So you make a claim and can’t post the link? Of course you can’t because it’s not true and it’s been debunked already. I knew you didn’t have the link just wanted to see if you was gonna play yourself and you did.
No, I said I’m not going to do the work for you. Stop deflecting you disingenuous person.

But notice what all those guys have in common….well I can’t speak on Geno but in regards to Mayfield and Darnold? Sucked until they got with Shanahan and McVay…..an offense Lance apparently couldn’t grasp or couldn’t develop under. I’m also not entirely sure how good Baker and Donald are but it’s hard to get overly excited by the next Baker Mayfield….especially if I gotta wait a few years for it to happen.
Lance had about 10 starter snaps before he got to San Francisco. (Yes, that's an exaggeration.) He had a long way to go before he was even ready for a Shanahan or McVay. I mean, Romo had lots more starting experience in college and he had to basically be rebuilt as a QB before he could get on the field. I think if we had thrown Romo to the wolves his first year, he would have been eaten. His mechanics were awful. Fans upset by the interceptions he threw with experience would have been a lot more upset. Etc.

There is no substitute for on-field work. Again, I'm not saying Lance would ever become a suitable NFL starter, but the only way he has any kind of chance is with lots and lots of reps. He needs practice reading defenses in game situations. He needs to make mistakes and have the opportunity to learn from them. There's just so much you can't simulate. Going to the UFL obviously would not be the same as playing in the NFL, but it would give him some of that experience he is sorely missing.

Because you don’t have it…just own up to it you heard someone say it and you just regurgitated what you heard someone else say like the sheep you are. You played yourself. Just admit and move on don’t double down on silly.

Comparing Dak to Lance is some of the dumbest comparisons you will see on this site. Pure stupidity.
One has a stronger arm and is a much better running threat. The other chokes in big games and looks like a scared deer peering up from headlights.

We will see what happens, but Lance was confident enough not to sign the Cowboys low ball offer a few weeks ago. Lance and his agent must feel that they can get more. He will get an offer or offers in free agency.

Durr. Of course I don't have it. Hence my telling you I'm not going to do your work for you.

Your lack of belief in the claim is irrelevant to the fact that it exists, it has been posted her multiple times, and it is true.

Gawd. You're either really slow or really disingenuous. I'm betting on both.

Dak had his best year of his career a year ago at 30 lol. So it’s not 24…..he actually had the worst season of his career career at 24…

Lance is a much better athlete than Joe Burrow too. It’s irrelevant to being an actual football player.

Lance ceiling as a back up. You are just weirdly enamored with his legs.
I do like his mobility but actually love his arm strength compared to Dak. Plus I like what I see mentally, he's maturing.

Dak has the yips, he can't let go of the ball in tough spots, he holds it or throws it up for grabs like a choker. If you can't see that sorry bro

Dak will start next year and if we're smart Lance is backing him up

I just read this tidbit in this article.

“ Lance is only about seven months older than Washington rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. He's a day younger than Atlanta's Michael Penix and two months or so younger than Bo Nix in Denver.”

I’ve been on the fence about writing him off but this certainly puts things in perspective. Add this to the Darnold resurrection and we sometimes can be too quick to sunset these guys.

He needs a lot of game time experience to really know what he is. I wish there was a G league equivalent for the NFL. Just musing, but I wonder what the precedence is of a team loaning a player to the UFL during the summer.

I'd like that, or the CFL or Japanese X League.

I would definitely keep Lance and resign Rush or draft his replacement. There is just so much upside with Lance as back up vs. Rush. I do believe stay with rush after the season was lost vs. Bengals.

This gave Rush tape that he could get a payday somewhere else and would make Lance less valuable to keep.

Since this is the logic of a Dumbo GM, it is going to back fire in Jerry Dumbo GM Jones face.

I would like for Lance to be the backup. Then he can get some experience when Dak gets hurt. I'd like to see Lance get a bunch of starts in a row. Then you can see what you got.

He just started against the Playoff Commanders and played just fine without Cee Dee Lamb.

The kid can play. SF blew it with Lance and Darnold, IMO with lack of patience. Let SF simmer in their upcoming 65m a year Brock Purdy contract

Suggest 1. Who is he? Where is he?
I see what ur doing: If not Lance, then who genius?

But we have to approach this like a physician, not do something harmful just for the sake of doing SOMETHING, and remember the hypocratic oath:

First, do no ham

Dak and Rush are good QBs. Good enough to win under Jerry? Probably not. The problem is the Cowboys need a Mahomes and I don’t know where the hell to get one.
Oh that's simple. Just ask some of the Zaney Zoners here for a trade proposal to get the actual Patrick Mahomes.


Spoiler Alert: A 2nd, and Mazi Smith should do it, will be the proposed solution

I think Lance could be active in about half of the QB plays in the 2025 preseason. That would help him to develop to some extent. Filling in for an injured Dak Prescott might also possibly play a role in ensuring that process to continue. I'm assuming another QB won't be drafted. We'll see.

Ok so let me mark you down as someone else who doesn’t know about football….clearly Lance is better than Burrow because he has a stronger arm and a running threat. Yeah that’s all it takes to succeed in the NFL.

You’re way off topic already. And no, for the umpteenth time, I’m not doing your work for you. You can do a search here or on the internet to find it yourself. You’re such a disingenuous blowhard.
