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

[TwistedL0g1k]

Wow. I woke up in the twilight zone today! 56 pages too haha.

- Glad the team will be keeping 3 QB's. I've long said the team should have 3 on the roster, so this makes me happy

- Grier sucks so bad. Really awful. I'm glad the team finally recognized this. Shame on the forum members who didn't.

- 4th round pick. I've been saying for years the team should devote a mid-round pick to a developmental QB every few years. Nice to see them do this. If Lance doesn't work out, do it again in 2-3 years.

- I'm shocked. There was speculation about this trade. I never thought they would do it.

Those guys can play, Lance is most likely a bust and not worth a 4th in my opinion but its not the end of the world.

He didn't look bad last week.

low risk, 23 year old former 3rd overall pick… what’s not to like?

If he doesn’t develop, so what? It’s like a lottery ticket

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I don't mind this acquisition. Why? Because if we move on from Dak, it will be time to tank, and there isn't a better QB out than Lance to lose us some games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok now that does sound good. I might be able to get onboard with that. lol

I think Fields could be a hell of a QB myself. I was impressed when we played Chicago that game.

Not gonna lie I was hoping the Cowboys drafted Fields after Horne and Surtain was drafted. You don’t ever want to end up in Washington situation when you pass over a Herbert.

He's as much a risk as Dak was in 2016 as a 4th round pick. A guy you think you can develop, right?

He'll be the QB3 this year. He'll sit back and learn from Dak & Rush. He'll be given the chance to learn the system.

PURE SPECULATION: If he's competent enough, he could learn the offense well enough by the trade deadline and Dallas trades Cooper Rush to Tampa or Arizona or somewhere that needs a QB2/1(due to injury)

It's ironic because a large portion of this board would agree on that quote by Jerry. Hindsight is convenient, but most posters see RB as easily replaceable.

Jerry basically said the same thing about Demarco and then down the road caved to Zeke and got lit up for doing so.

There is absolutely no way the Cowboys win Super Bowl 28 without Emmitt. They may see RB as easily replaceable today but the 1993 team started out 0-2 and only won their division due to a heroic effort by an injured Emmitt Smith in their last regular season game. Besides rushing for almost 1500 yards, despite missing 2 games, he was also the Cowboys 2nd leading receiver that season.

Jerry did say the same thing about DeMarco Murray and then promptly proved himself wrong as Joseph Randle flatlined as Murray's replacement. Most likely, Romo wouldn't have been such a target that season and might have remained healthy had Murray remained with the team. In either case, the team plummeted from a 12-4 season in 2014 to a 4-12 record in 2015.

The Rams did what lol? The Rams never tanked.

Rams tanked around 2016

As each hour passes I feel more and more happy this trade. I think the future of Cowboys football is upon us yeehaw!

 

[DandyDon52]

This was a great trade, 4th round for a former 1st round. Was he #3 overall?
Hilarious to see that some do not like this. You would think the anti Dak group would love it.

That is the same as saying the trade for whedon was also a good deal ~!
Just because a guy was a 1st or 2nd round pick doesnt make them good or worth trading for.

Jerry loves former 1st round picks, in his mind they have to be good or why were they round 1 picks??
evidently jerry doesnt understand about 1st rd busts

 

[DandyDon52]

ho hum, jerry got a cheap qb 3 , what I wonder is he making more than rush ??

 

[RonWashington]

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

I can tell you this much John Lynch was thrilled to recoup a 4th rounder on a 1st round bust .

This year no. Next year yes

 

[btcutter]

He’s 23 years old LMAO

Maybe you have better memory than I do. But I don’t remember a high 1st round pick who never started for more than 5 games for it’s original team in first 2 years of their career EVER manage to salvage their careers and become a starting (doesn’t have to be upper echelon) QB for rest of their career.

can you name 1 or 2?

 

[btcutter]

Agree on this point:
NFL evaluators take on Lance @draft
NFL evaluators take on Lance in August 2023

Two.Different.Things.

People get stuck in the past Way too often. He hasn’t shown ANYTHING.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I'd be fine w/ that if TL could play. So far he's been horrific, and just got beat out by Sam Darnold. And that's after being tutored by known QB guru Shanahan.

I love Shanahan. But he's no QB whisperer. His system is QB less. It was really confusing why they made the move to trade so much to get TL. SF needed the cash and found a way out. TL was signed for the same reason. Dallas will need cash for Micah. Dak eats too much of it. TL may have seen the writing. A Shanahan QB has a real short shelf life. TL prob wanted out and practiced like it.

Cowboys alone have had more than one. They came from the Browns. But if I have learned anything in life, never say never. Change is inevitable nothings impossible.

who? Bernie Cosar? Completely different situation. He was their starting QB for years and just came to Dallas to play back up to finish his career.

Gino Smith was a top 5 QB last year.

I was thinking Andy Dalton
