Just turn on the TV and watch these talking head idiots talking about how screwed up of a mistake Jerry made and how Dak is on borrowed time. I’m not worried about Dak. He’s poised to have a great year and will be here a long time. Just unnecessary distraction going into the regular season. Just look at all the threads here and posts, including yours, about how giddy yall are. Y’all will be demanding Lance play after the first bad series. It’s coming. It’s happening now. And in the wise words of Parcells, y’all got sucked.

Who is Gitty not me. I just don’t see a downside. Fourth round pick for a potential Best back up starter in the league.

There is no sizeable flaw here, the only flaw is you not excepting my opinion based on what I saw.. One of the things I hammered home that I loved about Trey's game was his lighting quick ability to step up in pocket to avoid pressure, and let me tell you he does it well and I'm sure many on here wish Dak was more advanced in that area. I never in my post said that Trey should start over Dak, what I said is I saw some things he did better which should encourage all of us.. Shanny over in san fran even admitted that he let Trey down and put him in too soon which led to some bad injuries and a lack of progression..

I find it quite sad an amazing that some of you can objectively read my post and think I was starting a Dak hate thread. This is something I have never done, in fact I've been one of the fans in his corner.. Bottom line man, Trey is a talent that can be developed much like Romo was... He is a high quality dude with tons of upside so I'm glad we have him in our QB room.. Rush is like Drew Bledsoe with lead feet, we need a young buck with talent that is eager to win the starting job, and let me tell you, he will have a chance to do it in the next couple of years if he isn't traded..
I read your entire post and quoted your comments back to you. There is a great deal of blue sky in your hopes and dreams. I have watched his highlights and he benefitted from receivers wide open and poor tackling in some cases. To actually compare him to Romo in development is premature and will be interesting to see how that ages. While I believe Romo scuttled his own ship when he went all Brett Favre tossing the ball to the other team at the most inopportune times. Romo still developed his skill set to be a pretty terrific QB. He was his worst enemy trying to do too much, or make a pass he shouldn't have been trying to make.

At this moment Lance is a press report. Something Jerry covets like scotch.

It's been explained in full detail. Our Defense carried Cooper Rush, especially since it was at the beginning of the season. Go look at the offense's points per game under Rush and compare it to under Dak. Look at each QBs game statistics. There you will have your answer.
yes AC but you said dak had no team, So rush went 4-1 with no team that was actually worse at start of year.
They both had same defense.
So my point is dont blame the team for daks poor perfomance in some of the games.

(also the yahoo game is ready to go, sept 5th same pw as last year.)

See, I told you that folks would be calling for Lance because they think he’s better than Dak. Just wait until the first bad series.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but it seems like your post implies that you don’t want to add talent to the roster because some fans may opine that the backup is better than Dak. If so doesn’t that sound like an emotional position to take?

Wouldn’t it be better to have better players than inferior players all the way through the depth chart? Better players seems more important than fan’s feelings and even Cowboys’ players feelings to me.

Again, you either didn’t read my reasoning or you’re incapable of understanding.

I know, I know, another Trey Lance thread, but hear me out. I spent an hour looking over his play from his rookie season to current pre season action and I came away with a few things that separate him from Dak. Of course Dak is more advanced at this point but I saw a few things that Trey had that Dak lacks..

#1. His ability to naturally step up in pocket instinctively to avoid the edge rushers and make positive plays either with his arm or feet. This is something that Dak is horrible at in my opinion and it's an exercise in frustration for me to watch.

#2. His release is much much quicker and his arm is way stronger. Yes, I know, he has a wonky side arm release that needs work but at times this funky mechanic gets the ball around edge rushers for positive plays so I will leave that up your eyes on that one..

I've always been a Dak fan, and not under some false pretentious that Lance is going to take Dak's job but I seriously see some very good intangibles with this young man and can see why we traded for him... If Fat Mike's Qb school can iron out some of these wrinkles we very well might have a nice starting QB in a few years for the cost of a 4th rounder.
None of the above is remotely true - zero .
Lance has shown none of the above , in fact @ 23 he’s a slower than Dak @
23.
