So is the Lance project done?

[DuncanIso]

Chasing6 needs to change his alias to ChasingTrance.

Fans have agendas.

im all for developing QBs.

especially one that’s as talented as Trey Lance.

Dallas can make the best of a No-win situation.

 

[Creeper]

How do you develop someone that does not play in real games?

Rodgers sat behind Favre for 4 years. Romo sat behind some scrubs. You develop them by working on their weaknesses in practices. You give them garbage time and preseason snaps. Remember, Lance is not a rookie or 2nd year player. He got playing time with the 49ers. By now he should be showing something to indicate he can be an NFL QB.

I am not against playing him the remainder of this year. Why not. Even if he has one good game it could boost his trade value. But I don't think he is a long term solution for the Cowboys.

There's some irony there for sure.

 

[shabazz]

The debate will get the FINAL validation if they let him play out the remaining games.

There's been plenty of empirical evidence though

 

[Beastsfromthenfceast]

No , but the Cooper Rush project should be .

Rodgers and Romo played in college and HS.

Because he isn't signed beyond this year, why give him the platform to display his abilities for other teams, especially if you are planning on resigning him and continuing to develop him. They are going to lose with him or Rush regardless.

Because keeping him as the primary backup is a horrible idea, and if he performs at all he could net you a comp pick. I'm a fan of what Lance could be, but having him backup Dak would be a terrible idea. You really need a backup who can step right into the offense your starter is running. Lance needs a team that runs a lot of RPOs, read options, etc. which is all stuff that the Cowboys dont have Dak run at this point in his career. Unless the Cowboys have plans to radically change the QB position for 2025 Trey Lance needs to move on and try to catch a backup role for a team like Baltimore, Washington, Philly, etc.

I don't necessarily disagree but it's not like it can't be done. It's been said that they have packages for Lance (though we never saw them used) so it's likely we have been practicing those plays. And who knows, maybe Lance would look better after a full week of starter reps and throwing to actual starting receivers instead of Terrance Copper. Not like we can get much worse than what either of our QB's showed this past week.

I would agree with the idea of what you're saying, I just dont see the Cowboys actually using packages for Lance if they have a healthy Dak that they are paying insane money to. I would love to see that actually happen, I just dont think its realistic though.

I would start Lance the rest of the way this year, I actually think he has the arm talent, has the mobility, his issues are just between the ears and could very well be just from a lack of snaps more so than he is incapable. Worst case scenario Lance is a disaster and gets you better draft position. Best case scenario you found a diamond in the rough and figure out what to do with him in a few months from now.

Zach Wilson, 2nd pick 2021 draft. Fellow phenom.

The Cowboys’ season ends in 8 weeks. The trade deadline has passed. Lance is a free agent after this season. Why would a team trade for a person they can sign without trading assets for him?

He needs to start against the Giants.

3rd pick 2021 isn't dumb.

I was thinking is the Cowboys resign him. The more I think about it, the less sense it makes for them to have traded for him and not re-sign him. They gave up a 4th round draft pick for what? Then again, why throw good money after bad draft picks.

 

[Homer]

We gave up a 4th for him, just for that reason alone we should give him a few games and see what he can do. Full evaluation is needed. We know what we have in Rush, we need to be certain with lance.

 

[nightrain]

Jerry will extend him at $30M/year for 5 years.

 

[Chasing6]

There was an argument on that he was throwing interception because he was playing with the JV squad. Same results with the starters. Is there any trade value here?

When did it begin???

3rd pick 2021 isn't dumb.
