McCarthy: We've adjusted some things in Trey Lance throwing motion

[MoistMayonnaise]

I hope that the throwing motion changes help his defense reading ability.

I would have to think….that if there’s a scenario under which Lance excels…to the point where they want to extend him as a starter, they would also look to retain McCarthy.

Otherwise you’d be asking Lance to learn yet another offense, and asking your new HC to accept Lance.

They’ve put themselves into a strange spot.

Don’t forget it’s not even completely up to them on the Prescott decision.

They better hope Dak gives them a discount, because he will definitely make more going somewhere else.

Well on year 4, the last year of your contract is the time to fix it? What was he doing the last 3 years?

It's his first year with the Cowboys and typically that's an offseason type of adjustment not an in season one. That's the downside of trading for a project player that late in the offseason. SF may have tried to make mechanical adjustments, but I don't really know.

Well he did not have a season last year. Never was expected to play as the emergency QB. So we just wasted a year???

There's been reports that they are utilizing an old technique known as "Lamars Limp Wristed" throwing style that was first seen when Lamar Latrelle used it throwing the javelin allowing the Tri-Lambs to win the fraternity championship.

He's now throwing lefty.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

“We’ve asked Trey to start throwing with his left arm instead of his right arm.”

Why? His throwing mechanics have been one of the biggest knocks on the kid since he was drafted. Typically you don't want to play around too much with a QBs mechanics in season so it makes sense if it's been an offseason adjustment.

If McCarthy thinks he can decrease his release time and increase accuracy with some mechanical tweaks what's the harm? I think you have to look at Lance as playing with house money at this point.

It’s hard to change a QB’s throwing motion. It’s something that’s ingrained. He’s probably had virtually the same motion ever since he started throwing a football. I remember how Denver kept tinkering with Tebow’s throwing motion. He kept reverting back to his old mechanics. It’s never a good sign when a team is tinkering with a QB’s throwing motion especially heading into year four.

You mean burned money???

3rd season but the dude hasn’t played hardly at all. This doesn’t bother me, we will see how it translates in preseason

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Let you tell it his job can’t be saved lol.

He knows he’s currently a lame duck.

His only hope is the unknown (Lance) getting a chance and looking great. Hopefully he’s given that chance. Because it would be unfair to Mike to expect him, in a make or break year, to do anything with the perpetual loser at QB now.

If Lance doesn’t get that chance then Mike Zimmer is the next coach.

Teams don't typically trade for project players. They wait for them to be cut or offer a conditional 7th like every other team did.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

So not only does he need playing experience, but we had to adjust his throwing motion.

So what was the "adjustment"?.

 

[fivetwos]

They better hope Dak gives them a discount, because he will definitely make more going somewhere else.

In the end I truly feel as if they will reach a number that both parties can live with. Just a gut feeling….

That’s not to say I’m in favor of it or not. I really don’t care at this point and it’s exhausting.

I think they can win with the guy but they can’t have coaches with inferior/dated schemes or be without reasonable to higher end talent around him, and uhh…we know the rest.

 

[coult44]

If they’re adjusting his throwing motion that’s not good, especially with this being his third season.

Because this never happens : LOl.
OMG, the best of the best do this all the time. It’s how guys get better

I would like to think when we find out he is a complete bust, that the Owner would fire the GM.

If there were a real emergency of course he would have played.

 

[Qcard]

He did and punted on 2nd down.

Kyle Shannan had no problem with Trey Lance's throwing motion.....Shannan just traded him on 3rd down

 

[DanTanna]

This is horrible news for Lance and the Cowboys. It almost guarantees failure for him. Just watch. But his biggest problem was being slooooooow in reading defenses. Changing his throwing motion just tells us he needs to be a WR.
