He has trade value. It was reported that several teams were interested in Lance.
The trade value for a guy who has been a 3rd string QB on 2 teams, who can't beat out Sam Darnald or Cooper Rush, is Zero, zilch, zip, nil, naught, nothing . The stuff you smoke is a lot better than mine..

Lance needs developing. We knew that at the draft and when we made the trade. We knew he wouldn't get any snaps this year. Not new news. I don't understand why some keep saying we should put him in before he is ready.

He won't take any reps from Rush this year. Again not new news. The soonest he will be on a field of play for the Cowboys is preseason. It was true on the day we made the trade and still true today.

How on December 26th "Jerry screwed up royally trading for this bust" doesn't make a bit of sense. This trade might end up being a bust. But that won't be determined until a long time from now.
Either way it will be a bust for us, just like it was 10X worse for the Niners. The only question is, whether he makes it for some other team in the future.

Based on???
Based on his contract and lack of experience.

Paying an emergency QB $5M next year is idiotic.

Dak will get resigned. Like it or not.

In 2025 we are not paying Trey $20M to sit the bench. No team will trade for him to pay him $20M. He will be released and at best signed to a 3 year minimum contract with bonuses.

I don't smoke, now that you said you did I understand your post.

Yeah, for a 6th rounder, and his value only goes down the closer he gets to free agency unless he shows marked signs of improvement.

I’m not saying he can’t or won’t be traded, just that it’s more of a gamble than I personally would have liked.
Of corse it's a gamble. I'm not saying they will trade him. He might develope into a backup or starter. We don't know how good he is.

Every QB is still working on their game. However some have actually played the game significantly more than others.

Throw him out there too early? This his 3rd season. He won’t be playing anyway this season, he’s not the backup. The only way he’ll have any chance of developing is by playing. The longer he’s on the sidelines, the less likely he’ll become a solid NFL QB. If he doesn’t get on the field until 2025 he’ll be stale. The Cowboys may look to trade him by then, because he’s not going to be happy as a backup. He wants another opportunity to be a starter and that won’t likely happen with the Cowboys.
Sounds as if la diva is not a role player.

Let's not ruin all the progress by throwing him out there too early.

Let's take a look next preseason and then put him back on the shelf. That fruit doesn't ripen until 2025.

The greatest enemy of player development is impatience.
Too early.
Hmmm.
...
He is a 3-year veteran. Or is he our pity project?
What, will we carry the lad as a project or to showcase Lance for a 4th?

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.
Another wasted draft pick on one of Jerry’s pet kittens. We could have used that pick and packaged with a second for Henry or a first for surtain back when the broncos were a mess. But no. Jerry needs to look like he made a steal. Look at me. Another fail by Jerry
