what message? that we paid a mid round pick, for a QB that was beat by a 7th rounder and a QB that was dumped by two teams before he got to niners and is no longer on the niners.

this is a reclamaition project. low cost. low risk. if it works out. great. we got a steal. if it doesn't we just only wasted a 4th round pick. chances of failure are much higher than success. we got two years to see if this kid can develop.

with that said, I like the move. its developing a potential good QB. Dak is 30 and team has to think ahead. its not about sending Dak a message. its the Bash Dak Over Dallas Cult, getting caught up in TMZ type mindset.
Good points!

So many people on here are so stupid!

Would we have a 57 page thread on whoever our 4th round pick would have been next year? Hell no!

We got Trey Lance for a 4th rounder. Its at the VERY WORST a loss of a 4th round pick. BIG FREAKING DEAL!

At best we have a great #2 and maybe even a number #1 or someone we can trade in a couple of years for a higher pick if Lance performs well but Dak remains #1.

This board is full of so many silly takes.

SF is the team who FAILED here. Not Dallas.
Of Eagles made this move this place would go nuts. I agree with you somehow people are knocking the Cowboys for this when it’s the 49ers who failed. Arguably one of the worst trades or all time.

How does not making this trade and picking in the 4th round of next year's draft help us win a championship this season?

I'll wait for the answer...
Nobody is winning a championship with Dak making Mahomes money. TL provides hope that the FO is open to doing something different at the QB position.

Just for craps and giggles, when he gets off the plane in Dallas, Jerry and Deuce Vaughn should be there to greet him.

Just like Hurts, Wentz was the best QB in football improving year over year his first couple years then he fell apart.

One year doesn't make a QB great. Stafford came in to a team that was built to win that year but not much more after that. The Rams look like more of a train wreck than Dallas does right now.

Garropolo has not really done that much more than Dak as a starter despite having arguably way better defenses and way better offensive lines than Dallas has had. I would say Dallas' receivers have mostly been better between the two. But not by that much.
Manifestly at the time stafford was available, he was hands downs a much much better passer than Dak . Not many will argue Dak was a better passer . And the cowboys could have saved 27 mil ! He went for 22 mil vs Dak 40 !! . and yes the rams went all out to win a SB . I wish we could have , it has been 28 years . I would take a few bad years if a SB is secured .

hurts accomplished in one season what Dak could not in 8 . Will see how he does this season ,

garropolo went to a Super Bowl. He is a better passer than Dak .

All you are doing is speculating too. If Dak fails I want us to try to get a real successor. I'm tired of all these Qb projects. None of them have panned out unless you like to stay mediocre forever.
I would hope when it comes time to replace Prescott they would get a veteran or at least someone with great potential. That’s not what this is supposed to be. This is the back up replacement.

Kyle shannhon who is QB guru who seems to get the most out of everyone couldn’t get this to work…

Maybe a 6th or 7th but a 4th rounder for a dude who is essentially going to be our 3rd string QB… yikes we got fleeced

I don’t know if KS is a QB guru.. his offense is built on the zone blocking schemes and running the ball, with a lot of play action. Who has he really developed?
