After further review, Lance was meh. He had zero interceptions...boohoo bring out the parade.Trey Lance threw ZERO interceptions in 41 passes, he faced a heavy rush and stood in the pocket and delivered the ball while being hit.
You weren't going to see him look like a 10 year veteran playing in the Super Bowl. The Cowboys were playing a scrimmage against a team they had shared practice with, and they used backups.
But what you did see was a guy who wasn't afraid to get hit, a rifle arm, and a guy who was disciplined enough to realize he couldn't turn the ball over. You saw a guy who scrambled vertically and picked up yardage. You saw a quarterback who kept his cool throughout the game and was mindful of his responsibilities.
There wasn't much to see in a scrimmage game that meant very little. So you focus on the basics. His accuracy was off, but only in his timing with receivers he hasn't yet built a repor with. His instincts were good and his willingness to take a hit to complete the play is something that is sorely needed in the Cowboys quarterback position.
Timing can be acquired; discipline can be taught but takes years.
Instincts cannot.
A quarterback either has them or he doesn't.
I think there is a lot of potential in Trey Lance.
Whether or not he can be "the guy" remains to be seen.
But I saw more discipline under center and more instinctive leadership from a Cowboys quarterback than I saw all of last season.
The kid has potential.
He had ZERO tds... oh wait tell the parade to wait.
He had 4.7 ypa. Which tells me he dumps it off. Because he is afraid to push the ball down field. He missed WRs by a mile at times which tells me he is afraid to make tight throws.
He couldn't score when defense gave him 4 turnovers..
Lance was the pure definition of average to below average
But this is you declaring tashard choice is as good as Emmitt Smith and kellen Moore was HOF material.
You know absolutely nothing about player evaluation. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
