Mike Martz's take on Trey Lance

[Chasing6]

Is this a joke? Mike Martz inherited the "Greatest Show on Turf, the Rams, and ran that franchise into the ground. He is totally overrated.

If he was such a QB whisperer, then why couldn't he repeat the success he had after Kurt Warner with Marc Bulger?

I consider his opinion to be a resounding endorsement of Trey Lance.

Ahh ok.

Yes, he looked average on his way to runner up for Player of the Year.

What does runner up give you?? Nothing, booted from the playoffs...

 

[Philmonroe]

There's a large group of fans on this forum that think changing the quarterback (Dak) is the magic formula that will make all this team's problems go away.

Guess they weren't paying attention between 1996-2015.

Your statement is complete junk. Most just want him gone very few if any are like do that and championship here we go.

It does not give you average.

 

[Ken]

Sounds like he's describing Dak. Seriously.

It may be time to take a break from the Cowboys bud. You are jaded, seriously.

The guy was just All Pro and 2nd in MVP voting. You think this is someone who is close to what he is describing?

Lol.

 

[KingCorcoran]

More fans don't say it because it isn't true.

Dak started 11 games in his sophomore season, and every game his junior & senior seasons. In other words, he WAS a long term starter in the SEC.

Lance, on the other hand, was a one year starter at a Division II school, which isn't anything like Dak.

I don't care if your opinion of Dak isn't high, but at least get your facts straight.

If getting facts straight is important, North Dakota State is Division I FCS which is significantly more competitive than Division II.

 

[OmerV]

I did not take Dak until his Senior year in HS to win the starting job. Trance average 5 completions a game. Give me a break.

You did not take Dak until his Senior year in HS (High School?) to win the starting job... ? What does that mean and what are you talking about? lol Nobody was even talking about high school

And what are you saying about Lance? When are you talking about him averaging 5 completions per game? Is that some point in high school too?

You're right - my mistake

I guess you have no idea how sports work.

Typically to play a sport in college. You have to play it in HS or on a travel team.

Most NFL QB's, if not all played QB in HS at a high level against low competition.

Now some HS RB end up being a LB or a CB ends up being a WR. DL end up on the OLine.

That does not happen at the QB position.

Hence the reason, no one had any interest in giving Trance QB scholarship.

He was definitely more like a FB in HS.

Jersey sales!!! So you most have bought a lot of them.

Not sure why performance is bad in the post season?

1. The better more balanced teams make it to the playoffs.
2. Better teams take away your strengths and force you to beat them with your weaknesses.

That is why balance is the key, which GM Jethro does not comprehend, just like half our fans.

Why does Micah not play well against good teams and in the playoffs? Because they choose to neutralize him with double and even triple team him.

Why do we have so many sacks and INT's in the regular season? Because unbalanced crappy teams fall behind and become 1 dimensional.

Just like we do in the playoffs.

We are 1 dimensional on offense and defense.

We complain about all of our receivers accept CD. So defenses focus on him and then what???

I don't want a $30M 2,000 yard WR. I would rather have 3 $10M WR's at 1,000 yards a piece.

What do you think would be easier to stop?

No QB is going to win in Dallas until GM Jethro learns how to build a balanced complimentary football team, which would require a strategical all in rebuild.

Yep. That's what the better teams are doing. Neutralizing Parsons and taking Lamb away. Then running the ball right at our weak front. We don't have the run game to get them out of that defense. It's just a domino effect from there.

 

[KJJ]

I figured Martz would get ripped and called an idiot by some. Had he said the same thing about Dak he would be receiving praise from the fanbase.

It is really not that hard to figure out.

 

[TwentyOne]

Sounds like he's describing Dak. Seriously.

i was thinking the same.

maybe we wanted a backup with the same "skillset".

Jones is focused on his stars. the people you mentioned, Micah, CD and Dak are top 10 in Jersey sales which directly translates to money for Jerry.
Jersey sales happen mostly during the pre-season and regualr season. not post season. post season success is almost irrelevant.
some would argue if we win superbowl and have post season success it would mean more for Jerry. Perhaps. but right now, the current strategy has made cowboys #1 highest valued franchise and he has 3 of the top 10 jersey sales.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Maybe every time someone wants to say something critical about Dak, they should preface it with "I know the defense sucks, but" and then go on to criticize Dak.

I know the defense sucks, but Dak doesn’t have to suck in the playoffs too just because the defense does.

How’s that?

 

[KingCorcoran]

You're right - my mistake

Your point is still 100% accurate.

 

[Ranching]

I've been watching Dak for his entire NFL career. I think that makes me extremely qualified to have my opinions about him.

Been watching! Lol!

 

[KJJ]

The guy who won the award also got booted from the playoffs. When everything gets put on the shoulders of your QB that’s what usually happens. It takes a “team” to win a championship and the Cowboys don’t have the team.

Jerry is too dumb to understand that he will always have Jersey sales with America's team.
