Stephen unsure about starting Lance this week

They are idiots. That is why they are unsure.

Not playing him already is an admital that it was a dumb trade.

Pretty much the way I see it. They got burned and they don't want it to be public knowledge how much so. They should just cut bait like SF did and move on.

Since when would it be his decision and not the HC?

Memo to the NFL: For god sakes, please come up with a reason, ANY reason for the Jones family to have to sell.

Maybe if they run the option, Lance could start.

Two reasons for this.

1. They want Lance back for next season and don't want to expose him to anyone else so as to keep the contract offers low.

2. They have decided they have absolutely no plans to keep him and thus playing him would be pointless.

Those are the only reasons I can think up for not starting him. You aren't playing for anything except draft position so losing would be beneficial. Not that I would be upset if they won. I don't have it in me for that.

So MM brought him in for 1 stupid play yesterday? Why not just exhibit him in a public flogging if you want to ruin the chances of the kid catching on with a real football team? They have strung him along for how long, do they not at least owe him this? I don't care if Trey is the next stud or the next bust, you give him a chance to find a team that will actually put an effort into his development. I hate the Jones' so much

No, it just means the are idiots. The trade was good at the time. Hindsight, not so much.

 

[jazzcat22]

I would not blame Trey to refuse a deal with Dallas. And go get a REAL fresh start elsewhere.

Yes you are correct

Dear gawd, what a shambles. Then again I bet Jerry is going to double down and pay him to be our QB2 in 2025.

We want to finish strong...after the Philly nutcracker? Bwahahahahah!

Scoring 10 points and giving up 35 will be strong for them.

There's a very real chance we have three franchise QBs on the roster.

Does Dak hold out if Jerry makes Rush the highest paid ever?

The son of the owner answering this question is emblematic of everything wrong with this organization. Who cares what he thinks?

 

[thunderpimp91]

Any answer to that question that doesnt involve Mike McCarthy making that decision is a wrong answer...
