Prior to his 3rd INT with five and a half minutes left in the game, Trey Lance was 25 of 37 for 236 yards, one TD, 2 INT's. He had also ran for 90 yards and a TD.
If Trey had been taken out of this preseason game at that point and replaced by a "last team", no-chance, soon-to-be-cut QB (like every other position), it would be a whole different story.
Speaking of which, how many QB's this preseason played every offensive down of an entire game? How many were as active in the running game?
Whether it was due to indecision or a practice squad O-line, Trey was forced to be very active. Did fatigue have something to do with Trey's performance at the end of the 4th quarter?
Up to the point of that 3rd INT, Trey's performance wasn't spectacular, but it was an improvement over the previous two in terms of pass distribution and dynamic running threat.
My timeline for Trey has always been the 2025 season. I figured, if they gave Tony Romo over three full seasons before his first NFL pass attempt then Lance would be given two.
Speaking of Tony Romo, it may have already been mentioned somewhere that he once threw 5 INT's in a single game. He was still the starter the following week.
Did Lance do enough to earn 2nd team? No.
Did he do enough to earn another season? I would say yes. However, I think there are contract dynamics at play.
