I think the thought was 1) get him playing time in preseason and garbage time next year and flip him for a higher pick (assuming he plays like a first rounder) 2) have a backup QB with higher upside than Rush in the event of injury and trade Rush to get back a draft pick to partially offset the 4th given up.
He was awful before that. His entire hype is built around 1 starting year in college that will have been 5 years ago.
I live 80 miles from where the Niners play. I watch every niner game....yea, he broke his ankle, and he was also GRABAGE. At no time was he ever playing at a high level. His last game with the niners was preseason.... and he looked like a HS QB and that is what put the nail in his coffin as far as staying or going.
next season, whole point of why I say there is no point trading him in the off season
You don't know what Jerry will do with his contract, just like you don't know (safe to assume he will though) what he will do with Dak's. Also, great for Trey to want a chance to start somewhere, but what team on earth is going to hand him the keys when he hasn't played football in the NFL? He isn't a vet, and in theory a young team would be the one to take a chance on him and they will draft one next year. Unless Jerry gets a comp pick in the 3rd round, there would be no reason to give up a 4th for him, just to turn around and not extend.
The real point is we never should have traded for him to begin with.
4th Rd pick
Could it be that Dak now has better coaching for the first time in his career.....?
No one in the league would pay peanuts for Rush whomis 30, never was.any good. Why would anyone in their right mind trade anything for a QB with zero upside
What's a reach about that observation? Is it a coincidence Dak started playing with urgency after the Lance trade? I don't think it is. Dak has been in the league 8 years, the light bulb didn't just suddenly go on, he felt the heat.
Yup.
Uh, no. If that were the case, he would have played at this level long before now. Dak has had his struggles, but he is red hot lately. If he screws the pooch, it will not be in fear of Lance.
I think you’re right. It’s also why Sam Darnold started playing better so he could secure the QB2 position behind Purdy. And Purdy, knowing Trey Lance was on the roster, discovered how to play quarterback in the NFL. Trey Lance is why Prescott and Purdy are in the MVP conversation. Neither would be playing as well, but for him. Lance should be worth at least a third round draft pick just to go turn on “the light bulb” for other NFL quarterbacks. Maybe a second. What do you think? A 2nd or a 3rd?
Dak has been playing good every year but one and coming off an injury that year. Fans just don’t see it because they don’t look. No one in the front office thinks Lance is taking daks job lol and Dak knows he’s getting a huge contract and about a 99% chance it’s in dallas
