First inklings of problems with Micah Parsons in Dallas?

this pretty much says everything you need to know.
Link - ( New Window )

What we heard before the draft. Some people cannot help themselves and $$$, fame etc will not improve that situation.

this twitter reply and would not be shocked if this was planted:

That may have put some teams off, including the Giants. That looked foolish but maybe not as foolish as it seemed.

First I’ve heard of trouble with him—but as great as he’s been, they keep going belly up in the playoffs. Frustrations are building. Finger pointing is inevitable.

LT had all kinds of character issues but no one ever accused him of being a me-first guy.

If the Cowboys know the true story, how would planting a story like this shift any attitudes?

is one thing, sexually abusing a teammate is another. And you can bet more details came out when the NYG were doing due diligence during the draft process.

That's why he wasn't on the board.

who knows. Maybe it doesn't shift any attitudes. what is the purpose of leaking it if it came from a Cowboys source?

I don't believe in coincidences or randomness.

Cowboys have to pay all of Dak, Parsons and Lamb.

one of them may be odd man out.

The Giants didn’t have Parsons on the board because of his character and we drafted Kadarius Toney instead.

Don’t forget that the Giants so telegraphed their draft that the Dallas Cowboys comfortably traded down with the Philadelphia Eagles around us for Devonta Smith because they knew the Giants weren’t drafting Parsons under any circumstances

Nor did the Giants part with the draft pick to move up the one slot.

Nor did they draft Rashawn Slater.

Please trade him to some team in the AFC.

But it's still a lot less than what I've been hoping for.

Hmm- your point is meaningless..

Only thing LT had was a lil coke issue, but things go better with coke

Without causing problem

it was planted by someone close to the Dallas organization. Contract discussions are probably coming up soon. Gives Dallas cover if they decide not to pay him.

Other than that, I don't see anything. He isn't capable of playing MLB at any level of football.

I'll die on the hill that circumstances even got him to be a hand in the ground defensive player, iirc their DL was decimated the year he was drafted so they put him there. LVE was on the outs and they drafted him to supplant. He's not an off-ball player. He's terrible vs the run.

Such an overrated one-dimensional player that would've been a bust here in NY, considering our past coaching staff.

For stretches last year.

He had no impact in big spots.

I don't know. Partying all the time including before games. Coming to practice hungover. Missing time fro cocaine usage. Constant special treatment from his coach. Can definitely see argument for me firstism. His talent was so otherworldly and his on field play so relentless that it was all overlooked.

That warned against drafting Micah Parsons. The worry was never about legal issues. He just rubbed many teammates wrong and was the asshole jock that most thought only existed in movies/TV Shows. He was also noted as being very self-centered and had a tendency of "roaming" (Doing what he wanted rather than what the defense required) at Penn State.

.

#1. Gettleman passed on this guy and selected a high-character WR named Kadarius Toney.

#2 Micah Parsons never let the Giants forget they passed him up and so he decided to humiliate our offense for several seasons.

understanding is that DG wanted to draft Darrisaw after the trade down with the Bears, but the Giants drafted Toney because that is who Judge wanted.

Fuck em.

DG should have stuck to his guns. Imagine those two bookend OTs.

we didn't draft him.

from the annoying but harmless (Patrick Crayton) to domestic abusers (Greg Hardy), with all manner of goons on the spectrum between those poles, I cant even imagine what it is he's doing that's got their hackles up. Could be really fun and irresponsible to speculate tho.


I heard he accidentally killed a hooker.

I read DG wanted Parsons too. If he took Darrisaw we could have had Garrett Wilson instead of Neal, sigh

That was the miss for sure.

I've been a lifelong PSU fan and would have signed for Parsons, too. But Slater would have been another great player to pair with Thomas as bookend tackles.

It's amazing how badly Judge (and Garrett) completely fucked the Giants. Not only because they were so bad at coaching they make Urban Meyer look good, but Judge's draft pick preferences continue to haunt this franchise...

Judge was awful but he wasn't Urban Meyer bad. Urban Meyer made a mess out of a sure thing QB.

This is just some talk jock throwing out something provocative to get attention and ratings.

Four years later just waiting for the I told you so moment. Hahaha.

Think this is a BS article.

I'm pretty sure there used to be a difference when I was a kid, but not since then.

Micah or more realistically Micah’s camp might take it as truth… could cause friction especially if Dallas low balls him even a little come contract time…

Parsons is really going to become a huge problem after he gets paid.

Has there been a response to this story in Dallas? Surely it didn't go unnoticed in Dallas so you have to figure one of the area publications, websites, bloggers, etc, must've followed up on it with their own sources.
