they had seen enough of Grier, and took a flyer on youth with upside. Plus, never know, reps on scout team to help us prep for running QBs could lead to a goal line package in the playoffs.

Nice bait. Not biting. I never said Jones wanted Lance to sit permanently as a third-stringer. In short, I stated my expectation of Lance being added to one day become Prescott's eventual successor.

My assumption is not based on a specific circumstance you thought up. I go by ALL the decisions he has signed off on at the position for decades.

This particular move by Jones does not mirror what you wish to happen, like his acquiring Amari Cooper for picks to immediately start as the NUMBER ONE RECEIVER, MIDWAY through the regular season, to boast a struggling wide receiver corps consisting of Michael Gallup and Cole Beasley.

That is the sort of trade-and-personal expectation you are thinking for the starting franchise quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, who has Jones' full support. It is more likely Jones thinks he has added his Jordan Love to the roster. That assumption aligns far more with what Jones has approved over the years than what you hope for.
He was brought in as a message.

Why not just sign Wentz. Flacco, or some other vet out of FA?

This was a message to Dakky poo.

sure, again run from anything that is a real conversation and would take away from the "I hate/love Dak" radio show you bring to the forum daily.
I don't really care about your thoughts on this enough to converse with you about it.

You won't change my mind and I won't change yours.

Learn to move on.

Whatever helps Dak fans cope.

Jerry has owned the Cowboys for over 30 years. When does he ever trade picks for players he has no interest in giving a shot to?
Naw, just reality. I am for finding a better QB than Dak. They should always be trying to find the next guy. Hopefully to avoid the mistake they made with Aikman. I've watched this team long enough to know what it looks like without a viable QB. You've seemed to let your ideology blind you to that fact. Right now Dak is viable, maybe he will or won't win it all but the team is competitive with him at QB. Until you replace him with someone better, it's just a bunch of BS you are spewing.

Lance is still raw but I’m excited for what he might bring to this team and I think everyone should be. I see far too many Dak fanboys already dismissing him due to how he “failed” in SF. He didn’t get a shot! Let’s give Lance a fair chance in Dallas and not run him out of town. I hope Dak has welcomed him to the team already. Show some leadership for a change!
This reminds me of the old days when Dallas was banking on experimental players like Henson, Hutchinson, Wright, etc.

"As long as we're competitive"

The modern Cowboys fan motto.

If the anti-Dak ideology kooks had their way they'd love to see another era of that. Flippin' horrific thought.

You'd rather see us stuck back in purgatory with the likes of Chad Hutchinson and Drew Henson I am sure. Just so you can get rid of Dak... LOL!! Talk about loserville. You've NEVER offered any real solutions other than saying "get rid of Dak". Pure silliness.

The logo for this ideology should be "ABD syndrome causing horrible QB takes since 2017!"

I have in fact, on many times said what I would do....

Bookmark this so you don't try the "you've offered no soultions line"

My alternative is to sign a much cheaper QB and have the same success that we have with Dak while looking for an actual QB that's worth that top pay. As I said you can lead the NFL in INTs and fail in the playoffs for much cheaper than you're paying Dak.

I don't think it's as difficult as some want to make it. The only thing that makes it difficult is hitching your wagons to a QB that needs a ton of help like the Cowboys have done for the past 15 years with Dak and Romo. Even then if you want to you can be on the hunt for your future QB. The last time the Cowboys took the QB position seriously was when they drafted Aikman.

I use the Rams as an example all the time. If Goff played for the Cowboys and led us to the Super Bowl like he did the Rams he would've been our QB for the next 15 years. Instead, the Rams knew he was a weak link, moved on, traded for Stafford, and instantly won the Super Bowl. Jerry would've NEVER moved on from that. That's an example of a team making a trade to get a missing piece.

Here's the other route the Cowboys refuse to do.... The Cowboys would've never traded up to draft Mahomes in a year that Alex Smith led them to the playoffs. Jerry and Co would have been 100% happy with that and would think they just need to put more help around Smith refusing to see that Smith is the weakness here. That's an example of a team taking a chance and drafting a QB, letting him sit a year, and then giving him the chance.

Then you have the Bucs and Brady. The Bucs moved on from Winston and signed Brady and instantly won the Super Bowl. The Cowboys could've signed Brady, but they didn't, because they didn't want to risk it or move on from Dak. That's an example of a team signing a high level veteran QB and it changing the whole franchise.

The last 3 Super Bowl champs have been teams that were taking the QB position seriously and either draft, sign, or trade for a QB while moving on from a weak link at the position.

So, it's simple really to me. You draft, sign, or trade for a QB. If it doesn't work out then oh well, because it's not working out with Dak either, but you have to take the risks to get the rewards.
