If Trey Lance gets his rhythm, do the Cowboys roll the dice?

[leeblair]

Trey Lance looked pretty good in last week's outing, considering that he hasn't played in a couple of years. Sure he had some misses, but he showed a lot of potential. With playing time his initial rough patches should smooth out.
So the question is, should the Cowboys roll the dice and commit to Trey Lance as the future since they have a more than capable backup in Cooper Rush, who has proven he can win if needed? They could solve future salary cap issues before they happen by locking Lance down to a four or five year deal for less money than they are expecting to pay Dak.

The Cowboys really could have Trey Lance ready to start next season for a fraction of what they expect to be paying Dak, who has proven that he does not come through in crunch time.
I think the fans would support the change, and a happy fan base means more money for Jerry.

If they aren't going to commit to Lance, why have him?

Lance played 65 snaps in preseason with the 49ers last season and sucked so badly he lost the backup spot to Sam Darnold. He again demonstrated vs the Rams he’s light years from being ready to be a competent NFL Quarterback. But sure, if you can find someone desperate enough to offer a conditional 6th or 7th take it!

It's funny how a certain group keeps telling us that Dak Prescott is the answer, yet we sit here 8 yes later without a championship.
They'll mock any other ideas, but they can't backup their claims that Dak is the answer.

To be fair, some fans can be ready to move on from Dak and simply not think Lance is the guy to replace him.

Not all fans are Dak homers or haters.

Hilarious how many of you think a franchise QB is easy to find.

Trey Lance hasn't even shown that he can be a decent BACKUP QB. He's running out of chances and that "potential" has an expiration date on it.

And no, he did NOT look "pretty good" last week.

The only reason they commit to Lance is to get a high draft pick in 2026. If they don't want to pay Dak, play Lance in 2025 and get a top 5 pick in 2026.

No one is telling you Dak is the answer. I just don’t know or think Lance has shown you he is.

Whether Dak is the answer or not is irrelevant. If the Cowboys want him they will sign him whether you or I want them to or not.

Yeah and at that point I’d question why aren’t you doing a fire sale. You should be trading Martin and Lawrence right now. And maybe even Micah. Hell maybe Lamb too. Not sure why he’d play here to play with Lance. But with him you can at least promise him a high draft pick on qb.

 

[JBS]

You are in rhythm

Midseason form

Arguably the worst poster on this board - that’s saying something

The QB that gets us to the SB is not currently on the roster.

Because there is no reason to trade these players. We're talking one bad year. Keep the core and get the QB. The 49ers just did it by accident.

The 49ers were a SB team and changed quarterbacks. The Cowboys are a perennial first round exit every year and maybe that’s because of Dak but one thing you can’t say is they are the 49ers. In no form or fashion. You can’t have one foot in and one foot out of a rebuild and if this team isn’t going to try to win with this core why would you bring the same team back with no improvement? It makes zero sense.z

The Cowboys are not always first round exits. They beat Tampa and they beat Seattle. It's stupid to get rid of your core when it's just 1 year. You would be an idiot. The major problem the Cowboys have is they use house rules to limit their success.

Lance and Dexter Coakley for Caleb. Who says no?!
