On pace to beat his mark at 41 games no doubt.

Revisit this conversation in ten years.
Parsons dominating just like LT did so far. So far. They are extremely similar except for one thing….LT dominated for a long time. But so far Parsons is on track.

Just curious for people who say that he isn’t LT, and the comparisons were silly, what hasn’t Parsons done to make you a believer?
He hasn't played long enough.

He may end up being great. He's on a great pace overall, but will OCs figure him out, and take him out of the equation? That doesn't happen to dudes like LT. LT was they guy OCs knew they had to have a plan for, and it didn't matter. Is Parsons that guy? Maybe, but it's just too early. He had 12 sacks through 11 games this year, then he had 1.5 sacks the next six games. Why?

He may be the next LT, or he may be the next LA (Lavar Arrington), but right now it's too early to tell, and the comparisons are silly as you said.
