Without Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys could not have scripted a better start to Thursday night's opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Aided by a truly disgusting stunt by Eagles defender Jalen Carter, the Cowboys marched right down the field for a touchdown on the game's opening possession.
Still, that doesn't take away from the Parsons narrative. While Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer claimed the decision to trade the two-time All-Pro was a unanimous decision from the front office, coaching staff and players, it clearly wasn't endorsed by every player.
That was evident by reactions that trickled out on social media in the aftermath of the trade.
