The big storyline for the Dallas Cowboys this weekend has been less the 31-14 thumping by the previously 0-2 Chicago Bears, thankfully for Jerry Jones and co., and more focused on the imminent return to Texas for three-time All-Pro and now Green Bay Packer, Micah Parsons.
Since being moved to the midwest a month ago, Parsons has been a reasonable, if not next-level threat for the Packers, although he has managed 1.5 sacks in his first three games.
One of the more major talking points in the early week has been the decision made by owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, to not give Parsons the same type of recognition for his effort and services that was received when legendary running back, Emmett Smith got after leaving for the Cardinals.
“I donât think thatâs appropriate this way, Emmitt (Smith coming back) was a different story.” Jones said on Monday, via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “But thatâs not to diminish Micah. I think Micahâs got enough welcome out there. We just need to show weâve got antidotes for that.”
Jones’ reasoning feels sound; Smith played 13 seasons in Dallas that included 11 consecutive 1,000 + yard campaigns, 3 Super Bowl rings, 4 1st team All-Pros and 1 NFL MVP. Parsons became one of the better edge rushers in team history, but his legacy does not come near to amounting to that.
And despite some believing he would take offense to that, Parsons believed that the team was not disrespecting him by not giving him that same honor.
