Jerry Jones on Trey Lance: We Didn't Tell Anybody Until After We Did It

[Pass2Run]

Jerry was asked if he gave Dak a heads up about Lance coming in.

"No."

"We didn't tell anybody until after we did it."

 

[calico]

Non story.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Gee Jerry, ....keeping your mouth shut.....what a concept.

 

[Pass2Run]

I wonder if they ran it by Micah.

 

[speedkilz88]

I'm sure coaches & player personnel discussed the possibility long before the call.

 

[Risen Star]

So after it was done did he tell Prescott or McCarthy first?

McCarthy didn't know until after it was done. Same for Dak.

'Twas Jerry and the scouts, he says.

As far as Dak or McCarthy.. I assume McCarthy. But IDK.

 

[Catpappy]

Jerry is a beast

 

[Vtwin]

That's a bit of a bombshell to drop on McCarthy.

I believe this video and several others, including two I have posted, are an insight into how Jones has overseein drafting for the quarterback position--even during the past decade. Namely, a prospect is given a draft grade on their board and they follow their board exclusively.

None of this is surprising but it does underscore how adamant they keep to the board pretty much every year. Quarterback prospects who fell to them according to their grade were only strongly considered. Naturally, the availability would occur more often in mid-to-late rounds than on day one or even day two, since other teams were situated better on the board to get a quarterback or they aggressively moved up or down the board and got their man.

Meanwhile, Dallas stood pat many times, perhaps putting out modest trade offers to other teams to move or down a round but not gambling any huge investment. This should help those fans, who were constantly aggravated by Jones not going after their pet cat quarterbacks.

Problem with this kind of drafting/trade/FA attitude is that you only luck into top players after the first rd.

There is this thing called calculated risk that the Boys seem to ignore. Frankly to win big you have to, at times, risk big.

Dak and MM are employees. They can read about it in the sports page the next day.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Jerry is a savage…

 

[slick325]

Oh, Jerry....smh

Lots of truth right there.

Probably Schefter or Rapaport

I was going to post this because there was a lot of interesting things about this interview.

1. Is there a rift with Mike? Normally they speak as one voice on stuff like this? This seems very divided.
2. Also Dak not consulted? I know it doesn't matter to Dak, he will handle this fine bit why not that heads up?

3. The SF fans comments. To see of them giving kudos to Jerry and how Trey is such a good kid who finally has someone in his corner. Didn't expect those comments.

4. The open comments about possibly having drafted Hurts if he was there. Risky comments...

I have no doubt he checked in with skip bayless before he made the trade. Skip will say that on his show in about ten years.

 

[Streifenkarl]

Don't have time to watch the video right now but does the "we" really not include MM? They couldn't possibly have left him out of that decision.
