PFT: Jerry Has No Desire to See Trey Lance Start This Season

[stiletto]

In other words, Jerry saw enough of Lance in the pre-season.


"Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy regrets not giving Trey Lance some reps late in Monday night’s 34-10 loss to the Texans. But owner Jerry Jones has no desire to see Lance start a game for the Cowboys.

“I don’t know about that,” Jones said of Lance potentially starting. “I want to give our team the very best chance it can — in all phases — to be successful. So, we’re going to go here with the quarterback that gives us the best chance to win the game.”

Well there ya have it, boys and girls. Our esteemed owner has spoken and appears to have put his foot down, while talking out of the side of his mouth as well

There you have it. What an idiot. And what a wasted trade. Well most said that anyway. But now it is official.

More proof Jerry needs to step down.

 

[Big_D]

And he'll still resign him. Both guys are FAs so it really makes no sense, but it's really refreshing to see Jerry making these decisions.

He must be lighting it up in practice.

You are a total idiot Jerry, I cant despise another owner more than you, what a total moron you are.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Then why waste a fourth round pick on him? This is just unbelievable, seriously. Dude is either senile or Clueless my guess is a little of both

 

[Cowboys5217]

This sounds more like a Coach Jones edict.

Big Mike ought to start him anyway. Literally force Jerry to fire you mid game and take over coaching the team himself. He isn't getting another job in the NFL after this so might as well extend a middle finger to the most deserving of a middle finger.

 

[Flamma]

The coach needs to be in charge of who plays, not the owner. If I'm Mike, I start whoever I want. It's stuff like this that will make it difficult to attract good coaches.

It's neither. This is a "**** you" to the fans.

ANd people think a coaching change or qb change will fix this.

 

[Doomsday]

As bad as the offensive line is, I would think Lance's mobility could make a difference.

Rush's accuracy is has terrible and he is checking the ball down way too quickly.

Even Jerry knows Lance sucks but he continues to spin it was a good trade.

essentially in jerry speak he is saying he has buyers remorse

 

[Asklesko]

Starting trey lance means giving up on the season. Jerry can't sell a failed season.

 

[Cowboys93]

Lance could be horrible but I wouldn’t trust Jerry if he told me the sky was blue

 

[Risen Star]

If Jerry doesn't believe he should play then you know Lance is the best option.

Just do the opposite of that colossal moron and you will field a better team.

 

[shabazz]

Even Jerry knows Lance sucks but he continues to spin it was a good trade.

How can he spin it as a good trade if his pet project can't even dislodge a 2 million a year backup?

Jerry knows that with Lance's mobility ( his only asset), he may wreck this tank and actually beat the Panthers or Giant....no, Jerry sees the path to getting the highest pick, lol

This is the problem with this team. The owner or GM should NOT be telling the media who's going to start, play, sit, etc. That is your coaches responsibility. I don't know why any self respecting coach would want to work for Jerry. He undermines his coach. The coach should also be able to pick his own staff.
