Micah Parsons has always been outspoken, often sharing opinions that some feel may not always benefit his Dallas Cowboys. As the team enters Christmas Week with a 7-8 record but winners of four out of their last five games, spirits are high. The Cowboys are preparing for a Sunday showdown in Philadelphia, where Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts is in concussion protocol and may miss the game. Normally, one might expect Micah to offer kind words about the Eagles ahead of such a crucial game, but true to form, he’s taken a different route with his “F Philly” rant.
Furthermore, when discussing the best quarterbacks in the league on his podcast, “The Edge with Micah Parsons,” he shared an unexpected opinion. Rather than praising the quarterback he’s about to face, Micah chose to highlight Joe Burrow, calling him “the best quarterback in the NFL” right now. Despite the presence of other standout quarterbacks like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes, Parsons singled out Burrow for his performance, particularly in the Cowboys’ loss to the Bengals on December 9.
Burrow, who threw for three touchdowns and 369 yards in that game, is having an exceptional season, leading the NFL with 39 touchdowns and over 4,200 yards. While Cincinnati sits at a mediocre 7-8, Parsons believes that a healthy Burrow is playing the best quarterback football at the moment. Given the Bengals’ underwhelming record, his comments have raised some eyebrows, but that’s typical of Micah Parsons, who always speaks his mind without hesitation.
