Signed by Cowboys 49ers Trade QB Trey Lance to the Cowboys for 2024 4th round pick

I like it, worth a shot.

The overreactions is this thread are hilarious lol, a mix of disgruntled Dak riders who don't like what this could mean for their golden messiah and sad trolls who just want to see the Cowboys fail and always whine no matter what they do.

If Lance is so "wonderful" why did the 49ers give him up?

 

[kskboys]

Exactly... Everyone thought he'd be good. You can seek a contrarian opinion in any instance. Lance was named the 2022 starter for a team that was potentially headed to the Super Bowl.

Not true at all. Many thought SF made a big mistake.

Lance was handed the starting job in 22, correct. Didn't earn it, got handed the job. And then proceeded to complete less than 50% of his passes w/ 0 TD's and 1 INT.

SF was desperate to start him, but he kept sucking and getting hurt.

Steve Young was not drafted into the NFL out of college.

You know the main point here....yeah?

Lance?

Instead of focusing on the minutiae and minor details here....the POINT is.... 99.5% of the guys like this (top5/10 pick --> failed --> moved to 2nd team) .

Hey...maybe you'll scrape up a 3RD example ( out of hundreds) that was useful.... to distract from the fact that the overwhelming historical evidence points towards this being a wasted 4th rd pick... go ahead and post it. Hey... maybe you find a spelling g mistake or something to point out....

He’s on the anybody but Dak wagon

He is one of the most non committed people ever. He just wants to.complain. his understanding of actual football is very. Ery close to nil.

But here is his opportunity. Put your name next to it. B!thing about Dak. Calling him a 4th round talent. Now put your name next to 3rd over all pick.

But he has no balls.

 

[JayFord]

I can’t read 46 pages right now. Please tell me no one is complaining about a 4th round pick on a guy that was drafted 3rd.

Or lie to me I guess.

no its exactly what you think it is

a bunch of Eagles fans pretending to be cowboys fan and slandering it because that 4th rounder was going to be our ticket to the superbowl

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I can't wait for the "We want Lance!" chants.

Are you putting your name next to him?

Do you have balls? Or do you wear a pink tutu?

You been asking for an9ther QB. Here is 3rd pick of draft.

Man up

 

[hutch1254]

What a waste. Would rather keep the 4th rounder. Lynch high fiving everyone after he dumped their trash.

 

[JD_KaPow]

Abstract values...and as if depth and IR won't show strong this very next season.

Tony Pollard isn't abstract.

 

[reddyuta]

good move.i am not looking for a starter but if he can replace noodle arm next season then it's a good investment.

 

[Proof]

A 4th round pick is a high price for a guy who has had several physical breakdowns . Speaks volumes of what the FO thinks of Rush and Grier . It’s a bold move .

not to mention a supposed qb guru that gave up 3 firsts to acquire him is cutting bait in favor of a 7th rounder coming off devastating injury and a bust on his third team

 

[Catpappy]

Welcome to the team young man. I wish the best for ya

 

[CCBoy]

Tony Pollard isn't abstract.

Get your story straight...the comment was about San Francisco and where their current offense would go if Christian McCaffery were lost to their offense. Not last year's playoff game as any reference.

And yea, boat loading directions with abstract not applied facts was at issue. A ton of wrong can raise it's head as well. Even for the 49's. They had about a decade long lapse of team effectiveness during the Dallas draught as well.

 

[jazzcat22]

Trey Lance is garbage. I knew that before he was drafted.

BS he will be better than than goof ball in KC.
you just don’t like it because he is a better than that Wentz guy.

 

[Reid1boys]

Ill translate Lynch's GM speak.

Lance sucked.... we took a shot, gave him an opportunity and he couldnt stay healthy. When he was healthy and on the field... he was worse than Babe laufenburgh... and let me tell you... to be worse than Babe, you got to really be bad. So Im just happy we got a 4th for thi terrible QB.

 

[jazzcat22]

We want Lance!
We want Lance!
We want Lance!

After how many plays.

The Dallas Cowboys completed a trade on Friday evening, just a day prior to their final exhibition game. Looking towards building out the depth on the roster, the club struck an agreement with the franchise that has ended their season in each of the last two years.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the club has agreed to trade a fourth-round draft pick to the San Francisco 49ers in order to acquire the No. 3 pick of the 2021 draft class, quarterback Trey Lance. Lance recently lost out the competition to be the 49ers backup behind 2022 seventh-round steal Brock Purdy. Lance left the team after the decision was revealed and on Friday was sent packing to Texas...

The team likely hoped Will Grier, who spent last season on the practice squad, could be the upside third quarterback, this season. However Grier has not been very impressive in extended action during the preseason.

Rush will likely still be the No. 2 quarterback for the foreseeable future, but Dallas likely is looking for more potential out of the role and Rush has probably hit his ceiling. Moving on from Grier is now likely as the club eyes a future with more upside from Prescott’s backup.

The cost of the fourth-round pick seems high, but there were certainly other suitors to try and make Lance into a reclamation project.


While not anticipated, he would give the club insurance against the worst-case scenario in Prescott negotiations. In the expected world of another extension for Prescott, Lance could be a key free agent if his skillset ever catches up to his potential. QB salaries being what they are, a viable Lance would net the Cowboys a third-round comp pick in the 2026 draft were he to leave in 2025 free agency.

 

[Proof]

He has all the tools, let's see what the QB coach MM can do

does he? his only fbs offer was as a safet, and he has one year of fcs.

You're just a clown.

The Cowboys now have one of the more solid QB3 options for 2023 and a potentially great QB2 of the future​

If you did not know the NFL now has an emergency third quarterback rule. If you have a third one on your 53-man roster, we presume Lance will fill this role, they are allowed to enter a game for you in an emergency situation without being a part of the 46 players who are active for the game in question.

If Trey Lance truly does develop, the only problems that generates are good things​

While it remains unlikely that Dallas would make a move at the starter, if there is a better player available, isn’t that a good thing? Similarly if Lance plays well in parallel with Prescott then the Cowboys have the ability to flip him in the future for some sort of compensation. Remember that Lance is only on the third year of his rookie contract although we will see if the team picks up his fifth-year option in the spring.

The talk shows will be rabid with this, but everyone who works at The Star is used to that. The only problems that come from this are good things for the team in the overall. Lance has a high-quality character so it’s not like he is going to be some sort of locker room distraction.

Dallas paid nothing significant for a lottery ticket​

Again, we know that the Cowboys have been wanting to draft a quarterback over the last few years. They just did that at the price of a fourth-round pick. That’s nothing (although Dak Prescott himself was one).

Consider that on Thursday the Arizona Cardinals sent a fifth-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for Joshua Dobbs. One of my favorite recent moves of this kind, annoyingly, was the Philadelphia Eagles sending a conditional sixth-round pick in 2022 to the Jacksonville Jaguars for Gardiner Minshew. Neither Dobbs nor Minshew were ever thought of in the way Lance has been from a prospect evaluation standpoint.
