, despite the cost of them being literally at top 15-20 QB pay levels. Now, would roster dynamics and cap come into play? Absolutely. But if those are not on the table, I am very comfortable saying that there is not a single currently employed GM not pulling that trigger.

For reference, for the people who seem to not understand the context here, Panthers GOAT Julius Peppers was averaging 0.675 sacks/game through four seasons in his NFL career. Parsons is averaging 0.833.

I don't think there is a single GM in the NFL who wouldn't make that trade, if given the option. DB is a very good player. Parsons is tracking towards a HOF career.

This is true but this is all fantasy anyway. Dallas very rarely lets great players in their prime get away. He will get paid and remain a Cowboy.

I mean, arguably the greatest pass rusher in the NFL currently for a 3rd and Derrick Brown??? That's very one sided, IMO. Yes, Parsons does get injured a lot, so there is that. But Brown, although very good, is not a significant impact in the pass rush. He definitely could end up being that at some point but he absolutely has not been that so far. Parsons is easily worth DB and a 3rd.

I mean, that little compensation??? Absolutely. He isn't getting traded, however and certainly not for that.

Meh. Posturing.

This dude is just simping for "his guy." Another player fan in Panthers clothing. Nothing different.

He is supposed to be the contested catch guy. Good to see he seems to be able to do it at this level so far. Hope he can when the bullets are live.

It sucks to see. He has been rock solid for almost his entire career here. But, the franchise has some shaky cap situations coming up, so he may be a casualty in the end. I for one will always appreciate his time here and how much he has contributed. He will be missed.

It doesn't work for us.

This smells of BS. TBH, the whole story smelled of them trying to duck his contract.

Panic moves are Rhule/Fitterer stuff. LB may not work out this year, so be it.
