Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons appeared on Bleacher Report Live on Wednesday and he gave an opinion that is sure to ruffle some feathers.
Parsons was asked about the best quarterbacks in the NFL. The rookie linebacker named his top six quarterbacks, including some obvious names and then at least one not-so-obvious name.
Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, and Dak Prescott were the six quarterbacks that Parsons named.
Mahomes, Rodgers, and Allen are no-brainers. Prescott and Jackson definitely are in the conversation for the top six (I would include Prescott on my list).
But Murray? I'm not sure about that one.
Look, I'm a Murray fan. I love his athleticism. I think he's a great quarterback. But I don't think he's quite top six.
Murray has played in one playoff game in three seasons — a loss this year to the Los Angeles Rams (in a game where Murray didn't play well, passing for 137 yards, 0 touchdowns, and two interceptions). That's not top six material.
Both of the quarterbacks in this year's Super Bowl — Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford — belong in the top six over Murray.
Of course, ultimately it doesn't matter what Parsons thinks — as long as he continues to wreak havoc on whichever quarterback he happens to be playing against.
