It's safe to say that, after two games, superstar linebacker Micah Parsons is making exactly the kind of impact we expected him to on the Green Bay Packers.

After totaling two pressures and one sack in his Packers debut in Week 1, Parsons was a menace once again on Thursday night against the Washington Commanders, when he posted eight pressures and half a sack in the dominant 27-18 win.

The Packers are just playing on a different level defensively right now and have two big statement wins against elite teams to start the season in large part due to what Parsons has added.

After the game, Parsons spoke to the "Thursday Night Football" crew and Packers fans could be heard chanting "thank you Jerry" in the background.

Of course, they are thanking Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones for trading Parsons to Green Bay.

The Parsons trade is already looking like a generational mistake on Jones' part and it is shaping up to be one of the biggest stains on his legacy in Dallas, if not the biggest. That's a high bar to clear, but Jones might do it.

As he has displayed through two games, Parsons is a true game-changer in every sense of the word and that's not someone a team should ever trade, and that's especially true for a perennially disappointing team like the Cowboys.

There's no doubt Jerry should have handled things better and just gotten a deal done with one of the league's best players. But this is Jerry Jones we're talking about and the most logical approach isn't always the one he takes.

It's going to take a long time for Cowboys fans to get over this, if they are ever able to. If Parsons goes on to win a Super Bowl in Green Bay, that will only extend the grieving process.
