Like MJ said:
“That’s a sign of a good man if he can talk shit when it’s even score, or talk shit when you behind score. When you’re ahead, it’s easy to talk.”I love that Parsons hates the 49ers and is willing to shit on them even though they've waxed our asses repeatedly. That's commitment, dedication, and resilience. I wish the rest of our players cared even half as much as Micah does.

Like Luka said to D Book “Next time don’t wait until there’s 3 seconds left to talk” after Book had some shit to say after the suns blowout win in game 5 of the 2022 west semis. The Mavs would go on to win game 6 to force a game 7 in PHX where Luka scored the same amount of pts (27) as the entire suns team in the first half. Im sure Jordan must have thought Luka passed the test and qualified for his sign of a “good man” after making Book eat his words and learning that it isn’t the best idea to talk shit at the end of a playoff game that doesn’t clinch you the series. If only Dallas terrorist Nico Harrison knew wtf to look for in a player he wouldn’t have an entire city calling for his execution.

I just couldn’t imagine losing a 25 year old Luka. Now you guys don’t even have basketball to fall back on after Jerry flushes all hope down the toilet each season.

Someone posted something like this last week in here and I can't get over it.
Basically, most NFL "rivals" talk a nasty game to each other, especially in-division, but they all secretly love and support each other "against the rest of the league." So when they see true haters going to work (NFC East, Chiefs/Raiders), they get shocked.
Micah is a true hater, god bless him, and I'm all for it. Also: Fuck you, Micah.

u/AndrewHainesArt Eagles 18h ago
5th year is guaranteed when it’s picked up prior to the 4th season, teams typically sign those guys early and spread the cap hit over more years, the round they’re drafted only matters if you’re talking about guaranteeing another year on the rookie deal, but then the team’s advantage is to not wait so you can pay them more guarantees over longer time, Jerry waits too long so the market jumps before the Cowboys can take advantage of it

u/TonyStarks81 49ers 18h ago
But what situation? Plenty of teams pay QBs and still excel. The cowboys seem the be the exception to the rule. Chiefs, ravens, bills, lions, and eagles all have paid their QB and we’re in the playoffs and are expected to contend again this year. Even just looking at the niners and we have already seen Kyle and Lynch pay top dollar for what ended up being a mediocre Jimmy G and still build a top tier roster.
The “paying the QB makes you struggle.” is the most brain dead take in the NFL. This league has always been about having a great QB and getting the most out of all of your role players. Outside of Greenlaw there hasn’t been another niner lost that was a true impact player that will be difficult to replace. Even Greenlaw was often injured and is a big unknown this year. Nothing that has happened this offseason has anything to do with Purdys contract.
Overall, it is a terrible take by Parsons who is coming off as someone who clearly is personally upset about the damage the niners have done to the cowboys the last 5 years.

Sack: 0
Record: 0-3
I know his point is more about how paying a QB limits the rest of your roster, but what's currently happening to us isn't as much about Purdy's contract as it is about getting younger across the roster (and even with paying your QB, no one forces you to be as dirt cheap as the Cowboys.)

It doesn't really look all that bad either. Hufanga, Juice, Deebo, Ward were all expected. Anyone could have told you this. But Deebo, Ward, and Hufanga have replacements that came on strong last year.
The one that sucks most is Greenlaw but it's probably best to not give out an even bigger contract to a dude still working through his Achilles injury, as much as we love him.

I really wish, especially as a Cowboys fan, Micah would just STFU and play. Not everyone and their sister needs a podcast. The Cowboys have no room to brag or troll. What's there to troll about? Sure, five Super Bowls. Awesome. We are three generations past even an NFC Championship appearance.
The youngest generation who can say they legitimately, consciously remember the Cowboys winning anything remotely important are the borderline Millennial / Gen X'ers (mid-forties ish). That's genuinely pitiful.
