GM Jeruh panicked and over paid for a player, that he will have to resign before they ever play a snap for the Cowboys.
You're absolutely wrong. Right now is the perfect time to trade for Lance if you're another team. Lance only costs $5 million this year, plus could be extended for less than the expected $22 million 2025 5th year option cap hit. There is no way the Cowboys can afford to pay any backup QB $22 million to sit on the bench, and there is 100% no way the Cowboys get rid of their super costly All Pro QB in Dak just to keep an unproven backup QB for $22+ million in 2025 which Lance and his agent will definitely demand more if he's to be given a chance to stay and start (even if unproven). You're willing to take that gamble and lose? You would lose the whole team, especially Micah, CeeDee, Zack and D-Law. They are here to win right now. This is why it's best to trade Lance right now while you can to a team who is in rebuilding mode and looking for young but cheap talent (even if unproven).
I think we missed the window to trade him with Denver.
And how does that contradict what I said? That just adds your opinion to my statement.
If it were up to me we would’ve never traded for him.
SF x 3 plus GB says his prime, play-off abilities may not be good enough.
Give the Cowboys a good interior offensive lineman and all purpose running back we will be fine.
The Niners had multiple 7th round conditional pick offers. Jeruh's offer was actually late in the process.
Seriously, you think Lance is a threat to Dak? You've really turned to disliking Dak if you truly believe that. Lance is not even a threat to Cooper Rush.
I did not say he was. I was asking if they fear he would be.
LOL.
Maybe he isn't, but it's crazy to me that people are just shutting the door already on a former #3 overall pick that is yet to see his 24th birthday. Trey Lance is 23 years old still. Dak at 23 years old was a rookie. I wouldn't completely dismiss the kid yet.
Meh. The only reason Lance would be backup this season over Rush is because Jerry is too stubborn to admit he was wrong.
The 49ers did after giving him 2 full years of coaching and playing. They had seen enough to realize they seriously made a huge mistake giving up 3 first rounds picks for this bust of a QB. They even demoted Lance to 4th string! That should tell you everything.
That can be said about other players as well....possibly even Dak after lackluster playoff performances (yes it is a team game and the defense sucked).
There were other circumstances involved with that as well.
The 49ers also had another QB on the roster they were fully committed to. It makes perfect sense to move Lance in that situation and avoid the QB controversy the second Purdy had a bad game. He may have been 4th string on the depth chart, but he was also 1st on the depth chart going into 2022, losing his position due to injury. We can make these foolish narratives all day, but none of it really matters. Lance may end up being total garbage his entire career, I truly don't know, but neither do you. There will be guys drafted in the 1st round the same age as Lance this year, and several QBs teams will draft to develop that are older than Lance. Plenty of QBs have failed at first and taken time to develop.
The 49ers would have easily paid $5 million for 2024 and $22 million for 2025 if after 2 years they saw and felt Lance had what it takes to be their starting franchise QB. Instead, they realized how much of a bust Lance is, they quickly demoted him to 4th string and started looking for trade partners in order to get rid of the huge mistake they had made and cost themselves.
No, they decided to go the cheaper route for a few more years.
