Lance still working on his game

[Captain-Crash]

He saw a plane flying by.

 

[KJJ]

He broke his ankle and his hand.

Their bad luck. Our gain.

He didn’t play well prior to his injuries and after his injuries when given an opportunity last summer. They clearly made a big mistake drafting him as high as they did. They’re lucky everything they gave up for him didn’t set them back. We gave up a 4th round pick for a QB who at best will be our backup next season. I don’t see this trade working out much better for the Cowboys than the trade for Drew Henson who cost the team a 3rd round pick.

 

[big dog cowboy]

it has been proven so far that he is not talented as his draft status.

Nothing has been proven yet. He was raw and needed time to develop. We know that. He was thrown into the fire at SF before he was ready. We know that also. The book on him isn't finished.

 

[KJJ]

Not when he was third in line. You have your facts wrong, buddy.

He was third in line because that’s where he ended up after a QB competition last summer. You obviously haven’t been following along or are in denial. If anyone doesn’t know the facts it’s you. He was given every opportunity to be the starter, but Purdy and Darnold out played him.

exactly. he is raw. not sure he will develop. needs time to prove. he is not a phenom. despite his draft status being top three its proven he is not that talented. he wasn't thrown into a SF fire. he went to a perfect place. great QB coach. great team. great defense. great RB, great WRs. he just couldn't hack it. Purdy was thrown to the fire and he did fine. Dak started his rookie year and he did fine. both QBs took advantage of what's around them.

lance is more like a 5th to 7th round talented, who got over drafted (as QBs often do). he has a 50/50 chance or less. so far his NFL career looks pretty bad.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Okay man. Whatever makes you happy. If thinking like about your opinion makes you happy...by all means!

its not about making me happy. its about facts. its not about wishful thinking. if you like to think he is all that and he has high potential. then think that. be happy. facts to date say otherwise. future is not written. its about probability based on given facts at the time. end of story. now you can go to your Madden NFL, and turn up all the settings to 99+ for Lance and revel on how great he is going to be. more power to ya

 

[KJJ]

Lance played like 16 quarters of college ball it’s not his fault the 49ers reached for him he was probably less prepared than Romo at the same stage.

The 49ers clearly reached. Lance wasn’t nearly as good as they thought and once they saw no hope in him they traded him. He went through a couple of offseason’s and training camps and couldn’t even win the backup job. We’ll see if he can beat out Rush next summer.

Welp...once again you are wrong. How can you be wrong so often?

I don't have Madden, never did.

You have already sealed Lance's fate. Some people FORCED you to say "up to now"...but you are still sticking with the "I am more right than anyone else".

When it has not been determined. There are a few crumbs of events, sure. But he wouldn't be the first one to revive a slow-starting career. You ignore THAT evidence.

Atlanta saw "no hope" in Favre? Why else trade a future hall of famer?

They didn't know how the story would actually turn out. Much like this cowboysfaninhouston fella.

I have a feeling this is more about Dak than Lance, judging from his M.O.

 

[OmerV]

Let’s admit, in deference to the NFL, Trey Lance is as useful as breasts on a fish. Let’s “take a look” at someone who at least has been playing quarterback, at some level, before considering a known failure to take the reins of the Cowboys.

This is knee jerk. The jury is still way out on Lance. Did you really expect him to come in mid season and take the world by storm?

Certainly no guarantees, but at a minimum there is plenty of reason to think he could become a high quality #2, and the traits that had scouts thinking he could be a quality #1 haven't vanished. Time will tell, but an injury prone rookie season and sitting behind an established starter his second year isn't giving him that time. Success doesn't come from quitting when things don't go ideally from the beginning

He broke his leg and throwing hand.

Favre only spent one season in Atlanta and was traded because Jerry Glanville needed to win now. Glanville recounted the situation in an interview. He said Favre had a lot of potential but Glanville was on the hot seat and Favre wasn’t ready to start. Atlanta received a first round pick for Favre, so it’s not like they were desperate to get what they could and dump him. The 49ers were looking to cut their losses and dump Lance. The best they could get was a 4th round pick. The Cowboys were looking to cover themselves in case Dak continued to regress and they didn’t want to extend him.

He broke his leg and throwing hand.

He wasn’t playing well before that and he couldn’t even win the backup job after the injuries.

Not this season.

2024.

 

[DuncanIso]

He didn’t play well before that.

Looked good enough for Dallas.

His highlight videos on YouTube are impressive.

He throws a lot of TDs in those highlight videos.

So did Drew Henson. Lance’s NFL highlights were not impressive.

 

[KJJ]

He throws a lot of TDs in those highlight videos.

Those were in college. Some of you need to stop watching his college tape.

With the Lance trade, that 2021 Draft is insane!

Now if we just had an elite RB….

Nope.

NFL.
