Rich Eisen reacts to 49ers trading Trey Lance to the Cowboys

[ghst187]

You are probably late to a few dances, the investment is minimal compared to the potential reward.

Seems like a Carson Wentz type reclaimation attempt except Wentz actually did something before going to the scrap heap…

Typical response in the opposite direction. Calling Lance a threat to Dak is like calling the Cowboys signing CB Josh Butler from the USFL in July a threat to Trevon Diggs.

An extremely raw, 23 year old QB that started a grand total of 19 games at North Dakota State and four games in the NFL is not going to walk into the building and save you from the torture of having Dak Prescott as the quarterback of the Cowboys.

However he does provide fans with an anti-Dak agenda a reason to attack their keyboards the first time he throws an interception this season. Have fun.

Amazing those satisfied with the ineptitude that is Dak Prescott.

 

[USArmyVet]

Defend what? Dak’s the starter and will be for the foreseeable future.

As a Cowboys fan that statement carries the same weight as someone being told they have rectal cancer.

 

[USArmyVet]

Or his reaction to the WR dropping the ball.

We get it, you defend Dak at all costs.

You drunk? Not making any sense.

Dak is a cancer to this team and his play is crap.

wow you were in the locker room and this is what it was like? Or is this your opinion from never being anywhere close to any of the players , coaches, anyone? I would love to hear real facts on how you found this out.

I don’t. But you will keep up your stuff anyway.

Not sure how you quantify as a smart move for the 49ers...3 #1s and a 3rd. For 4 games (2-2) and a 4th...that's a terrible return on your investment.

What the 49ers paid to get Lance has zero bearing on his value today. The market sets the value. By their own admission, a 4th was more than they expected to get. Most “experts” said a 5th was tops. So that makes it a good deal from their perspective.

 

[Sheepherder]

You don't make this move if the thought of Prescott remaining the starter doesn't absolutely disgust you.

Amazing those satisfied with the ineptitude that is Dak Prescott.

I'm not satisfied with Dak but why all the hate?]

 

[DFWJC]

I don't see a lot of people saying this is a threat to Dak.
Grieir will be gone though and it opens the door in the future for Rush to sweat some. Not yet though

Which is funny since I've seen Wentz get traded twice when it was clear he was washed (plenty of tape) and both trades were way more than a 4th.

But Wentz had way more starts and results when traded. He was an MVP candidate before getting injured. The first trade was also was somewhat affected by the Indy HC having been his OC at Philly. Even at that, it was 2nd round pick with an escalator based on playing time.

How’s he a cancer? Players, coaches and ownership loves him. He’s poised for a great season if he stays healthy.

 

[plasticman]

Actually, I think that Cooper's success as Dak's backup is relevant to Trey's ability to revive his career.

Trey Lance's career is in serious need of development. Currently, he doesn't have the experience and tools to be a successful starter in the NFL. He needs two years of learning behind Dak in the same way that Tony Romo did. I think that would give him a serious opportunity to be better prepared to face NFL defenses.

In order for that to happen, somebody else has to be available to play in the event Dak cannot. Cooper is that guy. However, if he cannot replicate his success of 2022 then that could force the Cowboys to put Trey in before he is ready. We have seen time and time again, how forcing in a developmental player destroys the entire process.

We often hear about players being "developmental" but that rarely happens. It did happen with Tony Romo and we saw the positive results. Hopefully they can do the same with Trey who I feel has a greater potential given his physical abilities.

 

[Momanpr100]

Never nothing wrong with a move that's low risk high reward

 

[Momanpr100]
