So is the Lance project done?

[DuncanIso]

Lance looked better than Rush.

Yes.

Lance is very athletic.

 

[DuncanIso]

Lance needs to start the next game.

 

[darthseinfeld]

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?

People say that he was playing with the JV, while ignoring the fact that he was throwing INT's to the JV.

Guys that are out of the league were making plays on his passes. Thats how bad he is

 

[NDGAEDE]

Lance is so bad. He can't play QB at this level.

That said, he needs to start every game for the rest of the year.

Rush gives you nothing. Lance can at least run and throw the ball in the air.

 

[nate dizzle]

No it's not done. The season is lost so you start him the rest of the year. Worst/best case scenario is first pick in the draft. Trade that pick to stockpile picks and reload in 2026.

 

[Xeven]

Honestly, I think you give the guy a game or two before you throw him out unless he. Throws int and fumble consistently. Gota give him time to feel the game and stabilize the emotional aspect.

 

[stinkface]

Really?? I think Lance is not a fit for our offense but the Cowboys offense is putrid. No weapons and no coaching both are more concerning then that interception against a prevent defense.

Agree. McCarthy has never coached a dual threat QB. Has no clue how to make it go. Get a hot shot college coach in here.

Thankfully I turned the game off in the 4th quarter, but I find it hard to believe that whatever Lance did in the 4th quarter was worse than what I saw in 3 quarters from Rush.

The Lance INT wasn’t his fault.

WR has to try harder than that.

and he knew the play.

#effort

Romo called it out.

future is now.

 

[Cmac]

Worth a try.....we've gotten a glimpse of the Cooper Rush Project.......why not?

 

[RxMan]

There is no trade value for Lance. The trade deadline has passed and he's a free agent at the end of the season.

 

[The Natural]

Give him a week to game plan as the starter.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

Play him and the first pick in the draft is guaranteed.

 

[CarolinaFathead]

Adreme was making the claim in the game thread that starting Lance was a violation of the sunken cost fallacy. In order for there to be a sunken cost fallacy it necessarily entails there is something to lose by starting him. We literally lose nothing by starting Lance over Rush.

Even during Rush’s 5-1 span as a starter, he relied heavily on the run game and a solid defense. The run game being effective allowed for him to have consistently open passing lanes to make a throw, but even then anyone watching him throw could see this guy barely has passable arm strength for an NFL QB, and even for a back up that is bad. People talk about having a high football IQ as being an imperative for a QB, and it is, but the first thing any QB has to to be able to do is make NFL throws consistently and Rush can’t do that. He does not have the arm strength.

Lance does have the arm strength and minimally that puts him above Rush in my book. You can be smart, read defenses effectively, and know the game like a master but if you can’t physically get the ball where it needs to be, you can’t play QB in the NFL.

 

[Mr_437]

It was done in the preseason for me. I'm surprised ppl are expecting him to help.

 

[BoysForLife]

I would let Dak play on crutches .............We might as well get our money's worth in laughs at this point.

As an added bonus I don't think it would significantly affect his Mobility

 

[jgboys1]

Done? No. It just barely got started!

If Rush isn't much better next week I'd bench him and start Lance.

I don't even know why Rush is in there anyway. This team is cooked and not going anywhere. just hope we lose out and get the best draft picks we can get.

Start Trey! What do you got to lose, another football game?

 

[DuncanIso]

Play him and the first pick in the draft is guaranteed.

Young QBs have to play to advance.

 

[sbark]

All the Lance bashing is laughable, who in the hell got the most reps in practice with the 1st team. Guaranteed Lance didn't and who got in his first game today in a real game. Maybe he does or doesn't work out but I think he deserves a shot like most other players for sure, and a quarter of a football game is definitely not enough to know.

Spot on
J.Goff went 0-7 his 1st 7 games...
Lights came on for him, darnold, msyfield, geno

Lance hasnt taken snaps in 9 weeks, msybe a few last week, but Rush got 95%

Could see Philly wasnt gonna let him roll out right....they had talked it over
