I really do not like that Jerry didn't even talk to the head coach before trading for Lance. When Jerry is impulsive nothing good comes of it.
They have one year to determine if he can be a QB in the NFL. I think next preseason he will get a lot of playing time.
More so, how come VP Stephen Jones did not present the trade to HC McCarthy as well ?
But it was not like McCarthy had the power to vote it down, ...if anything, he was gonna be out ruled and
" ask" to go with the trade move no matter what - just as he was " asked" to let Kellen remained the OC.
As far as trade value itself, I think this was a
great trade value for the Cowboys, with many plus factors:
- We're acquiring talent at the most demanding position in the NFL.
- Wil McClay staff had a 2nd round grade upon this highly regarded QB prospect
- We're addressing the backup QB position, instead of counting/hanging onto a physically limited Cooper Rush.
- It's only a 4th round draft pick for Lance; (A mid-round pick) ..not a 1st, or 2nd, or even 3rd rd pick. : if we can
draft the
Josh Ball,.. Jabril Cox, ..Reggie Robinson, etc. 4th rounders, why not a low risk gamble on athletic, high regarded QB prospect and talent like Lance ?
- Low risk/High reward trade, imo
