Thought you were talking about Dak so chill. There wasn’t a better option available than Lance. We’ve gone long enough on this.
Alright so now we actually understand each other, never has to come down to a silly brawl, just education through discussion.

IF Dak is resigned, the Cowboys have to hope someone suffers a QB injury early and is desperate enough to trade for Lance and bail Jerry out from one of the silliest, nonsensical trades he has ever made.


I'll eliminate NFC East teams because the Cowboys should not be trying to help any of those teams, especially early in the season.

NFC North
Chicago - No. If Caleb goes down, the team will quietly tank and keep building towards the future.
Detroit - No. They have Herndon Hooker so he is their developmental guy if Goff got hurt.
Green Bay - Yes. Sean Clifford is not going to get it done. Lance is an unproven, watered-down version of Jordan Love.
Minnesota - No, they have their guy in J.J. McCarthy if Darnold gets hurt,

NFC South
Atlanta - Nope. Penix is up next.
Carolina - Maybe? Andy Dalton is their insurance but if Young gets hurt, he's still their future.
New Orleans - No. They have both Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler waiting in the wings.
Tampa Bay - Possibly. If Baker gets hurt, they have Kyle Trask. That's a recipe for last place in a really weak division.

NFC West
Arizona - I don't think so. If Kyler got hurt, they would just roll with Desmond Ridder.
Los Angeles - I seriously doubt it. McVay depends on QBs to make quick reads running similar plays out of various formations. Lance struggles with this and I don't think McVay could get him up to speed without training camp.
San Francisco - Zero chance.
Seattle - No. They have Sam Howell behind Geno.

AFC East
Buffalo - Slight maybe. Lance has some similar athletic traits to Josh. They would probably stick with Mitchell Trubisky.
Miami - They could but McDaniel is from the Shanahan tree and coached Lance is rookie year. I'd bet against it.
New England - Nope, Drake Maye is up next.
NY Jets - No. Those coaches are playing for their careers. If Rodgers gets hurt they would go Tyrod Taylor. Plus, they have Jordan Travis.

AFC North
Baltimore - Yes. Very much so. However, the Ravens FO would swindle Jerry and Stephen and we'd up trading another 4th for them to take Lance.
Cincinnati - They like Jake Browning so I wouldn't think so.
Cleveland - No. They have a full stable of QBs after Watson in Jameis Winston, Tyler Huntley, and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
Pittsburgh - They have Justin Fields waiting.

AFC South
Houston - Maybe? They probably just roll with Davis Mills.
Indianapolis - No. Richardson is their present and future. Flacco drives the bus if Richardson gets hurt.
Jacksonville - No? Mac Jones gets first crack.
Tennessee - Small maybe. Mason Rudolph is their insurance. They'd probably trot out Malik Willis for him to prove whether or not he can play.

AFC West
Denver - No. Payton already has young QBs in Nix and Zach, along with a decent back-up in Jarrett Stidham.
Kansas City - No. Reid like Sean McVay, needs guys who can make quick decisions to run his Offense.
Las Vegas - I think they should. Minshew is a JAG, and I don't believe in Aidan O'Connell at all.
Los Angeles - Yes, Lance is better than Easton Stick, Lance can run Harbaugh's offense.
Great write I doubt many fans will read…lol

Nice though!

We resign Dak during Camp or during the season, what is Trey Lance's thoughts or his next move????

1) He feels mislead and asks for a trade
2) He sucks it up and remains the backup and leaves the following season
3) He knows it was coming all the way long, but kept working hard on his craft to get better


I really need to sign up so I can do Poll topics!!! :facepalm:
At this point in TL's career, he's just happy to be on an NFL team and will go with the flow if Prescot gets his extension.

Nothing. Lance is not competing to start and is competing for the backup job. Right now there is not an NFL team that would view him as competition for their starter.

Those who believe Lance has zero trade value because he will be a free agent soon ignore 2 things: First- Lance could agree to a new contract as part of a trade, and Second- a team might give up a late round pick just to avoid being in competition with another team that might want to sign him. His trade value might be low, but it isn't zero.

Lance needs some stability and time to develop. Bouncing around from team to team is not helpful at this point.

I think JJ is done with Dak after this season though, and Lance will get the first opportunity to step up.

So he just wants a pay check.
Staying in the NFL is both his best chance to get a nice paycheck AND his best chance to get an opportunity to start in the NFL.

Doug Flutie
Jeff Garcia
Warren Moon
Joe Theisman
Vince Evans
Jim Kelly
Steve Young
Danny White
Kurt Warner
Tommy Maddox
Can you come up with players that left another league for an NFL job in this century? Some of these go back to the 1970s and 1980s
