He is, and it's grating. It's grading when they're not winning. And I know plenty of Cowboys fans that are rubbed the wrong way by how Micah Parsons does Twitch streams and podcasts. And when they're not getting the results that they want on the field, they start turning on everybody over there.
But I do think Dak Prescott's a bigger star than him, just because I observed on mute the A block of first take for a year and a half.
Well, but I mean, just Michael Parsons wants to be thought of as one of those personalities where Dak Prescott almost laments his celebrity.
He finally got to a spot where his teammates love him. But yeah, his act wore thin in Cleveland when they weren't producing. He got pushed out of there.
That was a nowhere franchise until Joe Burrow got there. They made it to a Super Bowl, and they made it to an AFC championship game. I don't really have many data points of Joe Burrow being elite when he's not surrounded by multiple world-class receivers. That's not a knock on Joe Burrow.
I believe Joe Burrow to be great, but I also know what he had in college and what he's had in the pros, and anytime they're good, with the exception of last year, they have two really good receivers at least to help Joe Burrow take them there.
And they didn't. And they didn't make the playoffs.
I don't disagree. If I'm paying a quarterback that much money, I'd like to think that, like Patrick Mahomes, we can afford to lose even a Tyree Kill. Ideally, if I'm paying my quarterback that much money, I can afford to lose Jamar Chase. I'm the Cincinnati Bengals. I never spend money.
I have a unicorn at quarterback that has done the impossible seemingly and has dragged my franchise from having the number, well, a top pick. He went number one. So a number one overall pick to a team that was perennially in the Super Bowl conversation. I trust a quarterback. What do you want here? What do you want us to do? We've addressed the defense by bringing in Al Golden.
I don't think it's enough to overcome losing Hendrickson and Hubbard, but they're going to have to change their business model because of the quarterback contract that they gave. And he feels strongly enough that I need T. Higgins to be what you need me to be.
But Joe Burrow could apply the pressure on guys like Hendrickson. He could have. He chose not to.
It's weird. Last week you were like, Miles Garrett should hold this franchise hostage and have as much power as possible. And now you're going on the other way around it. Like, screw you, Joe Burrow.
In good faith. I also think that you're calling for a power that historically just doesn't exist in the NFL. NFL players have never had this power that you were projecting onto Miles Garrett. It's just not the power dynamic of their contracts. They have very little leverage. They can't do what NBA teams are often faced with when it comes to star players doing that.
But I defer to self-recognition that I'm a loser franchise, and I've always been one, except for when Joe Burrow is here. And what Joe Burrow tells me he needs, I'm going to get for Joe Burrow, because that's usually worked out for us.
So a couple days ago, it seemed like Adam Schefter was very flustered and putting it all on Aaron Rodgers. Just pick. Are you going to play or not? It's the Giants or it's the Steelers. Are you going to pick or not? And Rodgers waited it out, and the most recent reporting is his top choice is Minnesota. But it's kind of weird because it takes two to tango.
And all the framing around the reporting of Aaron Rodgers and his decision, his preference being Minnesota, is if they want him to. So now it's another thing that we're waiting on to figure out when it comes to Aaron Rodgers. It seems as though it's been pretty much identified that Aaron Rodgers would like to play and play for the Minnesota Vikings. That is his top choice.
Now he's kind of waiting for Minnesota to reciprocate.
No doubt. It's probably the smartest public move that he's made in quite some time. And you're not overly threatened by the young quarterback because the young quarterback has to show that his body can even hold up. So, yeah, it's a great place for him. Absolutely, 100. I get it. I think he's doing the smart thing.
I would be a little concerned as to, well, I'm just really going to do the Brett Favre thing? Whole pass. I'm just going to do the whole thing. And I'm going to play Green Bay. I'm going to play my replacement. I'm going to do that whole thing. Really, I'm okay.
