Yes, if you believe in your ability, go to the UFL, prove yourself and drive your price up. Again, Lance needs playing time and lots of it. That is his best chance to get it. No team is going to turn the reins over to him so he's looking at a backup spot at best for 2025, which means limited snaps.
Rodgers and Love were starters in waiting, though. Lance is a failed first-round pick. He's got to earn another shot.
so what? he has been in the NFL for four years. those other guys are rookies and have done way more than he has done in his 4 years.
they don't have to let him walk. he can choose that himself. he is a UFA. unless cowboys throw a lot of money to entice him to stay and be back up for another 3 years...and why would he do that?
I've been saying this for a while I think there's an agreement that NFL needs something like that the UFO would be perfect but he needed to be on a team that allowed him time to develop but I agree and he might be worth keeping for the right price not just Sam darnold Baker Mayfield Gino Smith how they were trying to write off young over there with Carolina I mean people are just in a hurry and sometimes it just takes a little longer for some players to adapt to the NFL especially when they're not getting on the field...
Probably, but I think it's his best chance at showing he can play quickly. Otherwise, he's going to have to go somewhere as a backup and hope the starter falters and they have to turn to him. I mean, Darnold only got his second chance in Minnesota because first-rounder J.J. McCarthy got hurt in the preseason.
sorry but Dak >>>> Lance...that is not competition...lets bring in someone legit for competition.
He can't earn it sitting on the bench getting no reps as the third guy they should have used him so much more the last four weeks and then we wouldn't have to hear about Cooper rush losing his shot at a bonus because he never had the ability to earn it if they gave Lance what they should have over the last three weeks is a longer look I think he looked pretty good given how cold he is coming off the bench...
is NFL = Olympics!? seriously. so what....Tom Brady ran a 5.0 in the 40. manning ran a 4.9. so is Lance better than them because he runs faster?
Not really I mean that's why he got on the field but how do we know that JJ McCarthy would have just been bad the first four weeks and you see other teams do it they immediately go to the season veteran and give their rookie more time or give the guy who's struggling more time they did it with Bryce young Carolina they tried to go back to the veteran and then circle back around they did it in with the Saints I mean you gotta get guyers reps or you're not really gonna know who they are I think Lance is getting a bad rap because he's not getting enough reps in live action because that's where it all happens not in practice he can practice all he wants but those plays where he pulled the string on Rico I don't think that happens if he's not super excited and trying to make a big play because he knows that maybe the last one he gets to make this year literally what goes through a guy's mind like that he choked on that play he didn't want to throw the pass high or low so he tried to pull the string on it and aim it I don't think he does that with more experience...
so? show me one person. a single person from this board this past off season that said we should get Darnlod, because he is about to break out.
Both he and Vaughn should have been receiving reps IMO but the front office was holding out hopes for reaching the playoffs that everyone else knew wasn't happening. When we saw that Elliott was exactly what we thought he was and Cook as well, we should have given Vaughn a chance paired with Dowdle. When we lost Prescott, we should have at least mixed in Lance with Rush if not turned to Lance completely to see if he could improve enough over the remainder of the season to at least be the primary backup.
dallas needs to draft a QB, in 2nd or 3rd round with real potential and good college experience and develop him.
No worse than seeing a midnight deal for Dak becoming the highest paid player in history with nothing to show for.
what talent? where is the talent? because he can throw hard? so can 100 other QBs in college. he can run a 4.5? so can 10s of other QBs in college. so what?
Yes, McCarthy could have failed and the Vikings turned to Darnold anyway. I'm just saying McCarthy getting hurt is the reason Darnold got his shot when he did. Maybe McCarthy would have been fine and Darnold would have just sat on the bench.
OMG, the first time ever you made sense.
well, years back, probably before you were born. Jason Garrett had a 315 yard game and 2 TDs against a GB team that was playoff bound and started Bret Favre.
One major difference is Lance young and has a lot of upside that Rush and Garrett never had.
