It's an opinion, which may or may not be correct. I'm sure there were plenty of people who said it was a great idea to buy stock in Apple when it first came out. It was unproven at that point, but eventually they were proven correct.
Exactly.
He is not playing the next 2 years unless an injury happens. After that he is a free agent who can go anywhere else. It is potentially an upgrade to the backup QB position but the backup QB does not really get snaps unless an injury happens so the upside is very minimal.
He is a QB guru, but let's not pretend he's perfect. He's had his share of misses over the years. All coaches do. Maybe Lance will fit what the Cowboys will ask him to do better.
Here is reality. Check out my last comment (film analysis of Lance's preseason video of 2023 before Cowboys picked him up). Horrible decision to trade for a QB who has so many flaws. No wonder the 49ers gave up on him in such a short amount of time.
Of course it is an opinion, which I do not agree with. It was a hyperbolic statement. Lance is unproven and so is this trade. To claim, "Best Jerry trade of all time.", is obviously trolling the forum.
So that’s the downside. The downside.
Usually, you'd say it's way too soon to give up on a #3 overall pick. He's had injury issues getting in the way of his learning, and he's young. By all accounts, he's a good kid and has a lot of potential. I have no problem at all with this decision. Even if it doesn't work out, there's no way to know what they would've done with next year's 4th round pick, and I doubt it would've had more possible upside than this.
Hyperbole? yes...Trolling? maybe...Wrong?...hope not.
Potential means you haven't done a thing.
Yes, it does. It also means there's a stronger than average possibility you will.
They dumped him for a 4th rounder, they must’ve had a reason.
I don't care if he's a Cowboy now. The Cowboys picked up a very good team's problems, and now we see why the 49ers were so willing to get rid of him after barely 2 seasons and giving up on him after spending three 1st round picks to move up in the draft to get him. The video is very revealing as to what ails him, especially with that sidearm, elbow hitched throwing motion. That kid needs lots of work and time dedicated to see if he can get fixed. If anything, this trade for him forces the team to occupy a spot on the 53 man roster to keep him. I can see why the Buffalo Bills were interested but refused to offer no future 4th round pick or better for him.
Anything that benefits the franchise is a positive. I hope your prediction comes true for that reason.
