Trey Lance: Cowboys Starter in 2025?

[Jimbo123]

From his draft profile:

Overview​

One-year starter who dazzled in 2019. Lance is mature for his age, but will be just 20 years old at the time of the 2021 NFL Draft. He's a rare dual-threat quarterback in that he's tasked with setting his own protections and reading the full field. Coaches rave about his football IQ and film work. They believe he will come into the league more football savvy than most of the quarterbacks in this draft. Tape shows very average arm strength but velocity should improve with better lower-body drive. While his recognition of coverage danger is a plus, he's currently more of a "yellow light" quarterback who needs to find a "green light" risk-taking mentality to become a playmaking talent in the NFL. An offensive coordinator willing to blend his run/pass talent with a play-action attack could get the most out of Lance, who should become a good NFL starter.

If any of this profile were true, why is he still a 3rd string scrub team QB going in his 4th year? It would help if you had watched some of his preseason play for last year. He had a terrible preseason, except for 1 fourth quarter against players who ended up working at the car wash in Sept.

Broke his throwing hand and then his leg.

I wonder why we did not pick up the Phenoms 5th year option? At only $25M for a QB that would be a steal.

Cause our cap is jacked up.

 

[Chasing6]

Cause our cap is jacked up.

No. 5th year is for 2025 cap. Not for this year.

Nice try.

So now our Phenom is going to be a free agent.

When do teams not pick up the 5th year option on Phenoms? Let me me help you out.

NEVER!!!

They will extend him.

Our cap is jacked.

Nobody's laughing at your 3rd string phenom satire any longer... Just give it up..

Your Trance will come to an end soon.

Usually wears off after year two.

Kid is talented.

Some of the fans on here want to hang on with Dak, who has a failed career.

Some how, we lucked out and made a trade with the Niners to get the kid.

(btw, Purdy was terrible in that SB. He’s not the answer.)

How lucky can we get?

Trance will be on the side in 2024 and in Canada in 2025.

You think we should hang on with Dak?

We know how that ends.

That’s why they made the trade for the kid.

He’s the reason they can make a move against Dak.

 

[gjkoeppen]

Some positions are clearly more dependent on others doing their job first.

Yes like a oline blocking for both passing and running plays, a secondary that blows coverage, receivers who drop passes.

I wish we could get a true assessment of where he is today compared to this overview from 3 years ago.
