Dak has had 8, 8 years well then lance hasn’t even had one. Lance hasn’t played one season worth of NFL football to compare. He’s only played 2 games with the first team offense he actually practiced with. He started 4 count them 4 games..Dak had that many games good or bad by 4 games into his rookie year. Trey’s game log looks like this intermittent his rookie year coming in for an injured garapollo second half of week four making week five and week seventeen the only starts he had. He didn’t even practice with first team, so no chemistry was built with wr, etc. That’s no way to even compare one vs the other, he had no chemistry those two games. Then in 2022, year 2 he got injured 2 games into the season, but let’s count it as another year, even though we all give Dak a pass on his injured ankle year. 2023 makes 3 years but he didn’t play and wasn’t expected to bc he had no preseason with the cowboys and he was brought in as a project. Now we count that as year 3.lol. What we are comparing is someone we don’t know if he’s a Ryan Leaf, Jamar Russell, etc bc he hasn’t had that full season or two to lose every game and show he’s not capable. He needs time, real game time with players he has built chemistry(timing with) to truly compare. The question becomes are we willing to pay lance a lower tier number that he would get if drafted in third or fourth round or go pay another third or fourth rd pick or option three put that money towards a real first rd pick that we plan on starting and committing too? He’s a rookie with minimal nfl experience, not four years. The comparison is do we believe he is worth a mid tier contract and commit to taking a real chance(leaf, Russel, Z wilson, etc) chance. Are we sure we will go 3-15 with him or if he goes 8-8 is every good with giving him a second year to improve on it? Dak looked like pure trash in 2018, passing yards 170 in first game loss, 160 in second week, which was won the ground, week three 168, week four 255, week five 208. What I’m saying is in those four games we should’ve cut Dak bc he was absolute trash. Give Lance 18 games and sit Dak who cares we know this isn’t a Super Bowl year and we know what we have with Dak, he’s a regular season princess that can’t overcome the pressure of a big game. Let the rest of the nfl figure out if they want to pay him, also he’s more likely to ask for a trade which we will get something for him instead of letting him walk for free. Just one of many options but it is an option nonetheless.
