PFT: Former No. 3 Overall pick Trey Lance to hit free agency

[DuncanIso]

I thought it was worth the gamble. Obviously it wasn’t but the 49ers gave 3 firsts so that was a much worse deal

Lance is UFA and his agent wants $$$$$

Not about ability.

We have Grier and likely draft a QB.

Thats 2M.

Cap broke.

1st round QB.

Yes, that's where he was picked by San Franciso ...

His agent can want in one hand lol he’s not gonna get more than vet min maybe some incentives. He hasn’t shown he can be a capable backup in the nfl let alone a starter. Someone will take a look but no big payday coming

1st round QB.

Free agent quarterback with 4 years in the NFL and a woeful resume. In addition, when his original team dared play him he was exceedingly injury prone. His agent has quite a challenge ahead of him starting next week. He’s going to earn his 3%.

When did Shanahan become a QB guru? He had Matt Ryan and lucked into Purdy. Also, Lance was a John Lynch pick. Sean Payton is more of a QB guru than him.

Why b/c Payton "lucked" into Drew Brees? Shanahan is cut from the same cloth.

If you aren't saying they should have just let him play then how is it you determined they had no intent to ever let him play? The fact that he didn't play doesn't prove that.

Again, he was a developmental guy. They didn't bring him in with the intent to play him immediately. His chances of playing always hinged on how the coaches saw his development.

I never said they should have just let him play. Can you show me I said that?

I object to signing someone with the intent to never let him play. There's a difference there and it's not subtle.

And it was NEVER about his performance. When Jerry signed Dak...that was it. There WAS an injury and Jerry rightly started Coop based on his experience.

My comment came from some small quip about "never intending to play Lance". I just don't think you should EVER do that. Even a "development" SHOULD have an intent to play.

True or not...I was only commenting on THAT. And yet here we are.

You suggested they never intended to let him play, so as I asked before, if you didn't just expect them to let him play then why do you say that? What support do you have for that belief?

As for already having Dak, of course the plan was not to have him come right in and take over for Dak. That's not the point of developmental players, which is what he was signed as.

You say even with a developmental guy there should be an intent to play him, but again, doesn't he have to earn the right to play?

I have told you SEVERAL times...it was NOT me that "suggested they never intended to let him play".

I TOLD you SEVERAL times...I replied to someone ELSE that made that comment.

What the f....you playin me?

These were your words. You responded to the the claim they never intend to play him by citing it as an example of mismanagement and the Cowboys proficiency at wasting his careers.

Having said that...if they had no intention of playing him they should have just cut him. I believe mismanagement of players hurt them (and the team) in several ways. The Dallas Cowboys seem proficient at "wasting" NFL careers. Certainly SOME team would have taken a bigger chance with him. Maybe?
