Trey Lance, Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix, Bo Nix

[Chasing6]

And still has zero experience.

Archie Manning has more experience than he does.

 

[Chasing6]

The Cowboys are not going to let him walk, after giving up a 4th round pick and thinking he has potential (even if they might be deluding themselves).

Sure if he signs a 3 year, $3M contract. He can sit for another 3 years.

 

[Chasing6]

Here’s a thought . If you bring back all three QB’s between mini camp Pre season games throw the position up for grabs . Is it a given Prescott wins I say no

You would be wrong.

 

[Chasing6]

They are all 24 years old.

24 year old rookie.

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.

Lance is never going to be a quality QB in the NFL, NEVER! He saw dollar signs and took the money and ran almost out of the league. The dude should have have stayed in school and worked on his craft, he didn’t end of story!

I would rather him be the backup than Rush or Grier.

Maybe the Cowboys should look at the 14 teams in the playoffs. See what those teams employ as back up quarterbacks and acquire a quarterback with a similar resume.

I agree but that isn’t happening in Dallas and deep down, you know it too

Trey Lance is faster and stronger than Prescott ever was and he's 24, he needs more time, has major upside. SF tried to be cute with Lance and Darnold, they were wrong, they wanted to be geniuses with their 6th rd pick

They were wrong? Have watched Darnold this season?

Purdy was the last pick in round 7.

The theory I've been thinking about:

The conventional wisdom is that first round picks need to be instant starters while mid and later round picks carry clipboard and learn. But I wonder if we have that backwards.

Most of the best mid to late rounders (Brady, Montana, Unitas, Starr, Anderson,Tarkenton, etc.) were at least fighting for starting jobs from the beginning. And most of the qbs who bounce around and take time to develop (the Plunkett Model) were first round picks.

Mayfield, Darnold, Goff, Geno Smith in recent years, are good examples.

Top QB picks are typically for horrific teams.

Problem for Trance was he was a high pick that was picked by a great team due to the trade up. He had zero excuses.

Trance is a one hit wonder like the Macarena.

24 year old rookie.

What are you talking about? Lance isn't a rookie.

 

[Chasing6]

What are you talking about? Lance isn't a rookie.

His combined playing time is less than a rookie.

24 year with the experience of a 3 year HS starter.

It still doesn't mean he's a rookie.

 

[jaythecowboy]

That kind of thing may be able to happen in the future, but not without the expressed consent of the NFLPA.

I think it would be a win for everyone honestly. The player would presumably get more money than a UFL contract, the NFL gets their player development, and the UFL gets presumably better players to put out a better product.

 

[Whirlwin]

So what is he still like 21 years old lol

Why lol. He’s not even in his prime yet or close to it.

 

[Whirlwin]

It still doesn't mean he's a rookie.

In NFL terms, experience yes he’s still a rookie

 

[Whirlwin]

I would rather him be the backup than Rush or Grier.

Why would you consider putting him that far down the line. Or was this a dig on Prescott. Will sucks almost as bad as Cooper rush.

 

[noshame]

The problem is you have a head coach married to a system and not building a system around the player.
I've seen good things, and I've seen bad things from Trey Lance, but I haven't seen enough things to figure out if they're correctable.
The potential is there.

I’ve never heard of a professional athlete willingly taking a pay cut to go to the minors .

Especially in the “Not For Long” (NFL). Their are people who played 14 years as a backups holding clipboards. It may be the best thing for him not getting exposed to much. Potential means contracts. He just has to keep improving behind the scenes until he gets his chance with what ever team.
