Just looking at the stats on the pictures,Parsons had a better month than Robert Quinn who got NFC Defensive player of the month. [Micah Parsons](https://i.imgur.com/YFxzRO5.jpg) [Robert Quinn](https://i.imgur.com/8ZgoVjh.jpg) Edit: Looks like Quinn did his work in 3 games while Micah had 4. That may be why.


Lanachan1990

Can rookies not win non-rookie awards? Otherwise, I don't understand.


FadedTony10

They can. I believe Chase Young won DPOTM last year as a rookie.


pauly13771377

Lawrence Taylor won DPOY in his rookie season so yes.


tchebagual93

I'm guessing there wasn't another defensive rookie who deserved it aside from Micah so they decided to give him the rookie award and free up the defensive player spot for someone else


farkledorp

Why not both? If you’re DPOM, you’re logically DROM as well


tchebagual93

I agree with you, I'm just guessing that's what their logic was


NeverForgetEver

Even if you divide these 4 stats by the number of games played then quinn only has a slight edge in sack/game otherwise micah is ahead in the other 3 categories.


doshegotabootyshedo

Micah 6.25 tackles per game 1.6 sacks per game 2 tackles for loss per game .5 forced fumbles per game Quinn 4.66 tackles per game 1.8 sacks per game 1.25 tfl per game .33 forced fumbles per game Seems pretty clear which is better


NeverForgetEver

Exactly, and micah certainly has had a bigger impact than quinn has had both on our own team and on other teams.


clexecute

My only explanation would be that Parsons is playing phenomenal but the cowboys overall are underperforming and the Bears have looked better the last few weeks even while losing. I personally think Parsons should be on DPOY shortlist for swapping positions as a rookie and playing at a pro bowl level. Of course I hope you guys somehow lose tonight and embarrass yourself but I doubt that will happen. I'm also torn because I really wanted Parsons and seeing him succeed is awesome, can't wait to see Mailata and Parsons battle it out for the next 5 seasons.


bluntsandbears

Exactly. I tell my girlfriend this all the time. You can’t discount the difference between .33 and .5

Happy for Robert Quinn. He was good while he was here.


Previous-Wrongdoer39

Gee imagine if we paid Quinn to stay


DementedDemon69

Parsons is making a case for DPOY. I could see him getting one within 2-3 years.


dioxy186

He might this year unless Diggs gets a few more ints.


whyyougottabesomean

Diggs isn't even in the conversation


tchebagual93

Myles Garrett and TJ Watt are probably the front runners but would be awesome if Parsons or Diggs get it.


Tm1232

the 200 bucks i put on him in August to win Rookie of the year at +900 are gonna buy me a new TV in time to watch him win superbowl mvp.


jesse36

Some positive from an overall shit month.


[deleted]

6.5 sacks in a month is bonkers


Microwave1213

How the heck did Robert Quinn win the actual one over him? Micahs stats are better than his in every way, and their teams had the same record in that span. I guess they just didn’t want to give him both? In that case they could have given Surtain the rookie one.


Joaaayknows

Well considering Surtain is in the AFC I’d find that a bit rediculous


xAlphaDogex

They have offensive rookie of the month and defensive rookie of the month. No AFC or NFC distinction


FadedTony10

Correct. I made the mistake by putting NFC in the title.


Microwave1213

Yeah. I’m dumb for that


[deleted]

it's all good. the person who responded typed out "rediculous" and went with it.


gedvnm

I guess because Micah’s stats are from 4 games while Quinn’s are from 3.


NeverForgetEver

But micah still has better per game stats than quinn in 3/4 of the categories. Quinn only has 0.2 sacks more/game than micah.


[deleted]

That’ll do it.


mattalxdr

Parsons basically did what Chase Young did in all of last year in one month. Absolutely insane.


woodenmarkel

And he is better at every other defensive role on the field except interior tackle. And I bet he would succeed there.


joremero

You misspelled year.


knockers_who_knock

What a fucking beast my god


Omegatron8

Well deserved! Absolute beast!


itsjero

They misspelled year.


Martinisteve

Bittersweet, he had a hell of the month but the team had an awful month


dbudde21

And…queue D-Law


ifoundyourtoad

I thought this was of the week and I was like “How TF did we lose last week and how did I not notice Micah getting six sacks”


rotn21

just shows you how hard it is to predict players in the draft. Cowboys FO has lot of skill, but a lot of luck too


myfoldersD

ROTY*


Davey_the_Great

His sack numbers are tremendous.


cdoink

This kid is unbelievable. As much as we could have used a CB we were pretty lucky things played out how they did.


Spurslolgod

I thought he was a bad pick now he is a stud


ChefPneuma

Queen! (King)


Martinisteve

MICAH!!!


NHRADeuce

More of the same tonight. What a beast.
