Linebackers seem to have a shorter shelf life than most positions, right up there with running backs.  They take a lot of physical abuse, so it wouldn't surprise me if Parsons has 2-3 good years left and then begins to fall off.

Yeah Von Miller is exceptional because of his longevity.  Definitely not the norm for pass rushers.

We went thru a trio of good middle linebackers from 2001-2019 (Morgan, Beason, and Luke).  Only Luke played more than 4-5 full or nearly full seasons for us.

I don’t see how Young will ever be worth what we gave up. The 2024 QB class at a glance already seems miles ahead of 2023’s and we gave up the 1st overall pick in 2024. We gave up Jalen Carter when we needed DL help. We gave up DJ Moore and 2 more 2nd round picks.

Young may end up being OK but he’s not going to be a top 5 elite QB. Fitterer fuged everything all up by not trading Burns, CMC, Moore and others in 2022 to tank as hard as we could to get pick 1 or 2 so we only used 1 pick for the QB and still had 3 more firsts (GB offered pick 15 in 2023 for Moore) and a second and not lost any of “our” picks. 

Just think, if we had stayed put in 23 and accepted the Burns trade, we could have had JSN in 23, Daniels with the 1 in 24 and BTJ with the Rams 1st and still have had another 1st this year.

Yeah, they are already talking about him having to be shot up to play this week because of inflammation in his back. Also, I understand the pass rush abilities, but at sometimes you need to man up on run fits. He failed to do this time and time again when teams decided to play down hill on Dallas.

I do believe, at this point, some teams have figured out how to stop him, or at the very least, blunt his impact.

While possibly true, having a guy like him means you might be more vulnerable in other areas because you have focus on him.  So in theory, it should make your other players better.  Of course, that is a theory.  Whether it works out in reality is something we will find out this year.  

Green Bay had a good defense last year, top 10 in several areas.  They should, in theory be better this year.

He had 10.5 sack in last 9 games of 2024.

Seeing DAL end up with Clark as the DL player in the deal, I'd have to think the draft compensation would've been far less if DB was leaving Carolina. Clark is good, but his age and overall impact, DB is a superior player and younger.
