google Trey Lance....read on for a few hours.

or perhaps you want to look up his stats in games he played so far.....don't forget he is a top 5 pick and supposed elite talent.

or are you really that lazy?
Not lazy. Just think we should be looking at the same information.

There's a lot of stuff both ways.

Not sure why you are so reluctant to share what you are reading.

It probably doesn't matter anyway. For every negative source you claim, I can match it with a "wait and see" source.

So either way...trying to get something form you has been / will be a complete waste of time.

If he does well he signs a market deal (55-60m) which when paired with 40m in dead money means a LOT dedicated to QB position next year no matter what.
Yes....we certainly have ourselves in a bind at QB no matter how you slice it.

just go google his performances for the games he played in NFL....take the name away and tell me if it impresses you? now put the name there and you are going to be biased.

he also came from small college. started only 11 games. he had something like a total of 300-400 passes he had thrown all his college career.

he was an athlete who they tried to make into an NFL QB. just not talented enough in the game to be good in NFL.

its not negative sources. its facts about who he is as a player. there is nothing there that anyone can point to and say, he is great, look at how great he has been. now in his 4th year in the league. traded for peanuts after SF traded a whole bunch of picks to go get him in top 5. Jerry blinked and offered a 4th...other teams were offering a 6th.

tell me anything that stands out about Lance?

I never said he was a standout. Im of the mind to wait and see what a second chance brings.

You are using some history there and not current information


If hes as terrible as YOU claim...id think the cowboys would have dropped him by now. Regardless of jerrys stubborn ego.
I Choose to believe the cowboys over you, for now. You can bring on all the told ya sos your little heart desires when if the time comes. You and 6 can pair up.

You mean like Jamarcus Russell?
And too many to count or list first round failures especially at quarterback the team who gave up three first round picks for the dude supposed to have a quality GM and that was one of the dumbest moves ever and that happens when people are reaching for quarterbacks and people are upset we gave a Fort for the guy seriously it's San Francisco it's got the problem then they turn around and pay their running back too much money in my opinion the guys already seen the best of Christian McCaffrey and they overpaid the man both in a trade and don't get me wrong the guys in exceptional running back but now they're having problems signing their wide receiver that's allegedly elite and everybody should get him I don't know how he's not on a team making $35 million guy but yeah other franchises make mistakes.. Anybody counting on this guy to be anything better than I mean his ceiling is probably Geno Smith but Gina Smith took a decade to get that way he regurgitated around the league until he got better.. We waiting five or six years for this kid to get good besides the fact that his contracts gonna be up and he's probably gonna be very greedy and want more money than he's worth.. However that said I'd still probably demoting Cooper rush and allowing him to either be traded or cut because we need to see what we have in Trey Lance not to be Prescott successor but if Prescott decides to leave himself and he's gone then we might as well have a year to look at Trey Lance get a great draft pick in 2026 along with every superstar in this team needs to be moved traded if there's no Prescott we better just go ahead and make this team lean and mean and start looking at 2026 and beyond..

We know enough based on what he has shown that his ceiling ain't that high. He is average to good at best. People making excuses about him and his play are just fooling themselves to feel good about him.

at best he maybe a one year bridge to the next QB
And those that say nay about are QB / football experts?

Again:
We do not know enough to say one way or the other.

Dak fans are the ones that seem to not like Trey, and have this, he sucks, attitude.

You're really trying to take a lot away from essentially 4 games (which weren't all bad), one of which was a monsoon?

From the article:

Kurt Daniels said:
It certainly seems like the Cowboys brass wants Lance to overtake Rush in the quarterback pecking order. After all, they'd like to get something back on an investment that cost them a much-needed 2024 fourth-round draft pick.
Mr. Daniels knows his employer.

Kurt Daniels said:
But the Cowboys know what they've got in Rush, who is considered one of the better backups in the NFL. Although he's not going to give you anything flashy, he knows the offense and consistently has gotten the job done.
Mr. Daniels plays Devil's Advocate.

Kurt Daniels said:
So do you roll the dice on someone with maybe a higher upside?
Mr. Daniels says a rhetorical question.

Kurt Daniels said:
Or stand pat with the old reliable?
Mr. Daniels plays Devil's Advocate again.

Kurt Daniels said:
Unless Lance really jumps off the page this coming August, I would think they stick with what they know.
The Devil has claimed Mr. Daniels' soul.

Not a lot. Just what I see. Just what it represent.

Take the name away. Take the Cowboys away. Look at the stats objectively and tell me you like it?

And there is no other evidence. If there is anything good I would like to see it and say there it is. There is hope for him.

We don't know enough...really

Ok you bulk at Dak stats even as a rookie.

Then you look at Lance a top 5 pick and claim we do t know enough.

So what gives? Why so much doubt and hope for Lance?

We need to see more. See him in MM's offense. See what he has learned the past year from sitting and learning and what he did, and will do in all the practices over the past year.
I do not go by anything before he got here. There were injuries, and how well did they try to develop him in SF.

Jimmy G was not the answer, and Purdry, though he looks very good. We seen he could not carry the team without his top players, either 1 or both missing. The offense struggled more.

So I just read a bunch of excuses for Lance. It doesn't count before he got here. We have to see him in MM offense. Blah blah.

He is a QB. Throw the ball with anticipation. Read defense. Go through your reads. He showed none of the above. Now MM offense is so magical that Lance is going to flourish!! That's is not realistic.

I am not bashing him. I just look at info available to date. Others are closing their eyes and because I am.not fawning over him, giv8ng excuses I get called a Lance hater

And what is his ceiling in your opinion? Is he elite? Or is his ceiling just being good. If he is good, why replace a good QB with another just good QB? Every one complains about Dak not being elite!

The goal is to get better...Lance is not getting better. It's replacing a meh QB with another meh QB at best.

Have you not been reading my posts?

I, said, we do not know yet. We need to wait and see.

How many other players, including QB's, struggled, then went to other teams and was very successful?
Maybe not so many QB's as other players, but still it has and can happen.

Thsi writer seems to disagree with your assessment:

"An enticing prospect in 2021, Lance had all the tools to be an excellent starter in the NFL. What he lacked, however, was the experience."

But of course you are bashing him. You certainly don;t appear to be pulling for him.

I take away the name and everything, and I see an extremely small sample size with mixed results that provides essentially no value or indication one way or the other.
